Hell of the West 2011 – An Average Athlete Point of View
By admin
Albert from Gnarly Adventure headed down to Kilkee in June 2011 to compete in the Kilkee “Hell of the West” Triathlon, part of the Triathlon Ireland National Series. The event is in its 27th year and is run by Limerick Triathlon Club. On the day Albert donned the Boru Tri Club colours and got stuck into a turbulent 1500m swim, wet & windy 45km bike and challenging (yet scenic) 10km run. He captured the whole event using two GoPro HD cameras mounted on his head for the swim, handlebars for the bike and held in hand for the run. It was his first time competing in Hell of the West and he loved every second of it!! Mike Yelverton (Planet-Tri) won this year’s men’s event, with the women’s event being won by Aoife Lynch (Base2Race). We hope you enjoy the footage. You might just spot yourself in there somewhere. We’ll be back next year to capture all the action again from even more interesting angles!
