SPRINT SERIES – LATEST
The
Second Super Sprint Race (say that three times fast!) centred around Lilliput
Adventure Centre again. Despite the Gale force winds, big numbers showed up
again! A change to the bike route gave a decidedly more hilly course for the
intrepid racers may have given them a different time, but a valuable
experience. Some even went as far as increasing the cycle course, evidently
hungry for more bike work. Results for
this 2km run – 14km bike – 2km run event will be posted on the Super Sprints page shortly
(whenever I get them...Enda, seriously, when am I getting them).
