If this season of Argo Re Summer Series Triathlons has to end soon, at least it's going out with a bang. For the second week in a row, the competitors enjoyed virtually perfect conditions.
Romar Douglas was this week's winner clocking 26:14. Douglas has been there or thereabouts a number of times, but final was able to cross the first. Otis Ingham--as usual--finished near the top, this time in a strong second place with a time of 26:23. In third was Charlie Duffy in an excellent time of 27:45.
Sharon Hammond was, again, the leading lady she finished 5th overall with time of 28:15. Hammond originally took part in these events to shepherd her sons Rudi and Lois, then very young, around the course. She's spread her wings since they no longer need a guardian athlete Hammond now competes capably at Ironman 70.3 distances. Laura Hope continued her recent improvement, finishing in 10th place overall and was the second female finisher in 30:16. She'll crack the 30 minute mark soon. Strong running Lynsey Palmer returned to claim third female place and finished 13th overall with a time of 31:24.
