Post Triathy News - Don’t tell Whacker !

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Contrary to what I said on my twitter - this Tractor was not a prize in Triathy ! Maybe though something for the organisers to think about for next year.
Myself and Fraser Cartmell packed up and checked out of the Cartlon Hotel in Athy 3hrs late - admittedly it was more my fault than his [...]
