Bermuda Triathlon Association - Argo Re Summer Series–10 September 2015

Ben Lau was kind enough to direct the Argo Re Summer Series “super sprint” held on 10 September 2015 at Clearwater. Thank you!

Ben also provided this helpful report afterwards:

The waters were slightly choppy at the beach… and it was hot and humid, as usual, for this time of year.  Not a bad number of entries this Thursday despite it being the first week of school for the kids.

Chris Hands (23.51) says that his broken toe has healed pretty well.  This showed in his performance.  He and Neil de Ste Croix (23.52) were neck and neck for most of the race until the young Chris Hands pulled ahead by a fraction in the last bit of the exciting foot race to be first with Neil right on his shoes for second.  Veteran and athlete supreme Kent Richardson was third even though he might be just a tad handicapped with those huge mountain bike wheels.

Vivienne Lochhead (28.41) was the first lady in followed by Claire McDevitt (29.24) who was second, while Laura Law (30.49) was third.  The first junior in for the full mini-sprint distance was Tommy Marshall (28.05).  Congratulations to Marie-Sophie Brackstone for completing her first Triathlon!

Thanks to Mark Zuill and Judy Marshall for their help with registration and name tracking,.. and to Isabelle Brackstone who next time as a new comer volunteer will be shown properly where to stand for the green cone turn around.  Special thanks to Kent Richardson who came out over the weekend and help to chop down some of the undergrowth for the run portion that was getting out of hand.
