Monnink and Hardage take the 33rd Kingston Triathlon

Boasting an impressive former champions list of Simon Whitfield, Lisa Bentley, Mark Bates, Tereza Macel, Sharon Donnelly, and Pierre Harvey, Ottawa’s Jordan Monnink and Robyn Hardage added their names to the long standing history of today’s 33rd KTown Long Course Triathlon.

Kingston age grouper Michael Casista had the fastest 2 km swim of the day (26:59), with Monnink close behind (27:36). But Monnink was the man to beat, with his eyes firmly set on the prize after being disqualified last year along with Richmond Hill’s Andrew Bolton, when both missed a turn and rode off course. Monnink posted the fastest 56.2 km ride (1:21:58), and 15 km run (54:21), to claim the overall victory in 2:45:52. Bolton, the reigning Ontario Olympic Distance Triathlon Champion, held on for second (2:50:19), over Toronto’s Mikael Staer Nathan who finished third (2:50:58) after a late charge on the run.

Hardage (who started in an age group wave 4 minutes behind Quick) continued to make up ground and needed every bit her fastest 15 km run of 1:03:44 to overtake Quick for the win (3:11:17), leaving Quick to settle for second 23 seconds later in 3:11:40.
