AIDAN CALLAGHAN HAS had a busy few weeks.
Two weeks ago, the Letterkenny 24/7 Triathlon Club member finished 20th at the Ironman UK in Bolton, a result that means he will now participate in the 2016 edition of the Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, which takes place in October.
[adrotate group=”60″]Today, Callaghan was the first home in the Danny McDaid 15k race in Letterkenny, in a time of 52 minutes and 44 seconds having broke free at Newmills.
Second place on the day went to Ciaran McGonagle of Rosses Athletic Club. He clocked 53 minutes and 18 seconds and Michael Black was third with 53 minutes and 58 seconds.
[adrotate group=”49″]The first woman home was Natasha Kelly, also of Letterkenny 24/7 Triathlon Club, in one hour, six minutes and 22 seconds.
