Jackson Laundry on his way to posting the top bike split to claim the victory at the 2016 Belwood Triathlon.

Guelph’s Jackson Laundry and Kitchener’s Angela Quick added another win to their growing collection at MultiSport Canada’s 4th edition of the Belwood Triathlon.

Alexander Hinton exited Belwood Lake with the top 750 m swim of the day (9:58), and 2013 Belwood Triathlon Champion headed out on the windy 30 km bike course with a road bike – the tool of trade for a draft legal triathlete. With the added benefit of wind slicing TT bikes, Laundry and Alex VanderLinden, chased down Hinton, and battled each other for the race win. In the end, Laundry posted the top ride of the day (42:26) which gave him 79 second lead heading into the final 7.5 km run. VanderLinden chased hard and gained time of Laundry but the lead was too much, allowing Laundry to claim his second win in a row (1:22:17), following up on his victory at the Welland Long Course Triathlon. VanderLinden finished second (1:22:53), and Hinton third (1:24:37).
