Well the weather god's were smiling once agian on Bray Seafornt as round two of the 2010 WTC Aquathon series got underway. With flooding in Dublin, Bray got away with a little rain that cleared just before the start of the race and then the sun even came out to cheer everyone on.
Again this was another great race with plenty of compeition especially in the ladies race where Lizzy Lee was back from Cork to defend her title from last year with an outstanding run beating Aoife O'Connor into second place in a time of 31:57. In third it was Linda Clarke who is new to mulit sport this year but put in a fantasic performance coming in just ahead of Bronagh Ni Bhriain. As this race was part of the Tri Start Series and proudly sponsored by The Irish Sports Council's Women In Sport it was fantastic to see so many new women racing on the night.
In the mens race it was Stephen Early in a great time of 28:37 who stormed home nealry two minutes ahead of his nearest rival Eoin Mc Donald who raced home in 30:28 closely followed by Aidan Murphy in third.
Again WTC would like to send out a big thanks to our main sponsor Damien McKeever of Amphibian King, Women in Sports and Tracey in the Wicklow Local Sports Partnership Group for all there support. A very special thnaks has to go out to the Martello Bar for the brilliant Soup and Sambo's which I think everyone will agree were very welcome (Check out the martello online at there facebook page http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/themartello?v=wall ) and also Bray Sailing Club, the Irish Coast Guard and all our marshalls on the night.
