Club Member Testimonials
Pat Haugh.
“I joined West Clare Tri Club in 2016 as a novice runner. The other members welcomed me into the club and helped me to develop my running and slowly encouraged me to explore cycling and then swimming. They helped me to bring it all together in 2017 when I completed my first triathlon Up The Creek in Kilrush. I have gone on to complete 5 marathons and also a number of duathlon’s & triathlons and am enjoying the comradery of the club and meeting new people through the race events we take part in. I am now the current chairperson of the club.”
Jackie O’Brien.
“As someone who had never swum out of their depth in open water or cycled a road bike before, joining the West Clare Triathlon Club was a leap into the unknown. However, the supportive community and expert guidance provided me with the confidence and skills to conquer these challenges. If I can overcome my fears and complete a triathlon, anyone can. It’s more than just a club; it’s a transformative journey waiting for anyone willing to take the plunge and pedal forward. Remember, it’s not just about the finish line; it’s about the empowering journey that awaits every member.”

I joined West Clare Tri in 2010, when the club was first founded. Triathlon was a completely new sport to me and at the time I had only just taken up running but I joined the club anyway and I have never looked back. My first Triathlon was a Try a Tri in Kilkenny, I had a 3rd hand bike, a loan of a wetsuit and anxiety heading to the start line, I kept asking myself why I am doing this but the West Clare Tri Club motto is Try It, Do It, Own It and that is exactly what I did, it was amazing, and I caught the triathlon bug.
