UCD TT success guest reported by Ian Richardson

The UCD team were out in force with 2 top 10 placings and taking 4 of the top 5 SL spots, at the second of the Inter Club league 10mile TT. 5 riders were competing with Niall, Gavin, Rob, Eoin and Ian. The Batterstown course is slow with a sequence of drags in both Cullmullin and Woodtown and two right hand turns in both Curraghtown and Jenkinstown.

The UCD team were sent off one after the other with Niall Dwyer and Ian Richardson acting as "carrots" for the Team favourite Gavin Haberlin to chase down. Gavin caught both Ian and Niall half way through the course, at the top of the Climb in Woodtown, but was suddenly hampered by leg cramps, causing his blistering pace at the start of the course to decrease. Despite this Gavin managed to come 4th overall and 1st in SL.
Rob Manning put in a monster effort knocking off 3mins from his pb and throwing up twice during the course, a sign of how hard this man can push himself. The last of the UCD limit riders Eoin "mountain goat" Fitzpatrick rounded off the team and came 1st in the Limit group.
The Team looks set to be a fierce competitor at the Interclub Team Time Trial in August.
The Results for the UCD riders are as follows

4 Gavin Haberlin UCD 23'32 1st SL
8 Ian Richardson UCD 24'57 2nd SL
12 Rob Manning UCD 25'11 3rd SL

18 Niall Dwyer UCD 25'59 5th SL
24 Eoin Fitz UCD 26'33 1st L
