Posted on behalf of Patricia O'Brien

Well Saturday morning 14th August 2010 started early at the time of 5.45 with several alarm clocks going off. Oh the temptation to press snooze was very strong. No I totally bounced out of the bed, bright and breezy rearing for road to race this triathlon somewhere in Mullingar, near it or somewhere yonder. Yea I am lying about the bright and breezy-was like a bear questioning –why the hell I do this to myself.

Ironman UK 2010

Date: 
August 1, 2010

Race day morning I was up at 3am to be ready for race start at 6am. My primary goal for the previous 8 weeks had been to get to the start line. Once there I knew I had the work done to get to the finish but deep down I knew it would be a long day.

I really enjoyed the swim and paced myself by drafting off others feet for most of it. This was a calm lake and the course was a simple 2 lap affair. I was delighted to be out of the water in 1hr 11mins and feeling good. For me this was a good swim and a big confidence boost ahead of the cycle.

Brian Boru Tri Challenge 2010

Date: 
August 7, 2010

Killaloe was the venue for the second year of the Brian Boru Tri Challenge, which was once again organised in aid of local charities. The weather held off well and the day turned out to be perfect conditions for what is a very tough triathlon.

Etape Cycling

We are going to cycle a section of the Etape route this coming Saturday-tomorrow. Our aim is to cycle from Lehinch to Ballyvaughan and back. Depending on conditions etc we can review it at Black Head on the day. We will leave Lehinch at 9:45am.Some of the over achievers are talking about Spanish Point but that has yet to be debated!! So for everyone who is interested please try to be there early! Remember to bring puncture repair gear and plenty of food/drinks.

Any questions drop me a line or give me a call.

Yours in cycling pain,

Mark

Galway (Carna) Triathlon 2010

The Real Hell of the West!!!

Who know on the 2 hour drive to Carna that Saturday was going to be one of the toughest days in the 2010 Triathlon. All the athletes didn’t know, the race organisers didn’t know. I didn’t know because if I did I would have seriously not got up at 6am to drive up there.
