CHAIRMANS ADDRESS
It is an honour and a privilege to be selected as Chairman of Omagh Triathlon Club. The club was founded over ten years ago by a group of friends, all with keen interest in the sport of triathlon. From a small beginning of just a few members the club has grown today to 100 members. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our former Chairman Gavin Corrigan and the committee members for their hard work and commitment they have put into our club especially over this last few years. A big part of our past and future success is based on our efforts to support and embrace our current and new club members. I hope to follow in the footsteps of my former chairmen to develop our club and ensure our members feel they belong and be proud to be part of the OTC family. We would like to encourage members to join us on the committee. We are a friendly group, with true passion for the sport and always benefit from hearing new views on the development of our sport. 2020 has been a particularly challenging period as the Covid Pandemic brought a halt to sporting events across the globe. As we look hopeful into the year ahead we can begin to get back to the sport we enjoy so much. Never has it been more important to encourage people of all ages and ability levels into our sport of triathlon and to continue to support, promote and motivate our new and existing members. When I first joined OTC in 2015 I was made feel so welcome and I would like this spirit to continue. Omagh Triathlon Club is unique in many ways, we especially take pride in the wealth of knowledge of some of our more experienced members who guide, support and encourage all new and existing members. The club currently offers a weekly training schedule to cater for all abilities over the three disciplines. Our weekly pool swim sessions are structured and planned sets are provided to ensure the non-confident swimmer to the advanced are all facilitated. Mid-week and weekend cycles have carefully organised routes and pre-arranged groups to ensure all abilities are catered for to ensure a fun and safe cycle. We also have a weekly run session where we have the advantage of joining with our local running club.
I want to finish by wishing you all a happy and enjoyable year ahead. Be content and happy in whatever you do this year going forward. Appreciate your health everyday.... Triathlon doesn’t build character, It reveals it....
Swim like the boat is sunk
Bike like you stole it
Run for your life.
