Our annual training weekend to Nenagh will take place from the 15th – 17th of November. This weekend is open to members of all levels and we are hoping to get our usual numbers of 26 – 30 people. It is a jam packed fun weekend and this year Pulse is in a position to […]
I was awake and up before the 7am alarm clock, nerves and excitement, like Christmas morning, at least there was no mass! The view from the window was ominous, the lovely mountain at the back of the house was now shrouded in a mist that made seeing the end of the garden difficult and there […]
The club has arranged for a nutrition talk to be given by Beth McCluskey on Monday 11th November in IT Tallaght from 7:30pm – 9:00pm. This talk is free of charge and open to all club members. They say nutrition is the fourth discipline of triathlon so no doubt there will be much valuable information […]

You get points for each race depending on your result and your best 5 races culminate in your overall score. Although the format […]

My first four years were ‘conventional’ seasons inspecting the potholes of tri courses across Ireland. Then the […]
I ran Paris marathon last year (2012). I’d been injured for the 6 weeks leading up to the race. Intensive physio, regular chiropractic, and numerous icing sessions got me to the start line- I knew the calf was good to go, but was I? Would I be tough enough mentally to keep going? Morning of […]
JK’s Austrian Ironman Adventure I know I have been beaten by Miriam and Alex in producing a report about IM Austria but here’s my story……and I have no doubt that this will not be the last time I will be beaten by either fellow Pulser again. Synopsis I was surprised by how much crap I […]
