Details of the Eireman-X off-road triathalon this May:

For those who are looking for an extra stimulus or a break from triathlon, mountain biking, cyclocross or adventure racing this will be right up you street. I quickly caution that this is neither a classic mountain bike course nor a straight forward triathlon. Éireman X is a test of nerve and endurance that will bring out the strengths and weakness of triathletes, mountain bikers, cyclocross riders and adventure seekers alike. We still have the familiar format of swim, cycle and run. But the ‘devil is in the detail’ of how this course is going to test your mind, body and spirit.

The world famous ‘Ironman distance’ triathlon was born out of a debate – who is the fitter -  swimmers or runners. We propose to extend this debate to whom will be the faster -mountain bikers, triathletes, cyclocross or adventure racers over an off-road triathlon course. Each discipline have their own advantages. Let’s race them and see…

3 x points to note:
Bragging rights may be delayed as this pilot race may turn into a series of 3.
Don’t bring your best gear – you will be getting dirty and wet (not just the swim). Old runners recommended.
People who have entered the Éireman –Long or Middle distance triathlon will receive a discount off that main race if they enter Éireman X.
