Triathlon Vet
Three Events…….. Three Triathlons……. Three Months…….. One Vet…….
Chris Queen, a small animal vet in Wokingham, is taking fundraising for WVS to a new level. He will be competing in 3 triathlons over 3 months and is looking to raise £3,000 for WVS. This is a great challenge and we urge everyone to fully support him. Visit his Just Giving web page and make a donation to help him reach his target.
Each triathlon consists of:
750m swim
20km cycle
5km run
Chris says, “I originally signed up to do the first with a friend as neither of us had ever done a triathlon and we thought it sounded like a fun challenge. As I started training I realised that it would be a great way of raising money for a worthwhile cause and thought of WVS. I like what they do in terms of supporting communities in developing countries by teaching them how to care for their animals, whom they often rely on for their very survival. As is my usual style once I’d decided to run for charity I set about making things complicated! As triathlon incorporates three individual sports in one event I thought why not run three triathlons over three months and raise £3k. Simple. Or so I thought!”

“I recently took delivery of my first ever tri-suit, which is effectively a tight all-in one suit. Not very fetching but essential wear for the events. They do make you run faster though – probably mainly because you want to just get past people as quickly as possible to avoid hearing their comments!” – Chris Queen
