Since the last update I am now an IRONMAN! I completed Ironman Frankfurt in July which was my first long distance race. I was extremely nervous the morning of the race, but as soon as I stepped into the water the nerves vanished and I got focused on the task at hand and literally took […]
I did few races this year. I started with try a tri in Athy that went well, then I did my very first half-Ironman distance in Meath in July(06:27:01). I found it tough as I had Gastroenteritis the week before the race and it cost me the run leg, suffered numerous episodes of cramping, few […]
Since my last update I raced 3 more National Series races. Hell of the West was the National Championship race for Olympic distance and also a Super Series race so a lot of great athletes were down in Kilkee for it, which is also the Pulse annual club race & a great weekend! The race […]

My main aim this year is to complete Ironman Frankfurt on 3rd of July and still be able to walk – might be asking too much here! Hopefully I will enjoy it. So far this year I completed a duathlon in the Park, the Gauntlet in Lough Cultra (the half distance race) and the Double […]
My Story – An Ironman First Timer 26th June 2016 “Here’s where we’re staying, so no turning back now”. That one line text from my good friend, Pulse member and multiple ironman, Shay Brady, was the trigger to one of the best adventures of my life. And so it began. The self-doubt, the online blogs, […]
My racing focus for 2016 is to come top 3 in the National Series, get some PB’s and to complete a sub 5 hour 70.3 distance. I’d like to come first in my age category overall (30-34) in the National Series, and possibly win the overall National Series (given most of the top girls are […]
