Jeff Phillips leads Canadian Men at Triathlon World Cup in Hungary
August 8, 2010TISZAUJVAROS, Hungary—A trio of Canadian men finished in the middle of the pack at a World Cup triathlon race in Tiszaujvaros, Hungary on Sunday.
Jeff Phillips took advantage of a strong run to lead the young Canucks in 33rd spot after clocking a time of one hour, 51 minutes, five seconds (1:51:05). Victoria’s 21-year-old Phillips, who became the first winner in the sport of triathlon when it made its debut at the Canada Summer Games nearly one year ago, continues to take positive strides forward while competing internationally on Canada’s development squad.
Phillips was joined by two training partners, Andrew Yorke and Andrew McCartney. The 21-year-old Yorke of Caledon, Ont., who has battled through a series of injuries over the last year to win the ITU Pan American Cup in Quebec this summer, finished in 38th spot at 1:51:19.
Greg Kealey (Bytown Storm) and I are here in Tiszy with Andrew McCartney, Andrew Yorke and Jeff Phillips, on a 3 week competition tour of Europe (Tiszy, Geneva, Lausanne). We're looking forward to having Alison Hooper join us next week in time for the ITU World Sprint Championships and Team Relay Championships in Lausanne, SUI.
