And Tom got roped into showing off his Bristish Masters Pentathlon Silver medal, won last week in Oxford. The 5 events were Long Jump, Javelin, 200m, Discus and 1500m. That could be you next year!!

For those looking to do sessions to improve their speed try to incorporate the Tuesday session at 5:45 at the RSC and also the Circuit training for members on Wednesday at 7pm in KilBarra sports centre. Click HERE for location map.

Alternatively, make sure your name is at the sign in sheet for competing members and you can use the RSC anytime (including Sat & Sun) for just €2. Shot, discus, high jump etc all provided by asking at the front desk at the RSC.

If you want guidance on suitable sessions to do ask Derek, Mal or Tom anytime. If you identify the event/distance you want to focus on let them know and they will give you sessions to work through.

The club thanks Mal for organising the session on Saturday and for Tom and Jacinta in helping him and of course Derek coming along to get everyone in the 'zone' for the relay changeovers!!
