CK Triathlon, my first Olympic distance

[mimnaghe]

Has the identity of the mystery 'Superwoman' from Mullingar been established - and can the rumours regarding x-ray vision be confirmed?

[mimnaghe]

Paula - I hear that Freddie wore a tight spandex figure hugging body suit that day - with a large lightning flash emblem.

What did you wear?

[paulamurray]

Enda, which Freddy?

Freddy Mercury was able to pull it off however when I saw Freddy Murray trooping in in all his glory (I mean lycra) I hid behind Dor's perm and pretended not to know him ;D.

As for me and my outfit - it was soooo long ago I cant remember what I wore

[mimnaghe]

Either Freddy will do but apparently there was only 1 real Freddy there on the day.

Freddie - so that we dont torture ourselves :-

The Line-up at Slane 2006 :-

Chris Rea, Fountainhead, The Bangles

I remembered the Bangles. (I can walk like an Eqyptian). The rest is thanks to google.

For the record I had a kinda' Depeche Mode thang' goin' on with a Paisley Park shirt , drains and pointy shoes. Ab Fabulous!

Check it!

hi jp
great report, enjoyed it. maybe next year i might give an olympic one a go.... or maybe not! and to think i thought you were a veteran of triathlons ..
Eric
ps i have to say that Mr. Duffy pretending he had an education is sad... i suppose when the leaving cert results come out he gets emotional for his youth.... if he can remember back that far...

You can't find your name on the timings because unfortunately the timing man aka Philip had to go to Israel two days later so he couldn't wait for ye to finish !!!

Only messing!!

Thank goodness ye had "Explosive Joseph" on the run leg to get ye in just ahead of the 17 hour time cut off !!!

Maybe next year...

mr. D,
i had people coming up to me and consoling me and patting me on the back after the character assasination you did on me at CK Tri. standing there with the microphone in your hand looking and sounding like a professional bingo caller: 'and next we have Legs 11 from pirahna, yes folks thats Legs 11' and then 'We are still waiting for team bates to finish. the swimmer got of to a great start and the runner is going well, unfortunately the cyclist (furiously pointing at me) let the team down badly....' And then as if that wasnt bad enough when i was doing my impression of a bouncer on the food tent trying to feed the athletes first (where i couldnt believe people actually DID try to get back in for a second dinner protesting they hadnt been there already..) i strongly and loudly refused entry to an obvious non-athlete who turned out to be Mr. Kearney, Edith's father... talk about mortified.....
