Local seniors win again at Seniors' Games
Perrie, Leitch and Walker come second in Stratford with their triathlon team
Aaron J a c k I i n
Joan Perrie of Walton was awarded three
medals recently for her performance in the
Seniors' Games.
"I got two firsts and a second," she said. "We
got the second for our triathlon team and I got
the first for the prediction swim for women under
65, then I got first for walking."
Both swims - the triathlon and the separate
swim event - were eight lengths in the pool, or
200 metres. The walking event was a three kilo-
metre walk for women under 75.
"That was in Stratford," she said. "We walked
along the river."
Both the walk and swim were prediction
events, meaning participants predicted how long
it would take to complete the event.
Their scores are the difference between their
prediction and the actual time, with the lowest
score winning.
"When it's prediction," she said, "you compete
with yourself, really."
Perrie said it was a nice walk, though "it was a
hot and sticky day."
"In the swim for the triathlon, I was two sec-
onds off my predicted time," she said.
In the regular swim event, she was only one
second off her predicted time.
"That's what made me excited, that I was so
close," she said.
Perrie competed with Ethel Walker of
Drusilla Leitch, Joan Perrie and Ethel Walker
Brucefield and Drusilla Leitch of Egmondville in
the triathlon as a team.
Walker said she enjoys the Seniors' Games.
"I wouldn't be in it if I didn't," she said.
Walker's been at it for "at least seven years."
She walked for the team.
