Welcome to Viceroys Chris

New(ish) Viceroy Chris Williams is an IT contractor based in Walton, ‘but working here, there and everywhere, and training when time permits. chriswilliams

As a youth I swam for Northumberland and enjoyed cross country running but then discovered girls, beer and cigarettes and spent the next 18 years abusing my body.  A few years ago the imminent arrival of a family spurred me into action and I took up running again completing a number of half marathons (my best being 1hr40 in Brighton). A persistent minor knee injury (self inflicted) stopped me running for a few months and so I bought a bike and discovered a love of cycling which is now my main hobby, and form of transport.  I’ve completed a few sprint Triathlons and after a hiatus of three years I’ve entered another at the end of September.  I harbour a secret desire to complete and IM distance event one day, but I don’t tell anyone that.  With the family getting older, I may even find the time to achieve it one day.’

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.
