Triathion means added preparation for runner

NORTH VANCOUVER | runner Vicki Swan expected to finish the Vancouver Internationa! Triathlon just before noon today, marking another athletic achievement in her three-year running career.

While she may finish well behind the top athletes, the insulin-depen- dent diabetic is not worried about coming in first, she will be happy just to finish her 12-kilometre por- tion of the event in a respectable time.

Joined by two other racers with insulin-dependent diabetes, Swan

Canada loses by one match

CANADA CAME out a loser by a Mere one match when it took on The Rest of the World at a West Vancouver Lawn Bowling Club competition recently.

India-born Dave Fairweather led the 13 The Rest of the World rinks to victory over Canada’s 13 rinks, which were under the direction of Frank Skinner.

“It was very close, a really even match,’’ The Rest of the World player Brian Arcnold-Jenkins said of the competition, hoped to become an annual event.

Players taking on Canada were born in a host of countries, in- cluding the United States, India, Poland, Jamaica, South Africa and Great Britain.

Organizers expect to see Canada challenge The Rest of the World when the competition enters a se- cond year on the B.C. Day holiday in 1989,

As weil as runner Swan, swimm- ing will be veteran triathlete Chris Banks, 38, of Surrey; cycling will be Janet Waterston, 26, of Van- couver.

“I don’t think being diabetic is any reason not to do it,” said Swan, whose training routine in- volves monitoring of blood sugar, insulin levels and sugar intake. “You take precautions...and go for it.’’

Diagnosed as diabetic when she was three years old, Swan, 26, has been running for three years and

finished this spring’s Vancouver Marathon.

While running she carries an orange with her to bolster lagging blood sugar, and carefully coordi- nates her running with time of day and eating habits.

‘‘The spontaneity of ‘Let’s go for a run’ just isn’t there,’’ ex- plains the triathlon newcomer. ‘‘T can do it but I take the chance of getting a few miles out, feeling re- ally tired and having to go back.”’

Last summer, diabetic Greg Corry of Victoria proudly joined the ranks of finishers who com- pleted the gruelling Ironman Triathlon in Penticton.
