CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR CLUB ACTIVITIES

CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR CLUB ACTIVITIES

CHRISTMAS DAY – GOAL MILE – 11a.m.
Once again, the Goal Mile is being held at Faungorth Activity Centre from 10am-12. We’re asking KTC members to call in at 11am so that we can take part as a group. This is a great way to get a bit of exercise in advance of the day’s excesses and support a great cause – remember to wear your club gear for the pictures!

FRI 27th DEC – POOL SWIM & GET-TOGETHER – 7.15p.m.
If you’d like to get a swim in over Christmas, we’re arranging a club swim at the Kenmare Bay Pool from 7.15-8.45p.m. on Fri 27th Dec. If you’re a non-member, we’ve arranged a special €5 rate for the evening. We’ll head over to the Brook Lane afterwards for drinks/hot chocolate to boast about who did the most and fastest laps!

SAT 28th DEC – XMAS CLUB CYCLE – 10a.m.
Our traditional seasonal spin, departing from Centra at 10a.m. This year, the Lost Sheep route (90kms), with a coffee stop in Glengarriff for some festive goodies! There is also the possibility of a shorter route (e.g. Bo Peep or Sneem Loop) if the interest is there. Showers afterwards at the Bay Leisure Centre for €3.

SUN 29th DEC – “EPIC RUN” – 10a.m.
Join us on Sunday Dec 29th for another 10 miles of torture! Route is the Kerry Way from Torc to Kenmare. Depart from Centra by bus 10a.m. €5p.p. Showers afterwards at the Bay Leisure Centre for €3 and post-run soup & sandwiches at Jam.

Please contact Robert Whyte directly robertwhytex@gmail.com as he needs to confirm numbers for the bus & food.

INTRODUCING… “THE BIG BAD WOLF” WEEKEND TRIATHLON!
Why not challenge yourself over the Festive Season and take on the Pool Swim, Cycle and Run? If you do100 lengths on the Fri night (approx. 1.9km – but no-one will be counting, it’s an honour system!), the Lost Sheep Cycle on the Sat and the Epic Run on the Sunday, you’ll have completed the equivalent of a half “Ironman” Triathlon over 3 days! We may even award “prizes” to finishers in Jam on the Sunday…

NEW YEAR’S DAY – OPEN WATER DIP – 2p.m.
The New Year’s Day swim will take place at Killmacalogue Pier at 2pm. As usual this is a non-wetsuit swim and all the family are welcome. This year, there will be prizes for the skimpiest mankini and bikini!! We will be swimming from the steps to the slipway but will have the comfort in knowing that there will be hot beverages and food available in Helan’s bar après swim. Keep an eye on Facebook for details closer to the date.

Turbo Training Update
Filed Under (news, Training News) by tom

Our club turbo training is going from strength to strength, with up to 10 people now turning up at our sessions on Mon, Weds and Fri. It’s great to see new faces this year and, as we’re sure anyone who attends will testify, it’s a fantastic way to train for people of all abilities and to meet other club members.

 

Due to this increased interest, the Club has decided to invest in 4 additional new turbo trainers and, from the New Year, turbo will cost €3/session if you use a club trainer and remain at €2/session if you use your own. Previous policy was that club trainers were there to give members a chance to try out turbo for a few sessions, before buying their own if they wished to continue. With the purchase of these new trainers, we are now giving members the option of not having to buy their own, in return for a slightly higher fee.

 

If however, you are interested in buying, you can avail of a special reduced price being offered to us by Speedy Spokes for the Cycleops Magneto – €195 (reduced from €225 RRP). Product details below:

http://www.cycleops.com/en/products/trainers/magneto-trainer.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=167&category_id=3

 

If you’re interested, please email info@kenmaretri.com ASAP.

Christmas Training Events
Filed Under (news) by tom

Goal Mile – Christmas Day, 11am

As always, we are encouraging all members to come along and support this great event, which helps to support all the work being done by Goal around the world. It takes place at Faungorth Activity Centre from 10am to 12 noon on 25th December, but we’re asking KTC members to come along at 11am if possible, so that we can enjoy the run together. If you have club gear, please wear it and we’ll all look lovely!

 

St. Stephen’s Day Cycle – 26th December, time TBC

What better way to work off all that turkey and Christmas pud than by going out for a nice spin the day after? Last year we headed to Sneem and stopped off for well-earned coffee and cake. Everyone had so much fun, we’ve decided to repeat the exercise this year! Once again, it’ll be a ‘not-too-early’ start, time TBC closer to the date. As always, we’ll post details on the Facebook page or you can drop an email to our Training Officer Teresa at: theresa_o_s@yahoo.co.uk

 

Christmas Cross-Country Run – 30th December, 10am

The brains behind this operation, Robert Whyte, is giving it the official title, “10 Miles of Hell”, and anyone who took part in last year’s event will understand why! This is not one for the faint-hearted: a tough trail run along the Old Killarney Road (Kerry Way), finishing back in town, with showers and refreshments for the survivors – sorry, finishers! There will be a bus to the start, departing from Centra at 10am on Sun 30th Dec, with a small fee (numbers dependent) to cover the cost. Joking aside, due to the challenging nature of the event, we’ll have to insist that only full KTC members, or other TI members, can participate for insurance purposes. Bring your TI membership card (2012 or 2013) on the day, just so we’re all covered. If you’re interested, please let Robert know ASAP on robertwhytex@gmail.com so that he can make arrangements.

 

New Year’s Day Swim – 1st January 2013

Had enough yet? OK, then how would you like to jump off Kilmacillogue Pier into the freezing Atlantic on New Year’s Day? Ah yes, that’s the spirit, we thought you might. It is rumoured that a wetsuit ban may be enforced, but that’s nothing that a few of Helen’s hot toddies afterwards won’t fix! Time TBC, but if you’re interested, please contact Mike at mikeymerrigan@gmail.com

ADJUSTMENTS TO WINTER TRAINING SCHEDULE
Filed Under (news, Training News) by tom

Some adjustments have been made to the Training Schedule.

At the request of members, Monday night’s Turbo session has moved from 7pm to 7.30pm. There will also be an additional Turbo session on Wednesday mornings at 6.45am, with effect from 14 Nov. It’s great to see new members at Turbo recently; it’s great winter training and a great way to meet fellow members. There are several club turbo trainers available, so for starters just bring your bike (plus a towel and water!). Non-members are more than welcome to attend a session or two to see what it’s all about, before (hopefully!) joining.

Wednesday evening’s swim session has moved back from 8pm to 7pm (with effect from 14 Nov) to accommodate the earlier closing time of the Kenmare Bay pool.
