Message from the President

Adai GTF Members!
Well, after a very long hiatus, our website has actually
been updated. There are still a few pages that are in need
of work, namely the race schedule and membership info, but
the pace should not be as glacial as before. Thank you for
your patience.

GUAM NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN JULY!
(4 June 2009)
The title sponsors may be different, but the event is still the same. The 2009 Guam National Triathlon Championship is presented by Cars Plus/Cycles Plus and will once again be held in Merizo at the Merizo Pier on Sunday, July 5th, starting at 7am.
 Visiting Japanese triathlete Ikki Fujiwara crosses the finish line first in the 2008 Guam National Triathlon Championship held in Merizo.
The event is an international distance race which combines a 1.5km swim in the beautiful waters of Merizo Pier, followed by a 40km bike course along the rolling terrain of Merizo, and finishes with a 10k run that has athletes running up a challenging grade toward the turnaround point.
As part of GTF’s association with the International Triathlon Union (ITU), we will be crowning our Guam National Champion male and female triathlete. Although the event is open to anyone, only legal residents of Guam (as defined by the Guam National Olympic Committee) are eligible for the national champion title. The event is also sponsored by Fiesta Resort Guam, Continental Airlines, Payless Car Rental, Gatorade, Creativitees, Sobe Life Water, and the Guam Triathlon Federation.

SPENCER AND ROBERTS TAKE SPRINT #2
(17
May 2009)
Even with a start time 30 minutes earlier than race 1, the heat was inescapable. Thirteen minutes after the horn started the race, Bruce Spencer emerged from the water first followed closely by relay team swimmer Fuligni and Cameron O'Neal.
 Jenny Roberts begins the run during the GTA Teleguam Sprint race #2 in Piti.
O'Neal would overtake Spencer on the bike and start the run 47 seconds in front of Spencer. The lead was short lived as Spencer ran down O'Neal clocking the day's best 5k in the process. His final time was 1:08:49, more than a full minute in front of O'Neal. Mark Walters completed the top 3 with a finishing time of 1:14:44. For the women it was Jenny Roberts dominating once again. Her finishing time of 1:16:58 was more than 3 minutes ahead of runner up Chiyo Lombard who crossed the line in 1:20:18. Dana Suess rounded out the womens podium with a time of 1:27:57.
