First off – I think everyone will agree with me on this one. I wish Karl Gohery a speedy and successful return to full health. Dude was lucky he wasn’t killed, turns out he’s not a pussy after all!! Karl is one of the nut-job characters in this club, of which we have many!! I’ve […]
I was awake and up before the 7am alarm clock, nerves and excitement, like Christmas morning, at least there was no mass! The view from the window was ominous, the lovely mountain at the back of the house was now shrouded in a mist that made seeing the end of the garden difficult and there […]
My experience at the Triathlon Age Group World Championships I really enjoy racing in Ireland in national series (NS) races. You can compete against your peers and score points for your club. You get points for each race depending on your result and your best 5 races culminate in your overall score. Although the format […]
The Lost Sheep Half Ironman, 8th September 2013 This race broke me last year. I had a slight running injury going into it. I thought it would be ok. It wasn’t. A half marathon is a long way to go when you start walking after 5km. I was quite emotional crossing the line last year […]

My first four years were ‘conventional’ seasons inspecting the potholes of tri courses across Ireland. Then the […]
I ran Paris marathon last year (2012). I’d been injured for the 6 weeks leading up to the race. Intensive physio, regular chiropractic, and numerous icing sessions got me to the start line- I knew the calf was good to go, but was I? Would I be tough enough mentally to keep going? Morning of […]
JK’s Austrian Ironman Adventure I know I have been beaten by Miriam and Alex in producing a report about IM Austria but here’s my story……and I have no doubt that this will not be the last time I will be beaten by either fellow Pulser again. Synopsis I was surprised by how much crap I […]
First of all, and before i forget, I just want to say that an Ironman is within everyone’s capabilities! The only thing that will stop you is yourself. Right, enough of that……..I had never planned on doing an IM and always thought that it was for total head cases. I started Triathlon in 2011 and […]
