Name – Emer Kilmartin 

 

Nickname – Twinkey

Age Group – 30-34

How long competing in races – 5 months

Favourite race – Pink and Gold Triathlon.  It was a well organised race, a great atmosphere with all the professional and personal touches one needs in a tri!  The entry fee was donated to Cancer Research

Best tri advice – When training on the track get off lane 8 as you are making the distance longer for yourself!

Do a ‘know your bike course’ and become self sufficient

Compete only against yourself

Highlights to date – Dublin City Half Marathon and I am training for the Inaugral Kinnitty  Half Marathon this month

A puncture at Portrunny Tri still resulted in a sprint finish – everything and anything is possible!

Being part of a club and joining the committee which caters for all levels of fitness for three different sports.  It is great motivation and fun even in those challenging moments!

 Anything else – If you are healthy enough to do it ‘just do it’ and you can raise some money for a charity of your choice.  Help yourself and someone else!

Remember there is a reason why Triathlon is the fastest growing sport in the world.....
