Emma O’Brien and David Higgins win the 2025 Triathlon National Series

The women’s series came down to the wire – with one round to go there was less than one point separating 2024 Triathlon National Series winner Becky Woods and challenger Emma O’Brien. A solid win at the final round in Pulse Port Beach increased Emma’s score and secured the series with a tally of 920.92.

After spending some time in Australia, O’Brien’s 2025 season started in Athy where she took her first win. Success followed at Tribesman Triathlon, her home race at Base2Race Harbourman, Two Provinces and Pulse Port Beach. Emma also secured a silver medal at the Standard National Champs at Top of the Mourne, in a race won by Hollie Elliott.

On her win, Wicklow TC’s Emma said:

“I’ve really enjoyed the racing this year – each event brought a unique course and such a great atmosphere.”

“A huge thanks to all the local clubs and volunteers for organising the events. So much work goes on behind the scenes to make it all possible, and it’s hugely appreciated!”

Becky Woods won the series in 2024 and is always one to watch. Piranha TC member Woods finished her series with a win at Jailbreak in Cobh and has now turned her attention to defending her AG 70.3 World Title in Marbella. Racing across standard distance earned Becky her most valuable points hauls of the series, with TriAthy her highest points at 917.44. Becky Woods takes second spot overall in the 2025 series on a total of 913.4.

Aisling Wyer from Naas TC finishes in bronze on 883.55 after a solid season which included a win in the first race of the series at Clonmel and an impressive six podium finishes across the summer.
