Gerry Duffy is put in the Sporting Spotlight to look at his sporting life and times. From a starting point of being five stone over weight, he started to run and eventually started to partake in triathlons and marathons.

He progressed to a point where he decided to complete a 32 Marathon Challenge in all 32 Irish counties across 32 consecutive days, and with Ken Whitelaw he completed this goal in 2010. His next target was to complete 10 Iron distance triathlons in ten consecutive days in 2011, once again this was done, with Gerry finishing first out of the entrants in the event.

He has chronicled his progress in that event in his second book 'Tick, Tock, Ten' which will no doubt scale the best seller lists just like his first book 'Who Dares, Runs' about his 32 Marathon endeavours.
