Goodremont/Hoffman Take Inaugural Title

Brian Goodremont and Meghan Hoffman took the male and female top spots at the San Juan Island Fitness inaugural Spring Sprint Triathlon held Saturday, April 17. The event included a 500 yard pool swim, 12.5 mile bike ride and 3 mile run.

Here are the full results.

Goodremont, training for IronMan Coeur d’Alene, finished the course in a scorching 1:07:25. Hoffman, a veteran of the sport, finished in 1:18:57. Hoffman’s closest challenge was Kaitlyn Johnson who took 2nd female and 3rd overall, in 1:20:26. Taking 2nd male and 4th overall was Timothy Dwyer in 1:22:20.

Of the 32 registered for the race, only 3 were from off-island – two from Orcas and one from Mt. Vernon. “It was a real local race, like it was intended” said Paul Hopkins, Race Director for the event. “Probably 65% of the people had never done a triathlon and it’s great to have them get exposure to the sport in the ‘friendly confines’ of the Island.” The race will happen again in 2011.
