Musselman Triathlon by Gary Pallett (posted July 14th)

Sarah-Anne Brault competed at her first Senior Elite Event -- the Continental Cup race in Geneva New York on Saturday July 12th. The women’s field was very small, 9 athletes, but had a number of very talented athletes competing including 3 Olympians. 2008 Olympians Kathy Trembley (Canada), Julie Ertel (USA) and 2004 Australian Maxine Seear (she was selected in 2004 over 2003 World Champion Emma Snowsill). Sarah had the best swim of her life, and came out of the water in second place only 2 seconds behind Kathy Trembley. She then made the lead group of 4 with Trembley, Ertel and Alycia Kaye from Canada. She managed to stay and do her share of work in the pack but the long cycle pretty much fried her for the 10 km run ahead. That, combined with the 33 degree temperature, made it a very long run for Sarah, but she was able to maintain a lead over the rest of the field. The 4th place effort won Sarah $1500 in prize money so was well worth a lot of suffering. I think the result will give Sarah a lot of confidence to head into senior racing almost full time next year (we still need her for the Canada Games). 

Here are the results and a story on the ITU website.

Sprint Distance:

Olympic Distance:

Because of the cold weather and a water temperature of just 12.5 degrees, the swim portion was shortened to 1100m. The final age-group wave to enter the water was the 45-49 women and 50-54 women. Every wave after that was turned into a duathlon consisting of a 3-kilometer run, 40-kilometer bike and 10-kilometer run. The affected waves were all women over 55 and all men.
