Last year new Viceroy Scott Forsyth started swimming at the Excel centre, Walton on Thames: ‘I kept seeing pink swim caps and thought it was time to get more in touch with my feminine side. There was one pink swim hat that moved faster than all the rest (Mr Yeoman). I started talking to the fast pink hat. I liked what he said and he became my triathlon coach (He must be doing something right if he wins the Windsor triathlon!). It was only a matter of time before joined the Viceroys, to allow me to wear pink with pride. 
Many years ago I started as a distance runner, mainly 10km and half marathons. As my body got old I found that it no longer wanted to run for 60 miles a week and I decided that I needed to find a different sport which wouldn’t pummel my body quite so much. Triathlon seemed to fit the bill decreasing my running by one third but introducing the two mysterious new sports of swimming and cycling. I started my triathlon training about 7 years ago. Not surprisingly, running is the discipline that I enjoy most, cycling is the discipline that I endure and swimming is the way that I get to the start of the bike and is still shrouded in mystery, but at least once I get out of the water, I’m usually passing people all the way to the finish line.
I compete in both sprint and Olympic distance triathlons. My career highlight so far, was competing for the GBR 45-50 age group team at the Triathlon world championships in Hyde Park last year (see the picture). This year I’m signed up for the Eton super sprints and the Windsor Olympic distance triathlon.
Joining the Viceroys will allow me to: keep motivated through training with others, socialise with other triathlon bores,learn from others triathlon experience, share some of my triathlon experiences with others.’
WHAT DO YOU MEAN TRIATHLON BORES?! Looking forward to talking and training with you Scott.
I’m looking forward to meeting you all and brining those times down.
