Dan Spalding has been doing tris for about 5 years, but never got round to joining a club. He claims to be impressed by the welcoming and friendly approach of Viceroys, plus,” Judging from the running session I attended, I think I could learn a lot too!!” Dan has competed in Blenheim, Hever, Windsor and played lots of sports previously (cricket, squash, touch rugby) but an interest in running and cycling meant it was only a matter of time before I got into triathlons. Well done Viceroys, we’ve caught another one …

Good luck with Windsor tri this weekend Dan and your season’s targets:’ having done Windsor in 2.31 two years ago, I would love to go sub 2.30, but it’ll be hard work!’ And if Dan disappears off the scene (temporarily) during July/August, it’s because him and Mrs Dan are expecting their first baby.
