Belpark held a meet and greet night on saturday 18th February for new members and those thinking of taking up triathlon. We had a great turn out and chairman Kevin Keane kicked off the night by explaining what the club had to offer in terms of training, upcoming Easter training camp and not forgetting the social scene. Swim coach Stephen (The Fish) Early gave his top tips for how to tackle the most intimidating of the three disciplines. Members Niall Michel spoke about how to juggle training with work and family demands and Helen French spoke about her experience of getting into triathlon at beginner level. Ladies officer Ellen Murphy updated attendees on ladies training initiatives planned over the coming months. Belpark members Bill McCormack, Niall Somers, Eilis Connery and Mick Bolger were on hand to answer various queries and some snazzy tri bikes were on display just to whet people’s appetite for triathlon.
Big thanks to Niall Somers for organising the evening.
