    Inaugural IRONMAN 70.3 Dublin is right around the corner. On Sunday we will have a great first edition of a huge race in a city of sports. Dublin has a great sporting heritage through Irish sports of Hurling and Gaelic Football who stage their annual championships at Croke Park, along with one of the top European rugby teams, international running events and recently hosted a stage of the Giro d’Italia. IRONMAN will add to this sporting pedigree and combine both the best athletes in the world with newcomers to the sport, who will be racing the clock to ensure they finish within the 8 hours 30 minute time limit.
