Gavin Noble
I am a fulltime Irishman and professional triathlete competing on the ITU Circuit. I was born in Ireland in 1981, I am 1 of 5 Noble children and at 6ft 1 inches tall if my legs were any shorter they would not touch the ground.
I grew up with dirty hands and with food split down my shirt. At one stage my dream was to be 'Murdoch' from the televison series The A-team. My dreams changed in my teenage years when 'Baywatch' began broadcasting on Irish televison and have since changed to competing with and beating the best triathletes on the planet.
I swam competitively when I was younger, played soccer, rugby and any other sport that got me out of school lessons. I found and fell in love with triathlon in high school and have competed professionally since I left University with a degree in Sports Marketing.
Currently I race draft legal ITU races on a S-works Tarmac SL2 but one day I will rock up to transition on a Specialized Fatboy Chopper.
a quick update as we approach July
June 22, 2010a quick update as we approach July . . . and supposidly the heights of summer (I am in switzerland at the moment and it was 4 degrees this morning !)
Before arriving to the Swiss mountains I raced in the Nokia Windsor Triathlon - after puncturing in Madrid World Championship Series I needed a race before Athlone European Champs and so I was able to get a late entry to Windsor - it worked out well as I was having to spend a night in London anyway on route to Switzerland. In the end I finished 3rd - although on the podium I will be honest and say I still have work to do.
A short report and my usual poor banter http://gavinnoble.com/nokia-windsor-triathlon-2010/
European Champs in Athlone is 2 weeks today and Lucozade Sport will once again have a billboard advertising campaign - which will look something like the attached photo but not yet 100% confirmed - I am excited once again to be heading back to Athlone with their backing as well as yours
Thanking you for your support
