Kevin Dargue has already posed on our facebook page after the accolade of completing his 100th park run, but other than getting up early on a Saturday to run, what is Kevin’s tale?
‘After years and years of skiffing at Thames Valley Skiff Club, 4 marathons and too many 1/2 marathons to count I thought I would try triathlons. Totally hooked on the Triathlons now, especially the sprints, and completed the Reading, Thorpe Park and Thorpe Swimming Lake triathlons last year. This year, my 50th, I decided to enter the London Triathlon. Having received the entry acceptance for that I then found out I had secured a place in RideLondon Surrey 100 which falls on the weekend before. Not the best planning!
Last Summer I absolutely loved the early morning swims at Shepperton before running the 5km Bedfont Lake Parkrun. Despite completing my 200th Parkrun this week I still manage PB’s every now and again. Cycling on the other hand is something I did 30 odd years ago and definitely need help and more experience in that department.
It’s great I’ve found you guys literally on my door step so should be able get out fairly often. Although it was pointed out to me that last Wednesdays Track Training night I was just about to sign up for was infact my wife’s birthday. You almost lost a member!’
Welcome to Viceroys Kevin – and like your dedication to the triathlon cause.
