Tugwell Takeover at Garmin Kingston 8 mile

‘Myself, dad, brother and Joel Stainton took part in the Garmin Kingston 8 mile,’twas pretty grim out there..  I had a good start soon settling in with a group of six, chasing a front three. Around three miles the pack was thinning out and by the four mile marker it was just me and another guy.The pace was good but I felt I had the better of him judging by our little battles we were having over who was going to be just in front

.At around the old water works the pace picked up and we started to push for home, it was side by side as we got to the roundabout, but I managed to puff up my chest and go for it, the other guy tried but could not match it and I finished about 20m in front. We weren’t catching the lead group so it was nice to have a little battle of our own.
My Dad did well coming second in AG,50/54,also my brother coming 5th in AG,30/34.
I’m sure I will get them on the team next year!’

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.
