The PTVI category for women in Paris looks to be between Susana Rodriguez and Francesca Tarantello for the win. They have traded 1st and 2nd places for a year now and are consistently over 2 minutes ahead of the competition. Meanwhile its all eyes on Kelly Elmlinger in PTS4
Triathlon Ireland has entered 7 athletes in Elite European Cup race in Cork. Russell White and Elizabeth Carr head the list with Carr starting number 3 and White number 12.
There could be some real stars of the future in the Junior races in Cork. While the numbers are not great, likely due in part to the weekly dose of European Junior Cup races at the moment allied to superseries races and national champs elsewhere, the quality at the top looks impressive.
It is the most valuable single Olympic qualifying event for Triathlon Federations, particularly the smaller ones in the sport, and looks like being a thriller in Huatulco with the final outcome possibly not being known for another week as some teams still need to secure individual eligibility
The season opens for European Paratriathletes in Abu Dhabi with a World Cup event. With the Americas Continental Championship also on this weekend a lot can change in the chase for Paris qualification. With podiums at both events Irish athletes have competed in this year, Troutbeck and Havana, I am looking forward to that sequence continuing.
The end of another long World Triathlon season is in sight with the last of the long haul flights from Europe coming up this weekend.
Malaga Para World Cup provided further evidence of what we, as spectators, already knew, what we suspected and what we hoped might be there among the Triathlon Ireland Team.
A busy weekend of racing with European and World Titles for Elite, U23, Para, Age Group and Club athletes in France and Spain. The equivalent of the Champions League for Triathlon Clubs sees 4 teams of athletes from 3 Irish Clubs go to the start in Elite and Junior races.
Karlovy has been a good venue for Ireland's Russell White before. He lines up again in a field of 62 athletes on Sunday.
It will be interesting to see if there are any longer term repercussions of the French disqualification on Sunday in the Europe Triathlon relay championships.
Big weekend of racing in Hamburg, Long Beach and Swansea with Juniors, U23s, and senior Elites and Para athletes travelling the world with no time for sightseeing.
The sprint distance draft legal championships take place on Saturday in Athy with similar field size to last year. Racers make races and if the field size can stay consistent for a few years and maybe get back to the numbers seen in Lanesboro a few years ago the competition level will continue to grow and maybe we will see more draft legal racing again.
Strong Irish team head to Morocco with James Edgar ranked 5 in the M'Diq Africa Triathlon Cup. Olympian Russell White, Luke Mccarron and Jonathan Oakey complete the team.

Racing on 3 continents, sort of, for Irish athletes on the World Triathlon circuit.
