ITU Triathlon World Cup Series Heads To Mexico
competitor.com November 04, 2009
With the 2009 Dextro Energy Triathlon – ITU World Championship Series complete, this Sunday’s Huatulco ITU Triathlon World Cup will count towards the 2010 standings as triathletes from across the world descend on Mexico.
The warm Pacific waters and temperate climate will come as a welcome relief for some of the competitors travelling from Europe and North America who are currently training within colder autumnal conditions. However with an ocean swim, hilly cycle course and strong competition, the event will be far from a holiday for the triathletes with last year’s winner, Kris Gemmell, describing the 2008 race as “the hardest world cup ever!”
Jarrod Shoemaker from the USA heads the men’s field with the Hamburg Dextro Energy Triathlon – ITU World Championship winner looking to finish his year strongly following victory at the ITU Duathlon World Championships last month. Shoemaker finished as runner-up to Gemmell in 2009 and will be hoping to go one better, despite facing some tough competition.
