How’s your winter training going SIMON TACK?

Simon Tack has unfortunately had a winter plagued by injury – after a meniscus tear in his left knee on the 13th October at the end of the first week of Base 1, sustained on a relaxing walking holiday, has now been restarting Base 1 in January with a new improved plan from ‘Mark the Merciless’: ‘Three months behind and somewhat tentative about how much my recovered joint can take there is a great deal of training needed to get Ironman ready.’

ISimonTswimronman ready???

Yes, Simon has Ironman and more booked for this year!  ‘My targets have now been revised to sub 14 (satisfied) for Ironman. Sub 13 hours (very happy) and sub 12 hours (in my dreams).Eton 10k swim – sub 3 hours 45. 70.3 – sub 7 hours.’

Good luck Simon, we look forward to an update.

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.
