🏊‍♀️ 🚴‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️ Tri a Tri at Clonea Beach!

Over the past four Wednesday evenings, eight women took their first steps into triathlon through our welcoming Tri a Tri programme at Clonea Beach, Dungarvan.

Delivered by Waterford Sports Partnership in partnership with Triathlon Ireland, participants built their skills and confidence across swimming, cycling and running.

As swimming can often be the biggest barrier for people considering triathlon, it featured in every session, helping the women become more comfortable and confident in the open water.

The programme finished on a high, with the group putting everything together to complete their own mini triathlon, including both transitions! 👏

It was fantastic to see everyone grow in confidence, support each other and enjoy the challenge along the way.

Participants are now encouraged to continue their journey with Tried & Tested Triathlon Club, providing a great opportunity to stay active, connected and build on their new skills.

A huge well done to all eight women! 💪
