Team Geared Up

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) I’m late getting to this one but you know how it is sometimes when life gets in the way of blogging? It wasn’t until Eoin Ryan joined us on one of our Wednesday Night Runs that I heard about this one. As if doing an ironman isn’t considered by many to be a crazy enough challenge, what about doing one at the top of Grafton Street? Yeah, that’s 3.8k swim in a swimgym pool, 180k cycle on a turbo trainer and finally a marathon on a treadmill! All in 11 hours and 44 minutes.

(There are 5 or so toilet stops mixed in there somewhere. I should have got a portaloo – especially since the toilet was up two flights of staires!!)

Ouch! But it was all in aid of the People In Need Telethon Day on October 26th. His CV boasts heaps of charity cycles, numerous Dublin marathons and Ironman Austria! Big kudos there…..So what does someone like Eoin do next?
From his blog:

That’s a wrap on what has been a hell of an experience. Everyone keeps asking me ‘what next?’ I have an idea that I’m looking at. Just like this one I won’t be revealing it until I’ve got some level of certainty that it will be a runner….Till then.
Adios amigos
