Mayo man wished well in Ironman Wales challenge

Charlestown Sarsfields GAA Club has wished every success to its vice-chairman Michael Doherty, who is taking part in Ironman Wales 2022 this weekend.

The event, a 2.4 mile (3.8 km) swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 km) cycle, culminating in a 26.2 mile (42.2 km) marathon run, is being held tomorrow in Pembrokeshire.

In a Facebook post, the club stated: "To say ‘Doc’ has been training hard over the last few months is an understatement, events of this nature require nothing less, he really does serve as an inspiration to young and old in our community. It is no mean feat."
