Podcast#44 Finbar McGrady Four Years in Sport and Manages a 16min 5k & 34min 10k in the Triathlon European Championships

At the age 38 Finbar buys a bike to get to work, starts a little swimming and the odd run, two years later in 2014 he enters Try a Tri and rapidly progresses through the sport of Triathlon by not only qualifying for the ETU triathlon European championships in 2016 he managed to win silver in the sprint with a phenomenal 5k time of 16:45, and 4th in the Olympic distance with a 10k time of 34:35 only 2 days later.

 

Finbar truly is an amazing athlete only running around 30km a week along with his run, bike, and conditioning training to produce results that I could on dream of.

 

We didn’t talk about his local podiums but he first came on to my radar when he won the Dublin Triathlon in Sept 18 one of many amazing triumphs with a field of over 600 triathletes.
