Wendy and Jodi O'Leary with Gerry Duffy at the launch of his second book Tick, Tock, Ten in the Greville Arms last Thursday night.

Gerry's Tick, Tock, Ten number 2 on Bestsellers list!

Gerry Duffy's latest book Tick, Tock, Ten has reached number 2 on the Irish Bestsellers List.

The Mullingar man launched the book, which is labelled as a blood, sweat and tears account of his 2011 Deca Ironman challenge, in the Greville Arms last Thursday night.

It is a follow up to Who Dares Runs, which chronicles his 32 marathon challenge in 32 days.

Editor of Irish Runner magazine Frank Greally launched it.

On the night Gerry said he felt lucky never to have faced a challenge in his life:

“I feel these are not challenges, they’re ambitions and goals, and what I tap into is the fact that I’ve never had to deal with a particular challenge ever in my life, I’ve dealt with ambitions and I’ve dealt with goals and as long as I remember that I’ll always be able to have a positive mindset.
