I would like to say a massive thank you to the staff, pupils and wider Middletown community for their support in the lead up to my Triathlon European Championships Age Group race for Tri Team Ireland in Madrid last weekend. I was one of 32 Irish Triathletes competing in Madrid over the weekend, and your support was greatly appreciated! Unfortunately due to the poor water quality of the lake in Madrid the format of the race was changed from a Triathlon to a Duathlon, with the planned 1500m swim replaced by a 5km run. It was a very memorable experience, made all the easier by the support received from everyone in and around Middletown, along with my club Armagh Pikekickers and Ryan Kelly from Parklands Restaurant in Armagh!
