The Lone Ranger Returns!


Back in black; the legendary tune by AC/DC... with one very simple message - The Chicago Triathlon 2009 must be conquered!

This year our team numbers have grown by 230%. Preparation and training commenced a number of months ago and most importantly our fund raising target is now a minimum of €35,000. My first experience of the Chicago Triathlon with Shane and John was an unforgettable voyage of discovery from start to finish. It was a step into the unknown for all three of us. We learned so much about ourselves, each other and the willingness of others to support and encourage us to reach our goals. This year, the bar has been raised significantly. Armed with my knowledge from last year, I hope to guide the first timers through the Crumlin (CMRF) experience of the Chicago Triathlon.

To be honest, I’m a little jealous of the guys who will be embarking on this adventure for the first time. Having lived the dream last year I have become completely hooked. The anticipation of the unknown and then the exhilaration of crossing the finish line is what makes the first Chicago Triathlon so special. Expectation amongst the group is sky high... there is already very healthy banter and competition but ultimately this is a unique opportunity for us to measure ourselves against your own potential.

The Trionic 7 will never let our heads hang. We will never give up, sit down or despair. We will find a way

In the words of Snowpatol... it’s time to Take Back the City
