Just this past Saturday our great little city held their annual “Tri-Athlone”. Stating at 5pm with a 200-meter swim in the River Shannon, then 26-mile bike ride to the little town of Brideswell and back again, then finished up with a 5K run all around the city streets of Athlone, ending at the little square behind Athlone’s Castle right in front of Sean’s Bar. It was wonderful since most of the participants were locals and there was quite an exuberant start and finish to the race. Fortune also shown on all partakers since it was in the 70’s most of the evening. Which, being this far north, sun doesn’t set until well past 10pm. Tom and I shared a hamburger from the street vendor, watched and cheered alongside the locals and drank our Smithwicks from Sean’s bar at the finish line!
