The first triathlon in the Canadian Junior Elite series took place last Sunday June 9th at Bird's Hill Park, just outside Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Marauders were well represented with 4 athletes competing, as well as 2 athletes who will be attending McMaster in the fall. Leading the way was Blair Morgan, who finished in 6th, with the 4th fastest run split. Following closely behind were fellow Marauders Austen Forbes in 7th, with a strong showing while still recovering from pneumonia, and Rui Xu in 8th after catching the pack with the 2nd fastest bike split. Both athletes finished strong with run splits under 16:30. After some issues in transition 1 with his bike shoes, Connor Darlington came off the bike with a vengeance, and ran his way to a 15th place finish with the fastest run of the day, 15:18. Soon-to-be Marauders Reid Burrows from New Brunswick and Patrick Daley from Peterborough finished 10th and 12th respectively. Based on these results, both Blair and Austen have unofficially earned spots to represent Team Ontario in the 2013 Canada Summer Games in August. The official team should be announced on Friday June 21st.
