Trott Reflects on World Half Marathon Championships
IslandStats.com
Last fall, I was approached by Donna Raynor of the Bermuda National Athletics Association about the possibility of representing Bermuda at the World Half Marathon Championships in Gdynia, Poland.
Originally, the plan was to compete in Poland in March, but COVID-19 had a way of changing everything this year.
In the middle of the summer, she approached me again and provided the option to complete the Championships virtually.
Fast forward to Saturday, where I ran one of my best Half Marathon times over the last three years. None of this would have been possible without the amazing pacesetting efforts from Christopher Estwanik and Dage Minors, the water and Powerade provided along the way by Tom Mills and Chris Jones and Sharon Craig from @MAAC, Domico Watson, Donna Raynor and Earl Basden from Islandstats Bermuda in the lead vehicle providing support and coverage, Wayne Raynor Sr. providing much needed and accurate timing services right down to the millisecond, and lastly my wife Annamarie Trott, and parents Penelope Trott, and Randolph Trott providing support all along the course.
I also want to give it up to those that joined me in running the half marathon. Rose-Anna Hoey ran a strong 1:26 time, far exceeding her pre-race expectations. Moses Mufandaedza hung on for a 1:21, Seamus Fearon pushed out a 1:23, and Alex Winfield cruised to a 1:35, achieving their pre-race goals and setting themselves up for strong 2021 racing seasons.
I also can't say enough about Chris Estwanik and Dage Minors, who both, after initially agreeing to pace me through 8 miles, decided to run the entire distance.
I'm super happy with my result and look forward to further progress over the remainder of the season!
Minors a day after running the Half Marathon clocked a winning time of 17:23, Sammy Degraff was second in a time of 18:49 and youngster Jauza James finished third overall in a time of 19:59.
Dutranoit crossed the line 5th overall with a time of 20:32, Martina Olcheski-Bell was the second female finisher and 12th overall with a time of 22:49, and the 15th runner to cross the line was the third female finisher Laura Graham who was clocked at 23:05.

Others including Rose-Anna Hoey, Moses Mufandaedza, Seamus Fearon, and Alex Winfield all completed the course along with Dage Minors and Chris Estwanik who paced Trott.
Trott had qualified for the event and was approved and ready to compete in the event in March before we were hit with the pandemic.
Trott along with Minors and Estwanik ran along the Race Weekend Half Marathon route that started outside of Hamilton Princess and completed the race at Barrs Park.
Trott this morning covered the distance in a time of 1:14:58, Mufandaedza clocked 1:21:19, while Fearon was clocked across the line in a time of 1:23:31. Hoey would record a time of 1:26:37 and Winfield finished in 1:35:52.
