Team Geared Up

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) Congrats to Tara! A new Irish Female Ironman record was set recently in Ironman Western Australia by Tara Nolan. Triathlon Ireland is planning on running a weekely Tara Diary in which she’ll share all her experiences including the event which allowed her to qualify for IM Hawaii to the big event itself next May. Her first instalment is here and if you don’t feel lazy now you will after reading snippets like this:

For the last 6 months:
I rise every weekday morning at 4am, at weekends it’s normally 3.30am. I am asleep by 8.00pm.
I ride to training, it’s 10-15km away across to the other side of the city.
I complete a 3 hour session before I walk through the doors of my work place.
I refuel within 20mins of finishing every session I complete.
After my ‘paying job’ day is over I have a 1 ½ hour evening session to complete
I go home, eat & shower and I go to bed.

Seriously an incredible read about the drive and ambition and sheer determination that it took for her to get where she is. Inspirational stuff!
