The 2014 triathlon season started off with a bang on Good Friday, 18 April.
As usual our usual season opener was a home event. These home events are somewhat informal and often don’t attract large fields. This time, despite mediocre weather, the event featured a field of over 50. This included a number of new names to local triathlon. Good start!
The event was scheduled to take place at John Smith’s Bay. However, the sea was rough so in the interests of safety a last minute decision was made to switch the start to the Harrington Sound Dock.
Congratulations to race winner Tyler Smith, who came home in a blistering 56:16. Tyler is really improving and is clearly a chip off the (not so) old block. Marc Wilcox and Neil Lupsic were second and third in 58:09 and 59:02, respectively. Kristen Palmer, in 13th place overall, was the first female finisher in 1:08:39. Heather Cooper, in second place, showed that her hard training for Ironman events is adding speed as well as endurance, with a time of 1:09:52. Megan Berry was the third lady home in 1:10:20. A special shout out also to golden oldies such as Steven Petty, Jeff Conyers and Charlie Duffy, who posted impressive times.
Well done to all competitors, and a big thank you to:
- Tim Goodyer, for taking responsibility for the race briefing and providing a lift to hospital for a competitor who was injured (I gather not seriously–I hope not),
- Patty Petty, for her usual expertise with a stop watch, and
- Christine Patton and Karen Smith, for providing invaluable support.
