Trevor 3rd in AG – despite dramatic bike fall!

Trevor Hartley completed Wiggle 1/2 Olympic Triathlon Sunday 26th,at Dorney. After an awesome swim where he exited the water 5th, he had a tremendous bike, faster than last year which was the same 21k distance. Then it all went pear shaped!

Trevor fell off his bike at the stop line and his calf immediately seized up – thinking he was out of the race, he limped into transition only to find a near empty rack section, he was in 2nd place.

DSCN1339Trevor put on his running shoes  and went out on the run, probably having lost about 2-1/2 minutes but  he still finished 3rd in the 55+ age group – well done Trevor, those Thursday night Viceroys handicap runs obviously helped you struggle through the pain.

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.
