A record 49 Letterkenny 24/7 Triathlon Club members took part in Sunday’s super hot NW10k!
Conditions were tough in a blistering heat but 24/7 members performed superbly aided by the shouts and cheers of the wonderful 24/7 support.
Aidan Callaghan was first 24/7 member to cross the line in a fantastic 35:49, setting him up well for next Sunday’s Strabane Lifford Half Marathon.
Gavin Crawford was second member finishing in 36:18. Sean McFadden was third member home in a time of 37:26.
Fionnuala Larkin was the first 24/7 female to finish in a super time of 44:45. Bronagh O’Gara was second lady in 45:24. Ita McGettigan was third female finishing in 48:46, a brilliant performance coming back from an injury.
