Welcome to Viceroys Suzy

New Viceroy Suzy Blandford has just started doing triathlons after a background  in running:  ‘I have completed 4 marathons and decided after injury at last year’s London marathon to have a break from the long distance for a while. My boyfriend had got into triathlons from a swimming background, so my first hurdle of being able to swim a few SuzyBlandfordlengths was solved by his swimming lessons! I moved up from Devon to Surrey in December to be with my boyfriend (now fiance!) and as he was already a member of the pink club I decided to join too. I am hoping to get to know the local area a lot better on long bike rides, get use to riding in packs and learn to swim well enough so that I don’t have such a big gap to catch up my fiancé up on the run! As I am fairly new to Surrey and I am also looking forward to meeting lots of people.’

You’ve come to the right club Suzy – we’re a very friendly bunch! And huge congratulations on your engagement to Viceroy Matt Storr.

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.
