I have to get everything done in 24 hrs.” “Everything in my life is all about efficiency. She speaks to companies, day in and day out, about how they can become more efficient, something, she says, that overlaps in an interesting way with her triathlete training: Murphy works at Dropbox in mid-market sales, selling Dropbox for Business, Dropbox’s enterprise solution. “It’s just been this incredible year – an incredibly tough year, trying to manage work and supporting what I’ve been doing, but so fulfilling as well because I think they’ve complemented each other very well,” she says. After the race, Kevin Thornton – a professional triathlete, and a personal friend of Murphy’s – encouraged her to get in touch with Éanna McGrath of Base2Race and make the transition to triathlons.Īfter speaking to McGrath – who now coaches her – Murphy decided to take the leap.įrom there, her involvement in triathlons has been a baptism of fire, with everything starting suddenly and happening all at once.Ī gruelling training schedule – two hours of swim training every morning before work, at least two hours of biking or running in the evening, and weekends full of four-tofive-hour bike rides – and a full work day might have taken their toll, but Murphy contradicts that. In June of 2014, Murphy won a 5km race in Killiney, Dublin. She began training as an open-water swimmer and, in 2011, she completed a solo swim of the Channel.įrom there, and ticking two of the three boxes, it was almost inevitable that Murphy start competing in triathlons.

Running gave her a release and reminded her of her love of swimming. I would just jump into a marathon, train for a marathon,” says Murphy. “After retiring from swimming, and trying to concentrate on my career and education, I started to set a few goals for myself, in terms of trying to keep fit. Murphy started out more than 10 years ago as a swimmer, representing Ireland several times at an international level.Īfter enjoying great success globally, Murphy retired from the sport at the age of 24, choosing instead to focus on a burgeoning career. A rising star, actually, coming somewhat late to the sport.

Does she wish she wasn’t? Not for a second. Insanely, time-consumingly, exhaustingly busy.
