Viv Williams - World Champion

I must appologize that I have missed such this. Viv Williams has won her age-group F45-49 in BG Triathlon World Championship in Hamburg. Congratulations!

Here are the overall results of F45-49 category:

1) Viv Williams (RSA) 02:24:45
2) Annie Carrino (USA) 02:25:19
3) Janet Ferguson (AUS) 02:26:21
4) Penny Rother (GBR) 02:26:43
5) Judyann Cummings (USA) 02:27:21
6) Robyn Scott (AUS) 02:28:36
7) Kerstin Sprenger (GER) 02:28:43
Olga Vasilyera (RUS) 02:29:26
9) Pippa Michaels (GBR) 02:29:46
10) Ruriko Yajima (JPN) 02:31:17

I met Viv last year while we both stayed at Hugo house in Worcester, she was racing at Jailbreak triathlon and I was following Nicola and hoping to get a good sunburn. She or someone else told me back than, I can not really remember who, that she hopes to become the world champion this year. I was somewhat amazed. It is always strange when people say to you that they or someone else is planning to be a world champion. It sounded to me as if I heard someone is planning to go to the Moon.

And just now, on MyTrainingDay.com, I saw that she did realize her ambition. I am amazed!

What is it about someone elses success that makes us so happy I do not know but it is the best thing - we do nothing, they do all the work, and we are happy. I guess I am a fan of Viv Williams because this is what fans feel like.

Bravo!
