Eimear Mullan finishes 9th at Ironman Austria 70.3
Irish star Eimear Mullan has finished 9th at today’s Ironman Austria 70.3.
Her time of 4:33:29 was good enough to get her into the points and was almost exactly 10 minutes of the eventual winner Julia Gajer from Germany. Lucy Gossage and I had tipped her for a top 3, whilst the self depreciating Mullan joked (on Twitter) that she was expecting a win - her tongue in cheek in recognition of the tough opposition here.
I’ll be speaking to Eimear later this week about the race and how she did against this very competitive field.
