Racking my bike in transition at 5:30am on August 28th, I spot a lad with a Hardman hoodie from last year. “What’s this race like”, I ask. “It’s not as bad as Lanza”, he replies. “Lucky for me I’ve completed that twice”, I say. Rewind 2 years and a few months to May 2019 when […]
Teen Turbo It might have been a Friday night after a long week at school but we all rushed to get our turbos set up for the teen session. Dee had us in for one tough night (and we couldn’t even give out as she had us all on mute). By the end of the […]
Strap yourselves in folks, if you’re willing to read to the end, you’ve about 70.3 paragraphs ahead of you! “GO GO Pulse person”! I look at my wife, Michelle, and ask, “Did I just shout, ‘GO GO Pulse person’”? She confirms that I did and bursts out laughing. I laugh at the ridiculousness of it […]

Ironman Copenhagen – the one with the ferret! I wasn’t supposed to do Copenhagen. I had actually signed up for Cork when it was first announced. However after getting drenched at Barcelona last year I questioned whether I really wanted to risk an Ironman in Ireland! I pulled the plug on Ireland a few months […]
I decided to do a race report on Ironman Dun Laoghaire 70.3 after a few people in the club had asked me about the race preparation, training , nutrition and the race day itself. Before I get into the specifics of the race preparation,there is a couple of things I found invaluable over the last few […]
I love reading Pulser’s stories, race reports and all, it’s like a door to a different world but I never intended to be writing one myself. Yet here I am typing……for me it’s a story about how we evolve, influenced by people we meet and unexpected things that catch imagination. Sometimes it can take you […]
