Ironman Barcelona 2015 – Gillian Rutledge
The idea and awareness of this thing called an IRONMAN kicked off at the end of 2012 just after I finished my first (and still only) marathon. Having gone from not being able to run 5km to completing this iconic thing called a “marathon”, I thought I was invincible and could take on any challenge. […]
Killarney Hardman – Donagh McGrath
KILLARNEY HARDMAN (FULL IRON DISTANCE) Aug 22nd 2015 May 1st 2015 Thought: A full ironman with no training? – now there’s a challenge! An insane challenge, fair enough, but definitely a challenge. Let me explain. Firstly anyone that knows me, or has seen me at one of my sporadic appearances at the Wednesday night track […]

Ironman Barcelona – Keith Murphy

Ironman Copenhagen – Chris Donohue
It was always going to be about the run Before I launch into this babble of epic proportions, there is just a group of people I want and need to thank. First of all, it’s my very patient girlfriend, Nicole who more or less went without seeing me for the 8 months of training. Even […]
