About Me

• Location: Ireland
• 1st Iron-Distance Triathlon?: Yes

Overview:

There are many things which you could devote a year of your life to and I’ve decided to invest the year between August 2009 and August 2010 to preparing myself to race in my first Iron-Distance Triathlon!!

I’ve officially signed up to ‘Challenge Copenhagen’ which is taking place in the captial of Denmark in August 2010.

My endurance background is pretty mediocre as after I finished school I allowed my fitness to take a back seat and instead ’enjoyed myself’ for a few years as anyone in their early 20′s would.

Recently I completed 2 Marathons, with times in the early 4 hour bracket and i’ve also completed 3 sprint triathlons, all of which with middle of the pack results . In 2008 I completed one Half-Ironman with back of the pack results – but that was due to a lack of training, a lesson which i’ll never forget!:o)

My goal is to hopefully arrived at the start line fit and healthy with a goal to cross the finish line between the 12:30 – 13:59 Hr bracket (although i’ll be happy just to finish!)

Either way, this is going to take ALOT of training!

I hope you enjoy the blog!
