Well done Aisling - what an outstanding performance. I can’t wait to read your blog on this.

just another note to reiterate just how good these results are!
Ais was just outside
Top 25% in her AG
Top 40% in the Female Class
Top 50% Overall

….for a girl who start swimming and cycling at the beginning of the year and up against seasoned triathletes….
Is she bionic or what! ;)

Great stuff Aisling, you’re an inspiration! Keep up the good work (after a well earned break I assume).

Thanks you lot! I’m chuffed with all your comments. It was a great day, I was a bit cold on the swim, a bit bored on the bike and had a giant grin on my face for the entire run. Loved every minute of it! How’s that for a short race report!!

Well done Aisling! A huge effort and a fantastic result! Tony.

I suspect this will not be the last that Ironman will see of this competitive spirit. Do you think she will settle for top 40% for her gender? Come on! Look out Kona! Aisling’s probably got you in your sights!
