Decided to do my first triathlon in 2005 having tried two marathons and finding I didn't particularly enjoy them. Signed up to do the Chicago Triathlon in aid of the Children's Hospital in Crumlin in 2005. After this as well as a few sprint distance races and duathlons I was hooked. Joined Piranha in Jan 06 and did two full season in 06 and 07. Doing marathon in Barcelon in March 08. Kilkee and Kenmare will be the key races this year.

The Windy City (Chicago) sparked my interest in triathlon. I joined Piranha after the Westwood Triathlon in 2003 and was mowed down by a (don't laugh!) tractor soon after but returned to race for the 2004 and 2005 seasons. Goals for 2006 are to break 2:30 for an olympic distance and chase down my age group rivals!

I took up triathlon training in 2006 with full intentions of giving it up after 2 weeks and keeping the hoodie. I'm still trying to quit. There is no escape.
