Gooding, Greene take on Bajans Sunday

National Triathlon Champion Ancil Greene, 33, and former nine-times national champion Jason Gooding, 29, will be challenging the best of Barbados this Sunday in their National Olympic Distance Triathlon Championships. The duo will be competing against two of Barbados’ promising juniors, Jason Wilson and Mathew Wright, who have been dominating the triathlon scene over there.

But while Greene is promising to get the better of the Bajans, Gooding says that his supporters will have to wait until the T&T National Championships on April 27, to see him in full flight.

“I haven’t been training for a long time, since I had more or less retired from the sport and was concentrating on organising races and expanding my company, Odessey Timing, which times races electronically,” said Gooding. “As a matter of fact I am now recovering from an eye operation (for glaucoma), and only started training this week, would you believe.”

Gooding said he was encouraged to throw his hat back into the ring because of the recently formation of the Caribbean Triathlon Union (CTU) in Nevis two weeks ago.
