Day 1 of the FISEC Games in Budapest saw the athletes compete in more acceptable conditions than the 31° in yesterday's training session.
It was a cloudy 24° when Saoirse Ballesty Byrne took to the track in her heat of the 100m and the Naas girl ran a scorching new pb to finish second behind team mate Rachel Afori.
And two hours later she was back on track winning her heat of the 200m. As a precaution then she withdrew from the 4x100m relay team, 3 races in 3 hours was a bit much to ask.
Associate Rachel Beatty went one better in the 100m, winning her heat to join Saoirse in tomorrow's semis.
Not in the 200m Rachel took her place in the relay squad and they duly won their heat and now move to Friday's final.
Tomorrow then will see the ladies line up in the semi finals of the 100m - and if they get through that will have the final and hour later.
Saoirse will then have an hours rest before the 200m semis - 5 races in 2 days is some ask.
Still both ladies are in fine form and confident they can do well.
