Why are all the new Viceroys called Andrew or Simon?

And who is Simon Colvan?

Simon C….is Simon Colvan, who is perhaps most easily differentiated through a passing resemblance to Tony Slattery. Thankfully he swims/cycles/runs better than the 80s comedian. Just. Embarking on his third season of tri, Simon’s aims are to start being a bit more competitive at events and to enjoy the social and motivational side of group training. His sporting background lies in football but ironically he gave it up because it took up too much time! Simon can be seen at track, Shepperton Lake and, if you look far enough over your shoulder, on Sunday rides.cropped-photo.jpg

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.
