Running Mad. Running ... Because I Can. iRunnerBlog. An interview with Kim Morrison - Tri247. Nina McArthur interviews Kim Morrison; corporate banking city girl by day, talented up-and-coming age group GB triathlete by every other available hour. In September 2012, I graduated from a two year graduate scheme in Commercial Banking Relationship Management along with many good friends and colleagues. We all went our separate ways onwards and upwards into the City banking world but one girl I kept in touch with and then bumped into at a triathlon later was Kim Morrison. Now working in corporate banking, she had also entered the world that is triathlon. I've watched her progression over the last year and seen her morals match mine (see my blog) as she grows deeper and deeper in love with the sport... but also gets fitter and faster and explodes onto the competitive age group scene. At the Dambuster Triathlon just a few weeks ago, she qualified for the World Championships in London, nailing yet another run PB.
How did she decide that triathlon was the sport to try? “Coffee and cake? 3 Grand Tours For Teenage Cancer Trust » Home. Call This A Holiday? » Meet The Characters. Crazy ideas. Training. Run for your life: The Great Lanhydrock Trail Run. Arriving at 09.10 we were among the first to register and pick up our numbers for this 10 mile trail run through the beautiful estate grounds of Lanhydrock House, a National Trust property in the heart of Cornwall. The race was scheduled to start at 10.00.
We'd been on holiday in Cornwall for the past week, clocking up around 35 miles of mixed training including two sets of 15x150m fast repetitions and some swimming in rough seas, so we were reasonably fit. As prize categories only extended to MV65 I'd no expectations of winning anything but felt pretty sure my wonderful partner would take one of the LV60 prizes. The start was a little congested so we back markers were slowly away, round a sharp left turn onto a narrow woodland path where it was impossible to pass anyone.
It suited me fine, giving me chance to settle into a rhythm I intended to maintain throughout. Until I actually saw the results in black and white I couldn't believe what I heard at the prize giving.

This was to be a joyous write-up, another race down, cracking bling, a challenging but fun course in the mountains, a Tweet Up, but I cannot shake the images of Boston out of my head. When the first plane hit the Twin Towers I was working on the trading floor of Bear Stearns. I stopped when I heard of the story and walked over to see what all the fuss was about. When I was a kid a German teenager landed a Cessna in Red Square, Moscow, so I had an image of a light aircraft hanging precariously with its tail out of the glass monoliths of downtown Manhattan.
I was shocked when the full extent of what had transpired came to light, for only a year earlier I had completed all VISA paperwork and was supposed to head to the US to work for an investment bank that took up the top floors of the buildings I watched fall. I could have applied for Boston like so many of my Twitter friends. I am disgusted about what happened but it will not stop me from running. Anyway, to Edinburgh. Over trails and hills.
