Simon completes first ever Tri… and enters another 4!

Another week, another new(ish) Viceroy – Simon Tack. Congratulations Simon on completing your first ever tri last weekend (Eton Supersprint: 400m Swim, 20km Bike and 5km Run)… particularly impressive as he had never even worn his wetsuit before, let alone swum in it. He loved the swim though: ‘ one of the best swimming experiences of my life! A total eye opener. I felt like I was turbo charged – incredible!!’SimonTack

If you’re still struggling to work out which Simon is which, he’s the one with the dog. Loki first came swimming at the lake on  a recent Monday, and then clocked a very reasonable time with Simon on the handicapped Thursday night run. But this isn’t just about his dog…

Simon’s first tri success (1:24) has spurred him on to enter: Marketing MAA Olympic Tri; Hampton Court Swim; Gatorade Evening Sprint Tri; Eton 70.3. GO SIMON!!

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.
