Andrew Tugwell was hijacked by Chairman Yeo during a swim session – Andrew joined us for a Tuesday night bike ride, challenged even the fast boys and has not looked back since.

Andrew’s first tri at Dorney reflects that although not a triathlete before this weekend, his sporting background (boxing, kickboxing, 5k,10k races encouraged by his dad who has always been a great runner)has certainly stood him in good stead. Thursday night runners will also testify to this newcomer’s fitness levels!

Andrew says: “If I hadn’t spoken to Mark that day none of this would of happened,so thanks.”

Trevor Hartley completed Wiggle 1/2 Olympic Triathlon Sunday 26th,at Dorney. After an awesome swim where he exited the water 5th, he had a tremendous bike, faster than last year which was the same 21k distance. Then it all went pear shaped!

Trevor fell off his bike at the stop line and his calf immediately seized up – thinking he was out of the race, he limped into transition only to find a near empty rack section, he was in 2nd place.

Trevor put on his running shoes  and went out on the run, probably having lost about 2-1/2 minutes but  he still finished 3rd in the 55+ age group – well done Trevor, those Thursday night Viceroys handicap runs obviously helped you struggle through the pain.
