SOME Omagh Triathlon Club members headed south this weekend for the Sea2Summit Adventure Race based in Westport, County Mayo.
This event hosts two races for those who want to tackle the shorter ‘Spirit’ race or the longer ‘Supreme’ race, and welcomes thousands of athletes every year to race.
The day begins at the Westport Plaza and Castlecourt Hotel, with a 4km run for all the competitors, followed by an 8km cycle to the base of Croagh Patrick.
From here, they all make their way up and down the tricky climb that is the Reek - with the Supreme competitors going right to the top and the Spirit athletes going about halfway before descending.
For the longer route, upon reaching their bikes again, the participants head out for a hilly 35km cycle back to Roman Island.
The spirit participants will cycle back the 11km to the transition point.
To finish, it would be the same 4km run as earlier - only done in reverse.
Results: Supreme; Dessie McAleer - 04.16.57, Niall Heaney - 04.29.47, Sean Healy - 05.57.09.
Spirit: Grainne McSorley - 02.45.07.
