sates wins Canadian Long Course

MARK Bates won the
Canadian Long Course
Championships last weekend
in Ontario.

The North Vancouver triathlete’s time
of three hours and 58 minutes was a
course record.”

The event was a_haif-ironman dis-
tance, comprised of a two-kilometre
swim in Georgian Bay, a 90-kilometre
bike (including a thigh-burning climb up
Eliminator, Mountain) and a 21-kilome-

te run through the streets of
Collingwood and along the rugged
Georgian Trail.

Second place went to Jamie
Cleveland, followed by Mike Buck in
times of 4:00 and 4:04 respectively.

Last Saturday's win represents the first
Long Course national championship for
Bares; though he has won four short
course championships in previous sea-
sons.

The North Vancouver man is now
preparing to detend his national title at

the 1998 national short course champi-

-onships (1.5km swim, 40km bike, ]0km

run) in Winnipeg on August 8.

Bates is responsible for the creation of
the North Shore Junior Triathton Club, a
North Vancouver recreation centre pro-
gram designed for youngsters interested
in endurance events.
