I had no real interest in Triathlon as I could barely swim a length of a pool but Joan didn\u2019t want to go by herself. I was hook from the first hour. I got great advice about which triathlons were best for weak swimmers, joined the clubs beginners swimming lessons and with in 5 months I completed the hell of the west triathlon which has a 1.5k swim. I was one of the last out of the water but I made it! Galway Triathlon Club are a fantastic source of advice and encouragement for everybody whether your competing for age group wins or, like I was just wanting to make it out of the water and finish.<\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gtc-b-image-only\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full gtc-b-source-photo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130419111615im_\/http:\/\/galwaytriathlonclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Joanne-Murphy-GTC-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Joanne Murphy GTC\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gtc-b-section-heading\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">PRO<\/span>\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph\">\n<strong class=\"gtc-b-strong\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">Name: <\/span>\n<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">Joanne Murphy<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph\">\n<strong class=\"gtc-b-strong\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">From:<\/span>\n<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\"> Cork<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph\">\n<strong class=\"gtc-b-strong\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">GTC member for:<\/span>\n<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\"> 1 year<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph\">\n<strong class=\"gtc-b-strong\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">Background:<\/span>\n<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\"> Have been an active sportsperson from a young age, played camogie, basketball, hockey in school. Soccer with UCC, and in the recent past played Tag Rugby and also played rugby with Galwegians Ladies RFC. I took up running in 2007 with the goal of completing the New York Marathon having never run more than 10k prior to training for New York I caught the running bug in a big way and loved the freedom of being able to run no matter where I am either home or abroad. I completed a relay in a Triathlon in 2009 doing the cycle and run section, my swimming was more of a doggie paddle at the time but I loved the race, the buzz and the fun of the event!From that point on I was hooked and in the past year with Galway Tri Club I have completed 6 Sprint Triathlons, 1 Olympic distance Triathlon, completed the GTC Arthur\u2019s Day swim ( 1.9k) participated in the Aquathon Series and 5K Run Series and also participated in Gaelforce in August. I also participated in the Connemara and Edinburgh Half Marathon\u2019s in 2010.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">Needless to say I love Triathlon, the 3 disciplines may seem daunting to start but the mix of training and activities with the club are great. The friends I have made at GTC have encouraged, advised and supported my first year in Triathlon and have helped to make the whole experience less daunting and really enjoyable especially the group training where the banter and craic is always mighty. I can highly recommend joining the Galway Triathlon Club whatever your level of ability in any of the disciplines you should most definitely give the sport a Tri.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph\">\n<strong class=\"gtc-b-strong\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">PRO Committee: <\/span>\n<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">Chris Burke, Eileen Sweeney &#038; Richie McCarthy.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph gtc-b-original-blank\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph gtc-b-original-blank\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gtc-b-heading-with-photo\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full gtc-b-source-photo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130419111615im_\/http:\/\/galwaytriathlonclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Fiona-Donovan-Photo-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Fiona Donovan Photo\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gtc-b-section-heading\">\n<strong class=\"gtc-b-strong\"><\/strong>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">Swim Coordinator<\/span>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph\">\n<strong class=\"gtc-b-strong\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">Name: <\/span>\n<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">Fiona O\u2019Donovan<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph\">\n<strong class=\"gtc-b-strong\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">From: <\/span>\n<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">New Ross, Co.

On a local level the club has expanded with coordinators for every discipline, training events, coaching and just more people to train with and learn from.

I\u2019ve played competitive soccer for NUI Galway for years and I\u2019ve also played Tag Rugby for something social. I enjoy team sports and I would say I\u2019m very competitive.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">However when I was younger I played\/participated in almost every sport going (Handball, Tennis, Hurling, Football, Golf, Swimming etc..) and I was average at everything, neither good nor bad. In fact I hated endurance sports particularly Cross Country running and preferred sports that required short runs\/explosiveness.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">Recently I found Tag\/Soccer to be a bad combination of sports to play as I was always picking up niggly injuries, although that could be down to age! Subsequently I took up cycling to help with general fitness and I was hooked! I looked farther afield to challenge myself and not one to jump on any bandwagon I jumped on the fastest growing participation sport in Ireland, Triathlons. My main goal in my debut year was the \u201cHell of the West\u201d Olympic distance triathlon in Kilkee. As the name suggest it\u2019s a toughie but a brilliant challenge. I also completed several sprint distance triathlons, long course Galway Aquathon, Galway 5k series, Galway Bay Half Marathon. I really enjoy the variety of training whether it be on my own or with club. The club is a fantastic supportive club and the members have a wealth of knowledge and experience. The events that run during the year are both fun and relevant. In 2012 I hope to complete a few more Olympic distance tri\u2019s (Hell of the West, TriAthlone, TriAthy, Spiddal are possible events) and the Ironman 70.3 in Galway will be my \u2018A\u2019 race.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph gtc-b-original-blank\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph\">\n<strong class=\"gtc-b-strong\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-inline-wrapper\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">Run Coordinator<\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gtc-b-paragraph\">\n<strong class=\"gtc-b-strong\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">Name:<\/span>\n<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\"> Cora Grimes<\/span>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">\n<\/span>\n\n\n\n<strong class=\"gtc-b-strong\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">From: <\/span>\n<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\"> Galway<\/span>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">\n<\/span>\n\n\n\n<strong class=\"gtc-b-strong\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">Years in Tri: <\/span>\n<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\"> Two<\/span>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">\n<\/span>\n\n\n\n<strong class=\"gtc-b-strong\">\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\">Background:<\/span>\n<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gtc-b-text\"> I had been running for a couple of years.
