The final race of the season....Duxbury Sprint Triathlon!
This has become one of the favorites from the BPC team. The race is a fantastic course, with a straight swim across Duxbury Bay (1/2mile), a 13.3 relatively flat bike ride through Duxbury center and then a 3.5 mile run around Powder Point. Not only is the race beautiful, but it's always at the end of September, which is a great time to race!
This year did not disappoint. What should have been a massive gray and rainy morning turned out to be a sunny and breezy race. It was a bit hotter than past years, but we were all so grateful for the nice weather that no one seemed to really mind the heat!
Our BPC athletes shone out there on the course. Coach Vic Brown picked up another AG win as did Coach Ali Winslow. For Brown, this concludes a very successful season of many 1st place AG wins, top 5 OA wins and another shot at Nationals in Burlington next summer. For Coach Winslow, this was the 5th 1st place AG finish this season and 3rd top 5 female OA finishes! Both Coaches plan to be at AG Nationals next summer in Burlington.
Other notable finishes came from Jason Gentili, a BPC athlete relatively new to the sport of triathlon. After coming off the Reach the Beach Relay, Jason posted a 4th AG finish and a top overall time! Also at Duxbury this year, the "post-natal" relay team of Lianne Cleary, Liz Dial and Dave Cleary. Lianne and Dave gave birth to J. Cleary in February, and Liz and Brad Ewald gave birth to J. Ewald in January. It was great to have them back on the race course!
All BPC athletes raced well and we now look forward to the "off" season! Thanks to all for their support and look for our BPC athletes in area road races, cycle cross races and fall duathlons!
