VICEROYS TAKE ON THE WORLDs – PROFILE#4 Richard Jones

richardjonesworldsRichard Jones – Too Old for Football, but Not for a Second Year on Team GB?!
I have done a fair bit of Triathlon over last 5-years after getting to old to kick a football – mainly Ironman & half Iron. Becoming a Daddy to Wilf 2 years ago led me to change my focus and have a dabble at Sprint Distance (flexibility to do shorter training sessions). Had no idea if I’d be any good and was lucky enough to land a World Champ qualification last year for Edmonton. Had to go back for more this year!! Incredible experience.
Training since qualifying? More focus on bike to run bricks AND making sure I recover properly…so important as we get older 😉 (40-44 AG)
Any tips for wannabes? When it hurts on that final 1k of the run, push a bit more.
