Dublin Triathlon at Islandbridge and the Phoenix Park.
One of the country's largest races - the Dublin City Triathlon is staged in the iconic Phoenix Park each year. This year saw almost 900 athletes take part in the Age Group Sprint Distance National Championships - round 13 of the BMW Triathlon National Series.
Unlike the days prior to the race, the weather stayed dry although blustery but provided good conditions for triathlon.

In the Elite ditance Jonathan Nangle completed the course in 1.03.44.
