Fantastic achievement! Itsuko clinched
1st place overall (women) in the recent Bintan Triathlon! She emerged
the champion out of a total of 96 total female participants, clocking 2:30:50. Itsuko swam the 1.5 km in 29 minutes, which she feels wasn't "that fast", but she sped up even further during the biking and eventually surpassed a lot of her opponents during the run as she told us. A harsh rainstorm right before the race had
resulted in a wet transition point! Her shoes, socks, bikes...everything
was in the water. She even had to collect her floating shoes from
a puddle of water at the
transition. But in the end, it all worked out nicely for her. A BIG congratulations to Itsuko, who will be participating in the Frankfurt IM in early July! We wish her all the best!!
