Queen of Bermuda Womens Triathlon – Volunteers required
The QoB is set for Sunday November 9, 2014 and we need as many volunteers as possible to make sure we have a safe and enjoyable race for the competitors. The number of ladies travelling from overseas is growing daily and we really need to showcase Bermuda at its best.
The course is the same as the former SheRox race (Paget lights to Barnes corner) and marshals are required from 7-00am until approx. 10:30am – Bright T-shirts will be provided to all marshals and there will be an information session for those requiring direction.
If you know of students looking for Community Services credits they can assist – please note all students under the age of 16 MUST have adult supervison.
If you can help please email Sue Edney on seedney@northrock.bm

Flora finished in around 2 hrs 48 mins 10 secs, around 9 minutes quicker than last year’s winning time as she led from start to finish. Chile’s Barbara Riveros, who finished 4th last year, was 2nd about 2 minutes behing Flora.
Dan Hugo, Flora’s training partner from South Africa, was 4th male. Defending champion, Spain’s Reuben Rufaza was crowned the mens champion. WAY TO GO FLORA.
