Mike Armer has joined Viceroys from Serpentine after moving to the Walton area from Wapping. After some promising early teen years as an 800m runner, he discovered beer and other distractions at 17 and, after a couple of years playing rugby, got bigger and bigger each year enjoying the social scene in London! He started running again 2 yrs ago, bought a bike and decided to give triathlon a go.
‘My girlfriend told me about a guy opposite her who was always in his garage on a bike. I popped over to check out his bike one Sunday morning and it turned out it was Mr Yeoman. After some googling I decided I should do a bit of what he was doing!” Highlights thus far of my new triathlon life have been competing in the Laguna Phuket Triathlon (definitely a location triathlon worth considering) and getting into the GB age groupers for the ETU & ITU sprint duathlons. I am looking forward to a few Shepperton Lake sessions and the Sunday ride with the Viceroys, as well as pulling on some pink kit for this year’s races!’
Welcome to Viceroys Mike – look forward to seeing you in a bit of pink…
