The Shape I'm In - Deric Ó h’Artagáin

BROUGHT up on a farm in Inchmore, Co Limerick, the weather has always been a feature in Deric Ó h’Artagáin’s life.

“We would always be keeping an eye on the forecast, especially during the summer, to get the hay in on time to get the silage in on time before the heavy rain came,” says the TV3 weather forecaster.

He also has an enduring love of the great outdoors, with gruelling triathlons his sport of choice — in the past five years he has notched up more than 40 triathlons.
