Completing a first triathlon is a major achievement even if some Viceroys could do so in their sleep.

Yann Umbricht entered sprint Thorpe challenge primarily for the experience and really liked it but  stated afterwards: “God I need to practice the swimming a lot more!” Yann trained hard during the winter to cycle solo to Paris and do the Paris marathon for  charity, so  he did well in his swim and run disciplines.Although recovering from a foot stressed fracture he still sped home in 21 minutes in the 5k run!

So what’s next Yann? “Post race, my left leg is not very happy with me so improving my swimming and finding out what’s wrong is going to be high on the agenda over the next few weeks. I’m booked for the Olympic distance London Virgin london tri end of July, so lots of work to do. I’m going to use the wetsuit a lot!!! “
