BEAMING WITH CONFIDENCE, Peninsula fronman Monty Holding races his ultra-light bicycle around the challenging course at the Ironman Canada triathlon in Penticton, Aug. 26. Coliform levels remain okay Peninsula residents can continue to escape the summer heat by swimming in pollution-free waters. The Capital Regional District announced coliform counts for the week ending Sept. 6, which showed Peninsula waters are well below pollution danger levels. The results are as follows: Durr- ance Lake — 11, Island View Beach — 7, Devonshire Beach —16, Bazan Bay — 18, Cole Bay — 18, and Pat Bay — 17. Coliform counts in excess of 200 per 100 ml of water over a 30-day period can lead to the risk of gastrintestinal illness to swim- mers who ingest the water, accord- ing to the CRD health services.

The bombshell announcement came last week after trials for 21-member B.C. squad, held Sept. 1-3. Widely regarded as one of the world’s top full-backs and place- kickers, the eight-year national team veteran said he was initially upset by being dropped. However, he felt the develop- ment was a political move that was not good for the image of the game, he said. An eight year veteran of the B.C team, Wyatt said he had to call the provincial team’s coach to find out why his name had been left off the team roster. “T saw it coming. As far as ’m concemed, their was some politics involved in the process (of selec- tion), he said. “This is the first time I’ve been victimized by the process.” Wyatt declined to elaborate on why he felt he had been given a raw deal but said there was “some dirty laundry involved”’ in the selection process. “Selection is not always based on ability,” he added. A sure-footed kicker for the Canadian national team and a former World XV all-star team member, Wyatt said he is not worried that his place on the Canadian national team may also be in jeopardy. “It’s been mentioned that my place is still safe at the national level,” he said. “What happens at the B.C. level does not happen at the national level as long as there’s not some of the same coaching and manage- ment people involved at both levels.” Wyatt said he plans to continue playing at a club level for the Valox Valhaylians in Victoria this season. Cairns on way to Hawaii Peninsula triathlete Brenda Cairns, 41, has been selected to compete alongside the world’s top-conditioned athletes at the Ironman World Championship. Having placed sixth in her divi- sion at the Ironman Canada race in Penticton on Aug. 26, Cairns qual- ified for the world championships, to be held in Kona, Hawaii, Oct. 6. Cairns posted an impressive time of 13 hours, 16 minutes and 30 seconds in the women’s 40-44 year-old age group over the gruel- ing course in Penticton. Selected from more than 4.000 international applicants to race among the 1,300-strong field, Caims said she is delighted with the prospect of competing. “Tm really nervous but really excited. I figured I should go and compete as the opportunity may never come by for me again,” she said. The Ironman World Tnathlon — the world’s most prestigious Iron- man event — involves a 2.4-mile ocean swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride and a 26.2-mile run.
