On the weekend of June 22nd and 23rd, Welland hosted their triathlon weekend, with the Sprint Triathlon being held on Saturday, and the half iron distance being held on Sunday.
On the Saturday, Jacquie Duffy and Rebecca Sackrider competed in their first ever triathlons, as they prepare for the Ottawa 113 (half iron distance race) in September. They both overcame a lot of adversity during and after the swim to complete their first ever triathlons. Well done ladies! It only gets better!!!!
On the Sunday, many Baydogs competed in the half iron distance race. This race is also the Provincial Long Course Championship, so there was going to be some good competition. That's good, because the Baydogs love competition!! The day was hot and humid, but the Baydogs pushed on, and finished strong, with some very respectable top 10 performances. Stephanie
Vuilleumier was 4th in her age group, Joanne Merkley ws 6th in her age group, Greg Cormack was 8th, and John Bruce was 10th. Genevieve Blais put in a very strong performance as well, showing her strength over the longer distances! Well done by everyone!!
