Athlete Profile: Hugh Byrne

New to triathlon, but not hard training. Coming from a swimming background, Hugh has this leg covered and is revelling in the challenge and the variety that triathlon brings. Self confessed in not being able to live without his phone or his garmin, and addicted to the feeling of crossing the finishing line, it’s safe to safe Byrna is well and truly hooked on tri’s!
