The 29th annual Ballycotton 10 mile is coming up on March 5th. There are over 4200 entries, an increase of 50% on last year's biggest race ever. Looking through the race line-up in the entry booklet it looks like there will be a healthy representation from the triathlon scene.

Since the race doesn't start until 1:30pm on Sunday, a number of us are considering taking the following Monday morning off work and making a full weekend of it...
