VICEROYS TAKE ON THE WORLDs – PROFILE #12 Colin Hinsley

Veteran World Champs Triathlete Qualifies for Team GBR on Last Year’s Success

colinhinsleyworldsAlthough my qualification campaign for the world championships has been very uneventful this year, having pre-qualified at Edmonton, it has made for something of an unusual season.  Over the past few years I have represented team GB at Aquathlon, Sprint and Olympic distance races and in turn the qualification races have provided me with a schedule of events to keep me focussed on my training as well as pointer to how I am getting on.  However, this year it has been quite different and far more relaxed than normal – so keeping my fingers crossed it all goes well in Chicago.  Finally, I’m looking forward to catching up with the many Viceroys that have done so well this 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.
