Wicklow 100 Training Programme 2017

As was announced at the Leisure Summer Launch last night, Kathryn Keogh is again running her successful Wicklow 100 Training Programme this year.

The Wicklow 100 is the younger sibling of the Wicklow 200 and takes place the same day as the main event (Sunday June 11th 2017) on a portion of the main route.

This programme also brings participants on a 10 week journey building up both distance and climbing ability, week by week, in order to complete the event in June.

There was a phenomenal response to this programme last night and due to the current limited availability of leaders for this challenge, it is now full but we are running a waiting list and should this change and more leader availability arise, we will attempt to accommodate as many members as possible.

If you did not get to sign up last night but are still interested, please reply below and Kathryn will add you to the waiting/standby list.

Thanks

Thanks to Kathryn and to all the leaders for giving up their time! I didn't make the Wicklow 100 last year but looking forward to nailing it this year!

Hi,

Interested in doing the Wicklow 100 Training Programme if a place becomes available!

Many thanks

Eileen

Thank-you!

Is it too late to sign up for WW100 training? Mary

Hi All

Looking forward to Saturday, is it the TSB next to the Credit Union on the Main St in Dundrum?

I tried to get an ID band from CI but no luck. I have my ICE details on a card in my saddlebag for now but will try again to get an ID band.

Also - there's no attachment of the Provisional training attached that I can see

Thanks

Hey Siobhan

Kathryn sent a message to the group (on What's App) last night confirming that it's actually Uncle Tom's Cabin at 9am on Saturday.

As for ID bracelets, I've got the ROAD ID and it's top quality - highly recommend it. www.roadid.com/

Thanks Aoife

I didn't get any msg, would you mind mentioning on the whassap group that I haven't been added or receiving messages.

Will look at the road id link - thanks

See you Saturday

Just pinged Kathryn who is looking after the group training. Maybe just rock up and exchange numbers on Saturday? There's no private messaging option that I can see here, so can't send you her number.

Cheers Aoife

Do you know how far we're going on Sat? Just trying to get an idea of approx time we'll be back - thanks

Hey Siobhan

We're off to Greystones. Kathryn is trying to connect with you via text and What's App. Are you getting notifications?

Thanks Aoife - sorted now, on whatsapp group
Thanks for your help :-)

Hi Siobhan, Kathryn,

I just joined the club recently and would like to do the W100.
Would it be possible to get a copy of your training programme?
Thank you,
Brendan

Hi Brendan

Welcome to Orwell! I'm afraid I don't know what the training programme is and can't see an attachment here. I will mention it to one of the leaders on Saturday. Would you like to join the 100 group going out on Saturdays? I could check to see if there's room for one more?
Siobhan

Hi Brendan

If you would like to join the Orwell 100 training group Kathryn has said there is space for one more.
Meet this Saturday 9am at the TSB (next to Dundrum Credit Union) and let one of the leaders know who you are.

Thanks
Siobhan
