Chasing 5 Hours
2012 was my first year in triathlon and I learnt a lot very fast about the sport. It's taken a few years for me to get the time to compete in this sport but now I'm completely hooked! When I joined ETC I had very little biking and swimming done. I had done some half and one full marathon with my own way of training! Last years main goal was the Galway Ironman 70.3 in September. I was happy with the result of 5hrs 24mins. Also very happy to get...
Doubt, Disappointment & Delight
April/May 13
The 6 weeks between the National Duathlon and the National Middle Distance Champs was a testing time for me, both physically and mentally. I had spoken with Eamonn and Pat and the aims were clear. We were going to have to work through races if we aim to peak in the middle to end of the summer. When you chat about these things its clear the reasons why we need to do this, but...
Results are in for the first TT. The route was from the crossroads in Barefield, at line where road surface changes, to the roundabout in Crusheen and back. I make it 13.4K but if anyone got something different from their GPS please let me know.
Weather was dry and cool with a stiff 20km/h breeze from the WSW. Conditions were not optimal and some people even reckoned there was a headwind both out and back!

First Triathlon for Becky...and is first Woman home in the sprint!!
Beckys First Tri!

Before I knew it, it was race day, I set off with plenty of time to spare; I was unsure where I was going and my sense of direction...
Paddy Quinn 2013 so far………………….Till April anyway!!
2012 ended bitter sweet, with a dream race in DCT, 5th over all and then down to Kenmare to realise “uh oh, what’s up? why am I not flying it like 2 weeks ago”. So I left Kenmare in a hurry, to start my end of season feast on Beer, Pizza, Pic & Mix. Did I enjoy it you ask?? By hell did I enjoy it.. 7lbs up in 2 weeks. Ya that’s pretty much it 2 weeks off total training and 4 weeks off formal...
