Joyce Wolfe from Cork sets new Irish Triathlon record...

It's not too often I venture into the the world of Triathlons here on the blog but this is a truly remarkable performance. Last Sunday the 3rd of July, Joyce Wolfe from Cork set a new Irish record in the Ironman Austria 2011 Triathlon. This was a full distance triathlon consisting of a 3.8 km swim, a 180 km bike ride and a full 42.2 km Marathon to finish.
Joyce completed the course in a time of 9 hours 15 mins, taking a full 30 minutes off the previous Irish record. This breaks down as follows.......58 mins for the 3.8 km swim, 5 hours 3 mins for the 180 km bike ride and then 3 hours 7 minutes for the final full Marathon.
