There were three women participating in the PSP triathlon, with Danielle Taylor finishing first overall among her peers, crossing the finish line in one hour, 48 minutes, one second (1:48.01). This time put her 11th overall among the 18 competitors who covered the course — 33 lengths of the GSH pool, 20-K bike ride which included a portion on Hwy 340, following by a 5-K run on the Base. Taylor was in the final of five groups, with her group featuring just two swimmers to start their portion of the course. So, she had to wait around while four other groups swam their 33 lengths before she found herself in the pool. She enjoyed the sprinkler left by the CFB Shilo firefighters on the BComd’s lawn, stopping and soaking herself before moving on to a water station. Photos Jules Xavier/Shilo Stag
