Irish Triathlon Champions & Record Holders 1986 -2009

At the end of the decade it’s time to update the Irish Triathlon records.  We’re starting a review of the Naughties.  Following this article, we’ll have a series of interviews with Irish Triathlon Champions and record holders who’ve influenced the sport over the last decade.

These records were originally created and maintained by Eoin O’Connell of Cork Triathlon Club, up to 2003.  I then updated them in 2007 & 2009.  Please email info@irishtriathlon.com with any queries and further info.
