3S Dominates at the 15th Annual Huntington's Disease Triathlon

The 3S team force was felt on August 6, 2006 at the 15th Annual Huntington’s Disease Triathlon in both the Sprint and Olympic distance formats. It was a tough race day, as our very own Boris Fernandez puts it “Conditions were the worse I have ever seen since I have done this race and I am talking all the way back to 1999.”

Even with the choppy seas, windy bike ride and hot run, Boris took 1st over all with a 2:11:43, Juan Meza brought a 3rd on the 35-39 age group with a 2:35:55 and Sandro Dal Bosco secured a 7th on the 40-44 age group with a 2:47:22 in the Olympic distance event.

In the Sprint format, Caitlin Rembly delivered an impressive 1st over all with a 1:16:08 and James Dugan 1st in the 40-44 age group and 9th over all with a 1:11:35. Even after winning, James said it was his “worst swim in a few years, but a decent bike and run.”

On the fat tire division, Adam Parks took 2nd over all finishing with a 1:37:26.

As I said before, it is clear the 3S dominance was felt on the event.

Congratulations to all!

Cathy Parbst Wins the Championship and qualifies for the World Championships.


Cathy won the Regional Duathlon Championships on July 4th at Tradewinds Park and qualified to compete in the World Championships in Gyor, Hungary in 2007.

She turned pro after winning the Powerman Alabama Duathlon and realizing she was a very good runner and cyclist. She got started in multisport while living in Clermont, FL where she won the triathlon sprint series in 1998.

Cathy raced as a professional Duathlete in 1998 and 1999, where she was the first American and placing 12th at the 1998 Word Championships in Germany.

In the spring of 2005, she moved to Miami, where she now resides and has become an integral part of the team. She is still undecided about Hungary, but she says if she can find some sponsors, she will go.

Weather she goes or not, does not really matter, she is still a winner in and an example to follow for all of us.

Congratulation Cathy!
