D’Andrade was back in competition after a brief rest and finished in a time of 16:19 minutes behind Trinidadian, Matthew Hagley (15:55). Another Trinidadian, Iley Bruce was third in a time of 17:35.
Meanwhile, in the 15km race, Kenyan, Kenneth Rotich stopped the clock at 48:10 followed by Guyana’s Kelvin Johnson (52:08) and Trinidadian, Curtis Cox (53:03).
“I felt good, even in the morning humidity. I was resting up briefly, so it felt good being back on the course. I am preparing for the UWI Spec Half Marathon scheduled for October 25; so I’ll be picking up some momentum for that with the Air Bon Sonics and the St. Mary’s 5km race carded for this weekend and then the Palo Seco Credit Union 5k the following weekend; just before the UWI Half Marathon,” D’Andrade told this newspaper yesterday.
‘The Race For Hope’ with RBC/TTRRC had 700 participants, who ran to support and celebrate the progress of children in treatment and recovery for Cancer in Trinidad & Tobago, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica and the Bahamas, who have all received funding for their treatment since 2009.
