Aisling Wyer is an Irish triathlete and member of Naas Triathlon Club who has achieved impressive results at home and abroad all whilst working full time as a solicitor.
She came to the sport relatively late, inspired by her mother Nora, with a background in horse riding and Tetrathlon. She most definitely wasn’t a runner, was moved to tears on her first cycling outing along the Waterford Greenway and openly admits she has spent most of her triathlon career battling self-belief as much as she has battled race courses.
And yet, Aisling Wyer has quietly become one of the most competitive Irish age group athletes. She is a two time National Sprint Champion and has won multiple races in Ireland including Tri Tyrone 70.3, Skerries Sprint, Camlough Sprint and Naas Duathlon in 2024. On the international stage she won IRONMAN 70.3 Emilia-Romagna in 2024, qualifying for her first IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.
In 2025 she raced 11 times across five countries, finishing on the podium nine times, she was third overall female in the Triathlon Ireland National Series, rounding out her season with a 4th place in her Age Groups at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Marbella. Her most recent success came last month when she crossed the finish line as the fastest female overall at IRONMAN 70.3 Mallorca, solidifying her position as a talented triathlete on the rise. Now she is setting her sights on the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Nice, France, with the aim of going one better in the results than Marbella.
In this conversation we hear about her journey from reluctant runner to two-time IRONMAN 70.3 Champion, the role her mother has played every step of the way, how she manages training, injury and a demanding career without losing her love for the sport, her experience as a guide in paratriathlon and the mindset she has built around consistency and learning to believe in herself.
Aisling is grounded and genuinely inspiring, not because of the results alone, but because of the attitude she brings to chasing them. This is a really lovely chat and one that will have you motivated to go out and chase your own sporting and personal goals, whatever they may be.
