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.
The Sally Gap Versus The Stelvio
August 30, 2010
It took me 3 attempts to find the ‘Sally Gap’- I left without asking anyone or looking at a map each time - the first time I ended up in Malahide …. don’t ask !
I planned a trip to the ‘Stelvio’ on the plane to Zurich. I checked and double checked the map before we left as it wouldn’t have been cricket to bring the Irish Team on a 3 day wild goose chase.
Sally Gap: It was a beautiful ride, maybe not epic but it was a LOOP
It was Epic, we did have the best pizza in all the land at the top, we did ride from Switzerland into Italy, I will always remember it . . . .
BUT IT WAS NOT A LOOP and I probably did need the support car.
Sally Gap wins !
