During school and college I pretty
much split my time between
basketball and athletics.
Unfortunately, they are not sports
that compliment each other in any
way, so in the end I had to pick
one…. Needless to say, I haven't
played ball in a few years! I
ended up in triathlon because I
was going out with a guy who
coached our college triathlon club
swim sessions…. Would never
have been convinced to get up to
attempt an early morning swim
otherwise…
My proudest moment was climbing the steps of Blackrock in
Salthill after swimming across Galway Bay. Not quite a triathlon
moment but similar enough!
My most embarrassing moment was at the Crooked Lake
Triathlon 2010. I literally ran straight into a Newry triathlete in
transition and totally floored him. He flew back a few metres and
had a spectacular fall in front of a big crowd which surrounded
the small transition… We were both to blame but he was badly
injured, so much so he couldn't continue, and I was mortified…
Poor guy...
