Socialiser. Gypsy. Triathlete.

conorRUNWhen Conor Moran joined Viceroys about 9 months ago, he had never attempted a triathlon and his priority was getting himself on to the committee as co social secretary

None the less, a triathlete he has become.  After making the most of  Trevor’s Thursday run sessions through the winter and Mark’s coached track, pool and lake swimming, he  embarked on the Thames Turbo Triathlon series and a mid week Monday triathlon at Dorney lake too. Stereotypes aside, this pale, red headed Irishman’s first port of call after his first triathlon was The Swan pub in Walton. His second triathlon was admittedly his worst, ‘ With about 4 hours sleep and a nasty hangover;  I tried it but I felt every foot I put on the tarmac, I did learn a lesson.”

However, by his forth triathlon, Conor had taken minutes off his racing times in all disciplines: “I so totally loved my first open water triathlon, that had to have been my best triathlon so far.”

Great work Conor, but why do you keep calling recently sighed travellers in Walton ‘family’?

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.
