Bermuda’s Megan Berry participated in her first multisport event in the Sidmouth Aquathlon in the South West England.
The competition was over a 600m Pool Swim followed by an outdoor 5K Run.
The Exeter University student, who has only recently taken up the sport of Triathlon, completed the Swim in 9:03 and the Run in 21:57, including transition, for an overall time of 31:00 minutes flat good enough for 16th overall out of 97 competitors.
Berry was the 4th Female and 3rd place in the Female 19-39 Age Group. Berry’s next race is the Dartington Duathlon on March 23rd.
Meanwhile Tyler Butterfield’s season gets underway this Saturday March 15th in the Abu Dhabi International Triathlon against a stellar field that includes Ironman World Champion Frederick Van Lierde. Butterfield was 3rd in 2013 and will no doubt be looking to go better in 2014 but this year’s professional field is arguably stronger than last year’s so it won’t be easy.
