My five year journey to awesomeness…. Fat Girl to Ironman. Ironman Dublin 70.3 – The Bike. I grabbed my bike as quickly as possible, attached my Garmin and ran towards the mount line. I was surprised to see that almost everyone else was holding onto their handlebars or bars and saddle – I may not be quick, but at least funny and pushing my bike whilst holding onto the saddle is something that I can do! That’s me in the background Action Photography. Starting to tackle the hill Action Photography. I was s...

Swimming | Fat Girl to Ironman
https://fatgirltoironman.co.uk/swimming
My five year journey to awesomeness…. Fat Girl to Ironman. I’ve always known that swiming would be the hardest part of the Ironman challenge for me… I didn’t have the confidence to do a sprint triathlon until September 2013 because my swimming was so weak. I’d also never done any open water swimming until 2013. The video below was recorded in November 2013 at an Embrace Sports triathlon camp – it shows just how bad my breathing was! I started open water swimming in May 2013 and found that I really enjoye...

My five year journey to awesomeness…. Fat Girl to Ironman. 1st July 2012 was the first time that I rode my bike for many years. It wasn’t even considered to be worth stealing! I didn’t feel the same way, so I packed it off to live with my in-laws for 4 years until we got a new shed. On 1st July I got the bike doctors at Skyride. To lube the chain and adjust the seat height and then I spent a fun day cycling around town and eating Thai food (it coincided with a Thai food festival). I did my first 50 mile ...

My five year journey to awesomeness…. Fat Girl to Ironman. I started running at the age of thirty for several reasons including:. Helping with my karate. I started out on a treadmill, but quickly realised that it’s much nicer to run outside (and I kept punching the treadmill and cutting open my knuckles, which is not a good look! In June 2013, I finally completed my 100th parkrun:. My lovely friends gave me a bouquet of flowers to celebrate this milestone. Throughout my journey so far, my husband (Stuart...

https://fatgirltoironman.co.uk/nutrition
My five year journey to awesomeness…. Fat Girl to Ironman. Nutrition is the hardest part of my journey for me. I have tried so many strategies, but sometimes I worry that I will never be slim. Some people may argue that I don’t have a weight problem now, but I still feel that I’m overweight and I’m definitely not of the same athletic build that most of my sport friends are. Last year, I wrote:. I need to work out how to balance my diet, because I’m:. Exercising for at least 2 hours every day. To try to a...

My five year journey to awesomeness…. Fat Girl to Ironman. Tag Archives: Dun Laoghaire. Ironman Dublin 70.3 – The swim. I gave the tyres of my bike a quick squeeze, decided they were OK and headed out of T1 to find the loos. Fortunately, the queue was very short, with only 2 people in front of me – unlike the queue for the loos in T1, where Steve was held up for a long time. I walked over to where most of the other women were waiting. Men had been divided into age groups, but as only 20% of the field...
