June 28, 2004 --- St Malo Multisport Weekend's Results
On
June 26 and June 27, the 9th Annual Multisport Weekend was held at
St. Malo Provincial Park, hosted by the Tribalistic Triathlon Team.
On
Saturday, 105 triathletes participated in the second Kids of Steel® event of
the year, which was aimed for children 6-19. Novice adult triathletes took part
in the Try-a-Tri. Jane Klassen was the top female competitor and Jeff Brooks,
the top male.
A
number of different events and distances were offered on Sunday, where 211
participants swam, cycled and ran. In the Olympic distance (1500m swim, 40km
bike, and 10km run) the top three male finishers were Jeff Morier in first
(2:02:06), Jacques Marcoux in second (2:08:31) and Jared Spier in third
(2:08:39). The top female finishers were Edie Fisher (Kenora) in first

included Charmaine Shannon who placed first (1:15:30), Erika Andrejowich came in
second (1:20:26), and Jane Ransom in third (1:22:15). On the men’s side, Allan

The
top three competitors in the Female National Kids of Steel® Junior Sprint

first in a time of 1:09:11, followed by Amy Briscoe 1:09:14, and Dianna Kennedy
(Alberta) in third, in a time of 1:09:18. On the male side, Ben Adam from
Alberta came in first with a time of 1:00:57, Willie Bell placed second
finishing in 1:04:01, and David Gagnon from Quebec placed third in a time of
1:05:28.
The chilly 13°
water made wetsuits mandatory. As a result, many athletes switched to the
Duathlon categories. In the Long Duathlon event (5km run, 40km bike, 5km run)
Christel Leclair and Gary Coleman were the overall winners. The overall Sprint
Duathlon (2.5km run, 20km bike, 2.5km run) winners were Magally Zelaya and David
Markham.
Upcoming races include Kids of Steel® races in Snow
Lake on July 3 and in Pinawa on July 10 as well as the Free
Spirit Triathlon on July 11.
