Bio
Emily Doyle was only 16 years old when she competed in her first Iron Series race. Just one year earlier she donned the green and gold togs with the Australian Youth Life Saving Team. Now living on the Gold Coast, the Manly Nipper was crowned the QLD State Ironwoman champion in 2023, and has earned qualification in to the Shaw and Partners Iron Series after her most successful professional season yet, finishing 3rd overall in 2025/26. When she is not training and competing, she works at BMD Northcliffe SLSC, in Sports Administration, and is studying primary education with goals to one day travel the country and teach in remote areas.
Emily, which race format is your favourite?
I have learnt to love all formats, to be consistent I think you need to enjoy each round equally as they come. I will be biased and say I enjoyed the Super Sprint last year at Miami, that was my favourite day of racing so far in my career.
What is your best training hack?
Make sure that I am fuelled for the session and to have small goals to work towards within the session.
What is the best piece of advice that you have ever been given?
Small daily victories, performed with disciplined consistency over extended periods of time, lead to revolutionary results.
What is your top Iron Series memory?
Standing on the podium for the first time ever in my Ironwoman career, it took 8 years to crack the podium and to do it in front of my family meant the world. It also helped me start to believe in myself and I finished 3rd overall last year and that is what I am most proud of – that I finally started to believe.
