The Bermuda Triathlon Association’s Argo Re Summer Series resumed in good conditions after a one-week hiatus due to Cup Match.
As usual the race was held in good humor, with athletes ranging in age from the evergreen Kent Richardson to pre-teen Maria Ramirez.
The small field was typical for a post-holiday race, but was boosted by very welcome tourists from Calgary (the German family) and DC (the Bakers, who are repeat visitors to the island).
Chris Hands edged out Kent Richardson, Hands clocked a time of 26.10, while Richardson was clocked across the line in 26.16.
In third overall and the first female finisher was Lynsey Palmer, who clocked 28.51, Palmer finished strongly despite a tumble getting onto the Bike at speed.
In the short race, Nico Davies finished first and looked very capable clocking 20.07. Jasmine Hasselkus, fresh from an admirable first place finish overseas, was the first female home and was second overall with a time of 21.57 and Jake Smith suggested that he may be a chip off the old (sorry, Geoff) block by coming third despite taking a wrong turn on the run course, he clocked 22.00.
