New to Viceroys, New to Triathlon

colette

New to Viceroys, new to triathlon, Colette made the switch after gym boredom set in – a May deadline for a Dorney triathlon (it was then just December) was an abundance of time to learn the quirky insanities of the sport we all love. She remembers standing on the edge of the lake worrying about her sanity in May as she prepared for her first open water swim; tipping gracefully from her bike as she came to terms with using cleats … at least she’s a good runner!

 Then came Dorney! From the moment Colette got in the water she loved it (hardly surprising – we’ve all seen her speeding off in Mark’s Monday swim coach sessions).Colette says: ‘I was so pleased with my time but I knew I had the bug when all I could think about was how I could make it faster. I’m looking forward to meeting more of the Viceroys, what must be the friendliest club around.’ Welcome to Viceroys Colette.

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.
