NEWS JUST IN – we have just found out that our dear friend and Boru club mate Rosie Foley has just completed her goal of swimming the English Channel.
She left at 07.52 from Dover Saturday (26th July) and arrived safely in France just a few moments ago (late Saturday night) after many hours in the sea.
!!!!!! !!!speechless!!!
On 21st June she swam the length of Lough Derg 38km in her swimsuit – and here we are just a hop, skip and a month later and she’s after swimming to France. Will someone please tie her up now?
Rosie you are an absolute inspiration, we are so so proud of you!!!.
There is only one word for you Rosie – PHENOMENAL!!!! Well done girl, I’m sure you will find a way to top that but hope that for now – you might rest on your water wings for maybe a week or two?
Oddly enough I was suspicious that something was amiss when her name was not on the Thomond Swim results today…but did not expect this to be the reason!!! Awesome Rosie. Absolutely awesome achievement. Congratulations and buckets of best wishes from everyone here

A great day was had today in Ennis at the I-Tri – 6 BoruMen and an all Boruwoman Relay Team – Boru Abu out in the sunshine at Ballyalla Lake.
A great event today from Ennis Tri Club, well run, and lovely routes, definitely a good one for the calendar for the future with Swim/Run events for the kids also!
For the big boys and girls, Best Boru Swim and first man home goes to Bobby of The Finned Foot Reynolds, Best Boru Cycle to Paul Legs Dorrell for an awesome bike time, and Best Run goes to Michael The Motor Kelly but only by a second over Bobby Reynolds! Great well rounded performances also from Donagh O'Sullivan and John Dillon. Serious competition among the boys who all came home within 8 minutes of each other!
The newly formed all female Boru Abu Relay came in 3rd overall in the relay teams. Well done to Fiona Ward, Linda Bracken and Karen Larkin.
And then there is the comeback kid, who after 21 yrs, dusted off his cape and returned for a comeback tri today – Des O'Donnell – romped home like a happy Labrador in 1hr and 14mins as 2nd Boru man home, looking fresh as a daisy not a bead of sweat nor a hair out of place. Just goes to show when you have it, you never lose it. Well done Boruvians! Another great day notched up on the calendar. For those who went on home by the way – you missed some great food!
Best of luck to everyone competing this weekend – be it Ennis I-Tri or Thomond S…

Interesting info for your back pocket – we all do small running repairs on our wetsuits – but we now have a contact who will do bigger repairs if you are in need. These repairs will start at €20 – cheaper than a new suit. so if you are in need – drop us a msg – and we will forward on the details.

The draw for the free spot in the I-Tri sprint was made today in front of independent witnesses from Stokes Kennedy Crowley… well other triathletes from Ennis TC on the shores of Ballyalla Lake – the winner of the free Boru spot is Des O'Donnell – so we will get you in the colours next weekend. Details will follow by email.
many thanks to Ennis TC for facilitating this.

3 Boruvians made it to the practice run through of the I-Tri today at Ballyalla. It was a good day to get out and looks like it will be a great event next week. The swim is lovely – slightly green water – bit different to what we are used to but lovely swim with a dogleg around some reeds – clear sighting points available.
The bike is a dream of a route with baby's bum smoooooooth roads and about as flat as they have ever come in Clare – small little drag here and there but nothing to write home about . Nary a pothole in sight – definitely a road for your PB on the bike so go nuts! Today's speeds were good – we won't mention those who practiced the dark arts of drafting today (Paul Dorrell) as it was only a practice run…..
We elected not to do the run today but the heads that did were happy ones on the return. Fair play to Ennis TC for organising today, many thanks for an enjoyable session.
If you have not booked in for this race – it will be a good one and we have been advised by Ennis TC that you get your name ASAP as the cut off will come very soon!

Excellent result for the chairman Bobby Reynolds at the National Aquathon Championship in Galway yesterday with a Top 50 finish and only 5 places behind friend of Boru Deirdre Kearney who scored an impressive age group win. This Aquathon lark really suits Bobby as no bike = no pesky drafting penalties. Great racing folks!
