Welcome to Viceroys Mike

mikeessexHi, I’m Mike and I did my first triathlon at Thames Turbo one very stormy bank holiday in 2008 on a borrowed bike and shorts / tee-shirt. Since then I have been hooked and seemed to have got a bit more serious with each passing year. This year I hit 40 and decided to dedicate more time to training with the aim of getting in the GB age group team. Competed in Rother Valley earlier this month and nervously waiting to see if my time is good enough to make the squad. I need some more help and inspiration and heard great things about Viceroys (mainly from Carl!) so decided to join. I am married with 2 little girls so face the usual problems of fitting training in around work/family but so far, so good! Looking forward to meeting you all.’

Good luck with qualifying Mike… are you going to be Viceroys number 4 to buy a plane ticket to Canada?

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.
