Bermuda triathlete Tyler Butterfield finished 27th at the Auckland ITU Triathlon World Cup at the weekend.Butterfield finished the 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike and 10 km run in an overall time of two hours, five minutes, 43 seconds.He was just under six minutes behind eventual winner Kris Gemmell, of New Zealand, who finished in a time of 1:59.58.The swim took Butterfield 20 minutes, 37 seconds, while the bike (1:10:33), and run (32:51) were good enough to help him recover from his swim deficit that saw him lagging at the back of the pack.Last month Butterfield came sixth at the Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, in a time of time of one hour, 50 minutes and three seconds.
