First Duathlon and English National Championship win for Victoria Kenny

Saturday’s Ashridge Duathlon at Ashridge House in Hertfordshire hosted the Triathlon England National Duathlon Championships, the full report and results from which you can read and see HERE.

A former runner and very new to multisport racing, Bristol-based Victoria Kenny took the victory by more than six minutes in her first start over the run-bike-run format.

Shortly after that performance I spoke to Victoria to find out a bit more about her, her sporting background and find out that “trying an Ironman for fun” in 2017 has lead to a new direction, not only sporting but in her life too. Check it out in this video:
