MATTHEW WRIGHT is back and very nearly returned to the podium too.
The Bajan triathlete couldn’t have asked for a better comeback to the sport, having finished fourth at last week’s second leg of the Triathlon Ontario Cup Series at the Toronto Triathlon Festival.
Competing over the sprint distance, Wright completed the event in 54 minutes and 13.50 seconds to place behind training mates Mike Lori and Taylor Forbes and third-placed Myles Zagar.
It was the first race in three months for the former CARIFTA gold medallist, who broke his toe during April’s BFIT Camtri Sprint Triathlon American Cup here in Barbados and couldn’t run or ride for the next six weeks. (JM)
