“Only 20 people 40 and over
were faster than me and I’m 59,
so [ had a good race,’* said Rudd,
who finished 171 overall out of a
field of 700.

The championship length course
was a 10-kilometre run, 62-
kilometre bike, 10-kilometre run.

sand.

amateurs who were racing against
pros, many of whom compete and
train full-time.

Meanwhile, Sanya Fisher
finished second in the 25-30 age
group as well as second overall in
the short distance course which
consists of a three-kilometre run,
19-kilometre bike, and a

B’ball Blues entertain fans,
give college coach grey hair

THE MEN. Blues showed
more interested in keeping
keeping their couch young.

Playing at Delbrook gyi in the
first game of the regular season,
the Blues tempted fortune and
obliged the crowd by squandering
sizeable leads over VCC.

Capilano outplayed Langara but
needed freshman Massimo
Segato's desperate defence to save
a 93-92 victory.

The outcome was fair enough,
but had it not been for the Blues’
Jove of drama, the game would
have been packed and frozen
earlier; Capilano led by more than
10 several times, notably by $3
with five minutes left.

Towards the end of a highly
successful exhibition season, Blues
coach Neil Chester described his
squad as talented but inconsistent,
capable both of digging a hole for
itself and of climbing out of it.

Friday night that they're

“The players are feeling very
good about themselves right
now,” he said, and that much was
obvious on Friday. [f the Blues
lose this season, it won't be from
a lack of confidence.

The Biues had started strongly,
with Segato driving all the way for
a basket, and adding another for
three shortly afterwards. Also
performing well was the other
point guard, Mike Jordan (no
joke). Like the other Michael,
Jordan wears black sneakers, a
knee brace, and drives with his
tongue out. More importanily for
the Blues, he can play.

The Blues built 2 10-point lead

to make it interesting, they gave
back half their gains. At intermis-
sion the score was 48-43 in
Capilano’s favor.

The first half had been rough
on the Falcons’ Anthony Epps,
who wound up writhing on the
floor after a hard collision and
had to be taken to hospital for a
knee examination. Play between
the archrival teams was generally
clean, though Segato and
Langara’s Graham Wall traded
love taps and were assessed
technicals.
