Audio – Gerard Callaghan on the Race Around Ireland: ‘It’s going to be relentless from the start’

written by Alan Foley August 28, 2015

GERARD CALLAGHAN and his friend Mickey Russell will take part in the Race Around Ireland, which starts on Sunday.

It’s a five-and-a-half day 2,100km event will be undertaken in relay format, non-stop, and is beginning at Trim, Co Meath. Then, it’s basically anti-clockwise around the country.

“For us, it’s a personal challenge,” Callaghan said. “We’ve been cycling all our lives. It’s a test of endurance, tour mind and your mindset. The course in itself has been designed to wear you down. It’s going to be relentless from the start.”

Callaghan spoke to Charlie Collins this week …
