“Ironman distance triathlons are a true test of oneself as a whole. Each race is a test of physical, mental and spiritual toughness that I haven't found in any other type of racing. At the end of the day, challenging myself on all levels is what it's about for me.”
-- Timothy O'Donnell -
“When it hurts, you can't think of the entire picture. If you break it down to the moment, it becomes manageable.”

“My favorite piece of tech gear is my SRM power meter. It's the most accurate power meter on the market.”
