Reggie Douglas has been
officially dethroned and James Weekes has replaced him
as the new National Triathlon Champion. In the female
category, Miranda Fellows has achived the status of
new National Female Triathlon champion.
These positions were determined on Sunday 21st March
as the annual Nevis Triathlon was held. The action commenced
at Gallows Bay at around 1pm after a briefing done by
chief organizer Winston Crooke at the TDC car park where
all of the athletes received their final orientation
exercises and official marching orders.
87 athletes participated in the event with 24 in the
Olympic category, 37 in the Sprint and 26 in the Tri-Tri.
Quite a number of countries were represented and these
included the USA, the UK, Trinidad and Tobago, Antigua
and Barbuda, St. Maarten, and Puerto Rico, St. Kitts
and Nevis and one athlete from Zimbabwe.
There was also fair representation by the students at
the Ross University in St.Kitts and the MUA in Nevis.
Despite the best efforts of the local athletes, those
from Trinidad and Tobago were dominant. After the competitors
had completed the swim phase at Gallows Bay, they ran
to the TDC car park and mounted their bikes.
They then biked to Cotton Ground to the clearly demarcated
turnaround point. On completion of the biking they were
then required to run to as far as Four Seasons to yet
another turnaround point before completing the race.
