Philip Woollins delivered a commanding performance at Clearwater Beach to claim victory in the latest round of the Bermuda Triathlon Tri-A-Tri series.
In the premier event of the day—a grueling test consisting of a 200-meter swim, 8-kilometer bike ride, and a 2-kilometer run—Woollins proved to be the class of the field. He stopped the clock in an impressive 27 minutes and 10 seconds to finish comfortably ahead of his nearest rivals.
The battle for the remaining podium spots was a much tighter affair. Ronan Davidge managed to hold off a fierce challenge from the Fosker family, securing second place in 28 minutes and 18 seconds. Owen Fosker claimed third just 11 seconds later, edging out Chris Fosker by a single second in a thrilling sprint finish.
Joshua Cann took fifth place, followed by Elliott Davidge and Carter Davis. Seamus Durkin, Lionel Quintin, and Paul Tohill rounded out the top ten, while Esme Davidge finished as the fastest female competitor in the main distance, placing eleventh overall.
In the shortened aquabike format, which skipped the final run element, Julia Hawley took the honors. Hawley completed the 200-meter swim and 8-kilometer bike ride in 20 minutes and 47 seconds, narrowly beating Charlotte Parkinson, who crossed the line just 13 seconds later. Matthew Carr finished a commendable third.
Meanwhile, the junior developmental event over a 200-meter swim, 5.3-kilometer bike, and 1-kilometer run saw a solo masterclass from Bethany Davidge, who completed her course in a swift 23 minutes and 4 seconds.
