3rd Win in a Row for Yeoman

‘Wow, didn’t expect to end the season like this. This morning was my final race of a long season. The Thorpe Park Sprint is a cracking race which sees the run go through Thorpe Park – something not many races can boast about.
Three waves this morning. Under 40men. Over 40men & finally woman & relays. Having something to chase on the bike & run suits me. I looked to get away from a very competitive wave and hunt down those in front. Setting the fastest swim split put me right up there from the gun.
Heading oyeoman2ut onto road I wanted to ride within myself so I kept the pressing the peddles and by the fiyeoman3rst turn I was actually 25th overall (all from the wave 10mins ahead). By I time I got to the far turn point I was around 12th then finally coming back into T2 I could see the leader running out and about five other guys close behind. Setting the fastest bike split meant all I had to do was not get caught by anyone from my wave.
As soon as I started running I felt strong & relaxed which gave me so much confidence that I could run through them. On the second lap I had moved into 4th with the three guys in front from wave 1 only about 50m ahead. Sub 18min 5k to end the season and my another overall win making it 3 in a row.
Choosing not to head to Mexico for the World Championships was a hard tough decision as I’m not good in 40degrees of heat. But it turned out to be a strong finish for me. This season was  17 races long: 5 overall wins, two 2nd, two 3rd, a 4th, couple of 5ths and a 6th Two DNFS and one race I want to forget in 50th. So it couldn’t have been even better on the whole. Here’s to 2017′

About Kate Wallace

I've always been involved with sport of some description, particularly adrenaline sports (skiing, boarding, kite-surfing, bungi jumps, parachute jumps, mountain biking) and endurance events (7 marathons, lots of halfs, Caledonian Challenge, London to Brighton bike ride, Moonwalk, played/coached rugby), but I'm relatively new to triathlon as it's actually taken the place of other sports after a couple of bad accidents! Although looking at the biographies of all you other Viceroys I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that all I've done are a few team traitahlons (running or cycling leg) and a couple of super sprints and sprints on my own, I'm hoping that being a Viceroy might persuade me that swimming in open water over 400m is actually possible.
