who is the fastest irish ironman?

thepassanger

this question has been on my mind for a few weeks now. does anyone here know who holds the fastest time for an ironman (irish nationality)? the race could have been anywhere in the world, i suppose the answer may lead to some lofty long term goals for people! :eek:

It was Liam Dolan last year in 9:03ish, dunno if he's been overtaken since? Has anyone gone sub 9?

He still held it after the major European races this summer.

9hrs 02mins 48sec to be exact.

I expect lots of people will beat this time though next year at the Ironman in Galway

Sub 9 should be on the cards this year the standard seems to be going up all the time.

wow, thanks for the replies, all i want to do in 2011 is do enough races in the national series. i dont want to misslead anyone into thinking im trying to be better than Liam Dolan.

Careful Passenger, Liam has been known to put the odd post up in here, you might be a marked man now

Tara Nolan for the women in 9.45h in IM Western Australia 2007.

This year was piss poor for results I think. One or two high 9:2x but that's it. A few people talking about it but no one close. It really should be 8:4x or something respectable. I think it will go sub nine in Austria or Roth next year.

Jason Statham is my favourite action hero ever. I like his serious attitude in every movies of his. He has unleashed body containing six packs.

Yeah, reckon he has a sub nine in him too.
