Duathlon events on Sunday when Rainbow Warriors hosted their Flow Energy Mini-Duathlon and Savannah One-Lap Run/Walk.
D’Andrade won the One Lap race at the Queen’s Park Savannah, Port-of-Spain, in 12:16 while Trinidadians, Sherwyn Stapleton and Elvis Turner were second and third respectively in 12:17 and 12:30.
“I ran the One Lap playing catch-up, because I got delayed at the start-line and when I looked up I saw the race going in front without me. So I took off with some speed and didn’t look back until I crossed the finish line,” D’Andrade told Kaieteur Sport yesterday.
“The relay Duathlon wasn’t that tough. I ran first, then my teammate and then I ran the anchor. I felt great because I am still working on my speed for two upcoming 5Km Road Races scheduled for next Wednesday, which will be Trinidad’s Republic,” he continued.
D’Andrade ran the first and final legs of the relay Duathlon, which saw his Guyanese teammate, Kelvin Johnson running the middle leg. He will compete in the Annual St. Joseph Road Race at 6:00am and the Newsday 5Km Classic at 4:00pm next week.
