Wednesday, September 7, 2016 • News Record 7 Goderich Triathlon runs and cycles through a quarter century Aug. 21 marked the 25th anniversary of the Goderich Triathlon - a sold out event with 250 participants regis- tered this year. Back in 1991 Tom Doherty pulled off the very first Goderich Triathlon and con- tinued it on for 22 years. In 2013 Race Huron carried the torch and have continued on Doherty's dream for the past three years. The morning started off with gale force winds build- ing waves to two metres and forcing the race team to can- cel the swim and make the event a duathlon [the swim was replaced by a second run (run -bike -run)]. This year there were over 80 volunteers from the com- munity, without the support of the volunteers this event would not be running into its 25th year. Once again, Huron County athletes dominated the event. The results are as follows: Olympic triathlon (run as a duathlon) Run 10km - Bike 42.5km - Run 5km Female 19 and under 1st Anna Denomme Male 20-29 1st Matt Underwood Female 20-29 2nd Carolyn Schaerer Female 40-49 3rd Lisa Pot Male 50-59 Julie Sawchuk helped hand out the medals at the awards ceremony for the 25th annual Goderich Triathlon.
