Women in Triathlon

 

 

We have over 121 female members in Piranha (January 2023) and a wide variety of levels and experiences and makeup 42% of the total membership.

Some women train together and it is easy to find someone at your level to swim/cycle/run with. In addition, Triathlon Ireland organise a number of women only training events, which are well attended by the female Piranha members.

The Female Piranhas are also known for their social skills and will be looking for new members to join in on post-race celebrations!

If you are a new to tri and want to get some info then email Joanne, Piranha’s Women’s Lead at womenslead@piranhatri.com for any further information.

Women in Sport Events

  • In March 2023 we ran a campaign highlighting some of the incredible achievements of women in triathlon, both in our club and beyond. Check out our posts on our Instagram and Facebook pages!
  • We joined forces with the women of Belpark Tri for a ‘social spin’. The emphasis of the social spin was getting out on a group ride (a first for some members), meeting other club members and of course the all important coffee and cake stop!
  • We ran a Women’s Beginner Triathlon Programme in conjunction with Triathlon Ireland. This was a fantastic six week training programme which led in completing a race at TriAthy.
  • In August we ran a lovey Yoga and Dip at Bull Island as part of the #findyouroutdoors campaign in conjunction with Sport Ireland.
