Congratulations to everyone who took part in Irelands first Ironman event. There are days when you earn your stripes and Sunday 4th September was one of them. With very windy conditions the organisers were forced to shorten the swim and in the end most people were very happy they did so. The water was very choppy and with a strong wind coming in off the sea it made for a difficult start to the race. The wind helped competitors on the out-leg of the bike course to Maam Cross in Connemara. The return leg was a different story with strong winds and rain to contend with.

Hi
If any one fancies it, I will be going for a run each Monday after swim training. The run will be steady and usually lasts between 40mins - 1hr 15.
Feel free to join me.
