Abbeylara’s Fiona Gallagher, the 2020 Asia Pacific female AquaBike amateur champion, was in sparkling form once again recently when she finished first in her age group and was the 4th amateur female overall at the Ironman New Zealand.
It was Fiona’s first full Ironman race and it was initially planned to take place in Taupo on Saturday, March 6, however, it was postponed by three weeks because of a community Covid-19 case.
