Argo Re Summer Triathlon Series Concludes

The Argo Re Summer Series triathlon continued, with Byron Rencken winning the season finale crossing the line in a time of 26:18. Tim Palmer  finished second clocking 26:37 and Nick Pilgrim earned third place with a strong run, enabling him to leapfrog Otis Ingham with a time of 27:19.

Finishing 8th overall Kim McIvor was the leading lady. Sharon Craig was in second and 10th overall with a time of 31:18 and Liz Stewart was one spot back clocking 31:41.

Alan Gilbertson the Race Organizer said, “I usually say in my race briefing that there are only two main rules: have fun and stay safe. Well, judging by your feedback this season lots of people had fun, and thankfully I’m not aware of any major injuries in the 20 or so races, so everyone stayed safe.

“It’s a fair amount of work to run the series, despite the fact that everyone pitches in to help so willingly each week. That’s made worthwhile for me when I see folks nervously try the Super Sprints, improve, and then go on to bigger and better [or at least longer!] events.

“This year, quite a few Super Sprint “graduates” will be taking part in the Bank of Bermuda Foundation event, for some as their first full sprint race. Best of luck–and remember the two main rules above!”

Ian Pilgrim said, “This series while relying on volunteers would not have been run without Alan Gilbertson’s tireless efforts, and him selflessly turning up week after week to organize and run them. All participants send the BTA are very grateful for his contribution to the series and to the sport as a whole.”
