AGE-GROUP ATHLETES BASK IN MULTISPORT SUCCESS AT MISSION BEACH
The birthplace of triathlon was host to competitors drawn to the sunny skies and the stand-out venue of the 2013 Omegawave World Triathlon San Diego, which welcomed more than 1,800 age-groupers from 15 countries to Mission Beach on April 20.
The swim-bike-run contest also served as the USA Triathlon Club National Championships. Club members could earn points for their teams in the Olympic-distance, sprint and aquabike races based on their finish positions, with titles up for grabs in five club categories.
Hometown team Triathlon Club of San Diego won the club championship in Division I. Other club champions include Nova/Multisports Orange County (Division II), Newport Coast Triathlon Team (Division III), TriLaVie (Division IV) and Revolution/HERevolution (Division V).

PARATRIATHLETES SHINE AT CAF SAN DIEGO RACE
Nearly 50 paratriathletes from five countries participated April 20 in the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) World Paratriathlon San Diego, the first of three international paratriathlon races offered by the International Triathlon Union in 2013.
The race helps to set the stage for athletes who already have their sights set on the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, where paratriathlon will make its debut on the Paralympic program.
“I love that our sport is starting to get a little more credibility,” said Patricia Walsh, a TRI-6a competitor from Austin, Texas. “What I see is the numbers have doubled in the past two years, so I think what’s happening is we’re starting to get some of those really elite athletes from other sports and disciplines like Paralympic swimming, Paralympic cycling. As a result, we’re seeing our competition really take a big jump, which I think we all wanted. It’s really a fantastic time to be in paratriathlon.”
