Fresh from his showing at the South Munster Schools Cross Country last week, Chris Mintern was in action yesterday at the Limerick Duathlon European Qualifier. He put in a great performance in the Elite Duathlon event – 4K run, 20K bike, 4K run – to finish 6th senior and 3rd junior overall. This now qualifies him for the European Junior Elite Duathlon Championships in April.
Chris is a member of the Triathlon Ireland Junior Squad and trains as part of Donie Walsh’s distance group, joining the growing number of top-class triathletes in the club.
