Hell of the West is the reason I joined 3D Tri club.
In 2023, fuelled by hubris and sibling rivalry, I signed up for the Olympic distance triathlon on the west coast of Clare.
Read MoreAfter a good 2023 season, and hearing that the Worlds were taking place in Europe (Spain), I applied to compete for my age group. I heard back from TI in March 2024 that I was accepted as part of the Tri Team Ireland and I was over the moon!
Read MoreThe Mixed Relay Club Championships is a relatively new event on the TI calendar and on the World Triathlon schedule. So, when Ciara asked me to be on the team for the event at Cultra Castle last Sat I was delighted to be able to take part.
Read MoreSay what you will about a sprint race but they absolutely take it out of a new triathlete. This year’s race was held on June 1st, hard to follow the scorching weather of last year, this year a grey enough day, but warm.

Read MoreOn January 21st 2022, I set out to complete the Art O’Neill Challenge, an adventure that would bring me from Dublin Castle to Glenmalure in a little over 13 hours. It feels a bit wrong to call this a “race” report as I wasn’t really racing. For me, this was a personal challenge and an opportunity for adventure. Time and placing were irrelevant and hence, this report comes with a warning – there will unfortunately be very little stats, times or techy info!
Read MoreIt was sooooooo early. You always forget when you sign up for these things just how early you have to get out of bed. But it's always worth it....
Read MoreSo the road to Elsinore started with Caitríona signing up, and me being concerned with us losing our couple of the year status (especially after seeing Peter and Sues pics) I decided to sign up as well!! Alan also got on board so a crew was forming. I did 70.3 Weymouth last September (2021) with the Brethern, Kevin, Sean, Alan and Conor so luckily I had a sense of what was ahead of me…
Read MoreThere are good, bad and indifferent days. Sunday the 19th of September 2021 was one of the great days. You have to celebrate the great days. I was on the start line of Ironman 70.3 Weymouth. All the training, travel, sleepless nights, gear worry, thoughts of not finishing or getting a dreaded flat tire, the nervous days, hours and seconds were all about to go crashing into the sea…
Read MoreIt all started back in 2019 in our pre covid world. Couple of the 3D lads put the feelers out for doing Marbella 70.3 in March. A race in 70.3 in March? What better way to keep me honest over the winter months I thought to myself. I sold the idea to Audrey. We’d go there with the kids. I’d do the race on the Sunday and we’d extent our stay for a mid-term family holiday. She agreed, I was in. Race, flights, ShipMyBike, car rental, accommodation all booked, Here we go…
Read MoreSo, training hadn’t gone well. Like many others this was a double deferred event from 2020 and the timing wasn’t great. However, another roll-on into spring 2022 probably wouldn’t suit either, so it was a case of getting it done…
