Viceroys are quite a close bunch and this race was no different, Andy was standing in for Simon Tack and Colin and Andy found staying away from each other difficult in this mid week tri (nice pic of them exiting the water together). Colin Hinsley and Andy Tugwell headed to Dorney, Andy tells their story:
‘What a nice evening to race,hardly any wind and perfect temperature. As like many others I was away until Saturday morning, I was not really prepped for the Sunday race (Thorpe 4 / Club Championships) so when this offer came up I could not say no as I needed to make myself feel good as I found Sunday pretty tough.
With the swim anywhere around 12mins I am very happy with, but I was just pipped at the post by Colin: good T1 but was unable to match Colin on the bike but was still very pleased with my time. T2 was good but my legs were gone so I started to run probably looking very strange, I could see Colin in the distance but was unable to catch him. Overall this was a good race, but time to start saving for my T.T.bike – if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em!’
This was only Andy’s 4th tri and he’s chasing GBR AG triathlete Colin… a fine Viceroy, excited about watching this space for more!
