Junior Training Days

Due to current restrictions our junior training days have recommenced for Fingal Tri Junior members only.  Dates for training sessions are communicated via WhatsApp messaging.  We hope to open these training days for all Junior Triathlon Ireland members as soon as possible.  Please keep an eye on our website for updates.

1. Your junior must be a member of Triathlon Ireland to participate (first session . If they are not a member of a triathlon club already it would be great for them to join Fingal (€5, and this can be done when they are joining  www.triathlonireland.com
2. Between the monthly sessions it is important for your junior to be training.

TI Coach Gary Crosson recommends all the juniors to join a swimming club. Their 400m time is what is assessed during talent identification days.

Also keep the cycling up and please make sure that they are practising their bike and transition skills.

Swim / Cycle / Run Training days

These training days are designed to bring together the 3 disciplines of triathlon (Swimming, cycling, running along with transition) into one training session over a 3 hour period once a month. The day is suitable to all abilities however we would ask that your junior can swim at least 1 length of a 25 metre pool (if they can't they can just train in running and cycling). It is a great way to join the three sports that your junior may already be doing with dedicated running and swimming club. All junior athletes under 18 will be catered for on these training days.
 
The programme will be supplied by Elena Maslova and Gary Crossan and they will also advise the children on the ideal training programme between the sessions.

• Swimming gear (wetsuit not required as it's a pool based swim)
