The main event on Saturday was the Olympic Triathlon in Belmullet Co.Mayo where we had three competitors making their way to the western outpost for another national series event.
Aidan Callaghan again performed heroically in this hill dominated event in benign racing conditions finishing second.
He is currently the second ranked triathlete in the country within the national series rankings of Triathlon Ireland.
An update on the overall rankings for individuals and club will be available at the end of this month.
John Conaghan won his age category and John McCarron completed his National Series quota and finished 49th overall.
In the aptly named Beast of the East Olympic race based in Glendalough, Wicklow, Jarlath Duffy put his first Olympic race under his belt on another hilly course which took in the Sally Gap.
Triona McMenamin was in France over the weekend representing Ireland in the World Surf Rescue Championships collecting two bronze medals.
In the Derry half Marathon Paul Doherty and John McDaid both ran well recording 1.24.15 and 2.08 respectively with Paul finishing 43rd.
Eugene McGettigan took part in the Ulster 100 mile time trial finishing 18th in a time of 4.22.21.
