BICESTER’S visually impaired athlete Paul Nicol completed the course in his first triathlon.
Nicol recorded a remarkable time of 59mins 22secs in the Superhero Triathlon at Dorney
Lake.
After signing up for the contest, he persuaded work colleagues to guide him round the 400m swim, 10km bike and 2.5km run.
Already a keen runner, the open water swim was going to be his biggest challenge, but everything went to plan.
