The 5 of us caught the ferry on Friday from Holyhead, rough crossing and glad to get there.
The hotel we stayed in was lovely and close to the start of the race.
Saturday Sally had to register, put her bike in and go for a practice swim, busy day. We also tried to drive the cycle route, this proved to be hard as there was one way systems , closed roads and John had a puncture !!! In the evening Phil, Sarah, Katie and Sam joined us for a meal, very nice !!
Sunday we were out of the hotel by 5.30 am , a walk to the swim start and for Sally go get ready!!
at 7 the pro's started there swim, followed by the other 2000 people taking part, amazing sight watching them all go in a swim, then we managed to watch Sally get out of the water and get on her bike, off she went for a 56 mile bike ride to Dublin , Phil and Sarah were able to catch her going though Dublin.
We all Met in Dublin Park to watch her run, she still looked good, 13.5 miles later and in a time of 6 hours 33 seconds she finished. So proud... She also raised over £2000 for Brain Tumour Research .
She had plenty of support and the atmosphere at the park was amazing, we also walked some miles that day. We all finished the day going to Nando's and having A Teddy's ice cream..
Mon. Sally was tired, a little walk into town , then we headed home on the Ferry..
