ITU Facilitators Course in Puerto Vallarta
Last week the third ITU Facilitators course was held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, just prior to this year’s Pan American Championships. ITU and PATCO, along with the Mexican Triathlon Federation, organized the 3-day course which is a certification to train ITU Facilitators to teach ITU Coaching and Technical official courses. In all, 12 PATCO Technical Officials and Coaches that were selected by their Federation met the ITU qualifying criteria attending the course. The candidates represented seven countries, including Brasil, Costa Rica, Argentina, México, Chile, USA, and Jamaica. Alan Ley, ITU Sport Development Manager, and Thanos Nikopoulos, ITU Technical Operation Manager, led the course while Gustavo Svane, PATCO Sport Development Coordinator, and Rodrigo Milazzo, part of CBTri – PATCO Sport Development, assisted with the coordination. The Puerto Vallarta course is taking place at the Crown Paradise Club hotel close to the middle of town and where the Pan American Championships were staged. ITU is strongly committed to training and providing officials and coaching training worldwide. Click here for more on ITU Sport Development {/exp:tagstripper:tagsToSave}

ITU Triathlon World Cup Series Moves to Mexico
With the 2009 Dextro Energy Triathlon – ITU World Championship Series complete, this Sunday’s Huatulco ITU Triathlon World Cup will count towards the 2010 standings as triathletes from across the world descend on Mexico. Click here for live timing. The warm Pacific waters and temperate climate will come as a welcome relief for some of the competitors travelling from Europe and North America who are currently training within colder autumnal conditions. However with an ocean swim, hilly cycle course and strong competition, the event will be far from a holiday for the triathletes with last year’s winner, Kris Gemmell, describing the 2008 race as “the hardest world cup ever!” Jarrod Shoemaker from the USA heads the men’s field with the Hamburg Dextro Energy Triathlon – ITU World Championship winner looking to finish his year strongly following victory at the ITU Duathlon World Championships last month. Shoemaker finished as runner-up to Gemmell in 2009 and will be hoping to go one better, despite facing some tough competition. Germany’s 2007 world champion Daniel Unger and three time European champion, Frederic Belaubre from France were expected to fly in for the race from Europe, however were last minute withdrawals. Tony Moulai, another strong Frenchman with a European medal to his name, takes up the mantle and his strong cycling skills should suit him on the testing roads. The Russian pairing of Igor Sysoev and Ivan Tutukin should feature towards the head of the race alongside the experienced Ukrainian, Danylo Sapunov. Home support lies with Beijing Olympian Francisco Serrano with Costa Rica’s Leonardo Chacon one to watch out for from Pan America having finished fifth in last year’s race. On the women’s side the experienced Jessica Harrison from France will be hoping to finish her excellent 2009 with another fine result. Having made the top ten three times during the Dextro Energy Triathlon – ITU World Championship Series, including a bronze medal at the Madrid event, she will start as the one to beat. Alongside her on the start line will be compatriot Carole Peon although the young Ukrainian, Yuliya Sapunova, should prove to be a major threat. If the European under23 champion can put together a strong swim and make the front cycle pack, her running pedigree could see her win the charge to the line. Having featured strongly at both junior and under23 level, the youngster is starting to show signs of being a major threat within the senior ranks. One athlete hoping for a dose of better luck is Denmark’s Helle Frederiksen who suffered during 2009 with two bad crashes in Kitzbuhel and London. Having hit the barrier coming into transition in Austria and then being brought down during an eight woman crash in the British capital, the Danish athlete will be hoping that she can make it to the finish line without incident in Mexico. The women’s race gets underway at 08:00 on Sunday morning with the men starting at 10:30am. Live timing can be found on the ITU website, www.triathlon.org Women’s Live Timing 08:00 Huatulco, Mexico 09:00 New York, USA 13:00 London, United Kingdom 21:00 Beijing, China 01:00 Sydney, Australia Men’s Live Timing 10:45 Huatulco, Mexico 11:45 New York, USA 15:45 London, United Kingdom 23:45 Beijing, China 03:45 Sydney, Australia {/exp:tagstripper:tagsToSave}
