Result is out! Male Open remains dominated by Edwin Wong who showing his performance of consistence elite training. Brain and Eric kept working together on swim and bike until Eric pull a tow due to his injury.
Our junior Chris Kwan is stepping up to join the men to complete the course at 3rd overall. Osamu and Mark also not doing too bad given the lack of training in the past months. Paul was trying hard to recover his lost from the swim...
On the girls side, none of them completed the entire course since Hidy and the junior girl Chole are still a triathlon newbies, Peggy got an injury on her feet so only done the swim and bike. So all of them got 1 point and we are still very please to see every happy faces at the end and come out to support Sonic events in the early morning.
