Welcome to Viceroys Mick

New Viceroy Mick Tumilty is clearly serious about triathlon – he’s already subjected himself to some coaching sessions from chairman Yeoman, so what’s Mick’s story?

‘3 years ago I started running with the aim of getting my ever increasing waist line in check. After 6 months of slow plodding,  I joined the Elmbridge Road Runners and made good progress with the club.  With the weight steadily coming off, I decided to start cycling the 30mile round trip to work 3-5 days per week and found I enjoyed zooming through Richmond park on the way into and out of London, so the natural thing to do was try multisport. I’m now 50lb lighter, the owner of 4 bikes, and Mark Yeoman is trying his best to teach me how to swim properly. Good luck Mark!!
 
Last year I completed the London duathlon and the sprint Tri at Club La Santa. Now I just want to gain some more experience, get fitter and faster and have as much fun as I can along the way. See you all on the track, on the roads, in the lake or in Carluccios.’

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.
