NUS athlete Itsuko wins Bintan Triathlon 2012
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!!

Aquathlon season 2012
The SAFRA Biathlon is usually the kick-off event for the aquathlon season. Traditionally the date is announced bit more short notice, but it's been in early February in recent years. The MetaSprint (formerly Tribob) Aquathlon is Feb 19. The NUS Biathlon may be towards end of March again. Stay posted on our "Events" tab for most recent updates on upcoming events and competitions.

Be prepared for another round of fun open-water trainings in Jan/Feb (usually Saturday morning on Sentosa, followed by Brunch). Volunteers wanted for helping organize the aquathlon season - please shout out.
