Indoors – PIRC Nov 2024

24th November 2024 at 11:05 pm

The club travelled down to University of Limerick for the 2024 Provincial Indoor Rowing Championships with 17 members taking part across a range of events. The timetable for the day was pushed back by an hour for everyone given the weather conditions after Storm Bert. As always the Indoors are a great opportunity for all to set personal bests with competition incredibly tough across all categories.

Highlights of the day included the WTY5 Girls relay team of Edie, Katie, Jessica and Kate who took a great win in their 2K relay, Jessica coming 2nd in the Lightweight Womens Open 500m, Edie taking 3rd in the WJ16 2K with Katie coming 4th with a tremendous PB and Kate coming in 5th.

In the younger Molly took 3rd in the WJ15 1K, Faye took 3rd in the WJ14 500m and 5th in the WJ14 4 minute. Leon placed an amazing 7th place out of a field of 104 starters in the MJ13 500m. And last, but certainly not least was Kev carragher who took 2nd in the M40-49 500m in a mind blowing 1:25

A special mention has to go out to our new members who had their first races either on or off the water today. Emily, Moya and Padraig all took part in 2 events each today and made huge improvements on their personal bests. Brilliant work from all three.

Huge congratulations to all who took part, the indoors can be a high pressure environment but a huge range of Personal bests and medals made this WBC’s most successful indoors in a while.

Thanks to Joe and the team at ROWfit for staging an excellent event as always.
