Welcome to Viceroys Tim

timgrayAs we welcome Tim Gray to Viceroys, we are proud to have another of our number representing GB as a triathlon age-grouper in Canada soon:

‘I’m a 45 year old triathlete living in Aylesbury, Bucks but working in Weybridge for Sony. Fitting training in around commuting and work is quite challenging which is why joining a club locally was such a good idea for me. The philosophy of Viceroys is in line with my own around our marvellous sport and I’d become very cynical around clubs only being interested in making money rather than the genuine improvement in performance of their members. It was great therefore for Mark Yeoman to suggest that I look at joining on an associate basis and I’m now looking forward to training and racing with other Viceroy members over the remainder of this season and ongoing into next.

My goals for this year were to go under 5 hours over middle distance and to qualify for GB age group over either middle or standard distances – I’ve managed to do both! All focus is now on coming up with a respectable time at the Worlds in Edmonton on 1st September.’

Welcome to Viceroys Tim – and love the picture!

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.
