If you are a woman and a triathlete (or interested in becoming one) then head along to the Women For Tri® Galway Gathering on 17 January.

Tri Talking Sport in association with Women For Tri® will host an evening of information, inspiration and motivation for females interested in triathlon. The event will take place in Bradley Renault, Galway on Wednesday 17 January from 6:30 pm. The Gathering aims to inspire and encourage those present on their triathlon journey over the 2018 season. The free event will include a line up of inspiring speakers to motivate the novice to the experienced athletes.

Speakers include; Dr. Sue Redmond of Unwrapping Brilliance, Dr. Jane Walsh of NUIG School of Psychology, Anna Grealish of Triathlon Ireland and Jonathan Gibson of The Athlete Clinic. Each speaker will share their professional and personal experiences of triathlon, covering topics like time management, peak performance, coaching, mindfulness, nutrition, recovery and much more with a very specific female focus. So whether your goal is to improve your triathlon performance or just to sign up for your very first one. This informal gathering will provide the perfect opportunity to learn, be inspired and mix with like-minded souls.

Speaking about the event, Joanne Murphy, event organiser and  Women For Tri Global Ambassador says, “The mission of Women for Tri is to encourage, support, empower and break down barriers for women to take up the sport of triathlon. I am delighted to host the first ever Women for Tri event in Ireland next week.  My hope for the Galway events that we will inspire and encourage more females into a sport that has contributed so much to me personally at so many levels over the past number of years.  Triathlon was the catalyst for my recent career change and sporting achievements, I would like to see more female athletes taking the opportunity to get involved in a sport I am very passionate about.”

This is a female-focused event as part of the global Women for Tri Programme and is free to attend, just RSVP on the website. For more information email tritalkingsport@gmail.com.
