Herring and Orchard claim titles
Jonathan Herring and Laurie Orchard were crowned the men’s and women’s AON Triathlon champions at Clearwater in their final race before next month’s NatWest Island Games.In hot and humid conditions, Herring successfully defended his title in a time of one hour, four minutes and 38 seconds, admitting the weather played a huge part in pushing all the competitors to the extreme.“I’m relieved to get the win in the heat, and against some fit and improving guys,” Herring said. “I didn't feel good out there for any of it, but with the Island Games coming up I've still got a way to go to reach race fitness, so I really couldn't afford to ease up.“I was sluggish from start to finish today and those boys were looking strong, and with the extreme heat out there it was a great test before the Games’ tough course to not feel good on.“There were a dozen U-turns to give your fitter chasers an injection of hope by not getting out of sight and out of mind.“It will be a slightly different course for the Games, but luckily it will be starting two hours earlier than today.”Winter Olympian Tucker Murphy finished in second place in a time of 1:05.32, while Mark Robinson came third in 1:07.32.Six members of Bermuda’s triathlon team for the Island Games competed in the AON Triathlon, including women’s champion Laurie Orchard (1:13.03) who echoed Herring’s sentiments about the conditions.“It was always going to be difficult out there with the high humidity and heat at the time the race started,” she said. “It was important to stay focused and hydrated because the last thing you would want is for someone to stop due to not getting enough fluids.“In races like this you have to be prepared for anything and I think it helped those who are racing at the Island Games to come to grips with the sort of weather that can potentially be on the day.”The second and third fastest women were Martina Olcheski (1:14.58) and Belinda Castree (1:17.22).In the Try and Tri race Otis Ingham won in a time of 19.42; Nicholas Pilgrim (19.26) was crowned champion of the Junior Racing Bike race; Blake Oliveira (22.41) won the Junior Mountain Bike/BMX competition, and Jessica Godfrey (1:10.34) claimed victory in the Junior Racing Bike (Advanced) race.In the Company Teams competition, Butterfield & Vallis won in a time of 1:05.39; Is Jayne Here won the Female Teams race in 1:23.000; Heineken Drinkers (1:20.50) were the quickest in the Open Teams event, and Team Blue won the Re(insurance) Teams race.Joining the newly crowned AON champions at the Island Games will be Laura Norman, Adam Hopkin, Tucker Murphy and Martina Olcheski-Bell.Other members of the 10-member team are Kent Richardson, Geoff Smith, Mark Wilcox and Tim Goodyear.
