Viceroys Andrew Moody and Yann Unmbricht travelled to Mallorca this weekend for the Ironman 70.3, Andrew reports: ‘A journey man’s report. While Yann was holding the fort at the front I was bringing up the rear learning lessons all the way!

The irony was that I booked this thinking I would have fine weather and a good first race to develop the rest of the season as one of the journey men of the club…I aspire to AG leader board…however like most enjoy other aspects of life and family which prevents me from total dedication!

The race can be summed up: Swim. Moist with Jelly fish stings and a little swell (Shepperton ain’t no ocean!!) Bike…more moisture rather more a monsoon and wind….more wind…needed more watts….slow up hill…fast down (thanks Kevin Argent and Mr Yeoman for the switch back tips most useful) …training would help on hills…..Run…damp and a little moist…pace well off cold sapped energy…crossed line a happy chappy even so! Learning: weather plays a crucial part in any journey…but completed in 7.30….way off my best but a good kick up the back side for the next 2! Placed a glorious 367 in AG….I like to think of Yann and I as book ends!!!

However, NEVER SHOWED WEAKNESS and the new tri suit looked awesome (photos to follow) Best MOODSTER (Viceroys Journey Man Triathlete)’
