I never had a chance to go to the Hell of the West triathlon weekend away but the stories are legendary. Always on the look out for a bit of craic I headed off to Westport to see if we could bring back the spirit of the Pulse Away race weekend and I think Westport […]
Challenge Samorin – The Championship Challenge Samorin is the middle-distance Championship race for the Challenge race brand. It takes place in Slovakia every year and attracts a very strong field of both pro’s and age groupers from around the world. Age groupers must qualify for this race from another Challenge race in the previous 12 […]
Since starting triathlon’s I’ve always tried to get in a couple of the Phoenix Park Duathlons run by Belpark Tri Club every year. Usually on Wednesday evenings across the summer, this year followed a slightly different format and saw the first race was being held on a Saturday in April as it was part of […]
I was on holiday in France in 2017 and it just happened that Ironman Nice was on. I walked into the village and that was it, I wanted to do one. January 2018 I signed up for Barcelona. I attended a quiz night with Pulse, then that was it I was in. Most of my […]

I decided post IM Austria that I would race as much as possible, body permitting of course. I had felt good in Two Provinces, 2 weeks after Austria and was just shy of a PB for the 5km. I heard there were a few people heading to Belfast the following weekend and the course looked […]
I had originally planned to do IM Frankfurt this year as I’m in Frankfurt with work most weeks but a German public holiday spent in Frankfurt city centre last summer knocked that idea on the head and before I knew it there was a huge Pulse Austrian bandwagon that I jumped on. I travel a […]

Hi folks, Be gentle with me now, first race report and all that jazz . I started training for Lanza 3 weeks after the Dublin City Marathon, I had spoken to Ciat Joyce and Joanna Butler, both finishers there previously and although they seemed like friendly innocent conversations, I was gleaning every bit of information […]
