Reinventing the wheel: Super League Triathlon

Like many other local members of the triathlon community, I was delighted when it was announced that Super League Triathlon was bringing its stable of superstar athletes to Singapore for its season-ending championship, but I wasn’t the only person to express my doubts when the location for the two-day event was revealed as Sentosa Cove. I wondered how the little luxury enclave at the eastern end of the island could possibly squeeze in a swim-bike-run course, never mind one to host a world championship-calibre event.

For a start, where were the athletes going to swim, in among the boats in the marina? Turns out they were, with the moored yachts providing a spectacular backdrop. And then there was a criterium circuit for the cycling! What genius came up with the idea of throwing a crit slap bang in the middle of a triathlon? What a masterstroke! As was the entire decision to hold the event at Sentosa Cove on a compact site ringed by restaurants and bars; my doubts about the location proved to be completely unfounded. Click here to read the full story.
