IMU Comes First in International Triathlon
A Farmosa International Triathlon 2008
The A Farmosa International Triathlon was held on 10-11 of May in A Farmosa Resort, Malacca. It was a spectacular race which attracted hundreds of triathletes, swimmers, cyclists and runners from all over Malaysia and even countries like Australia, Japan, Singapore etc. It is an event which consists of 1.5km swim, 40km cycle, and 10km run, and it was divided into individual category and team category.
This year, IMU sent two teams to compete in the male relay category and mixed relay category respectively.
The male team consists of Jeremy Er Anke (swimmer), Jeremy Cheah Gin Tatt ( cyclist) and Lee Kuan Ken (runner), and the mixed relay team consists of Selene Chew (swimmer) and Jimmy Tee Chin Li (cyclist and runner). All five of them are from M206. Besides relay team, IMU also sent a triathlete – Tan Jackie (M205), who did all three disciplines himself in the individual category. It was his first attempt in triathlon. All of them were representing Infinity Milers and swimming club from IMU.
After rounds of fighting in the water and on the road, the mixed relay team from IMU emerged first in the mixed relay category, beating 15 other teams to clinch the championship trophy. The other male relay team and the male triathlete also did reasonably well in the race. The final results with timing will be released soon.

It was truly a great experience and all of the participants would like to take this opportunity to thank IMU and everyone for the support. They promise to continue to train hard to bring IMU name to greater height, and to embody a well-rounded education in the university.
