Whitty earned the trip to compete at the three-day running festival through her Butterfield Half Marathon victory in September, with boyfriend Dawes accompanying her and also taking part.
Dawes finished top veteran-40 and fourth overall in the Half Triangle Challenge – a mile, 10km and half marathon – while Whitty placed third woman and 11th overall.
A further bonus for Whitty came with climbing to joint-fifth on Guernsey's all-time road 10km list following a personal best of 37min. 0sec.
‘It was incredible from start to finish,’ she reflected after her return to rainy Guernsey.
‘We’d highly recommend the event to runners of all abilities and levels of competitiveness.
‘The running community is pretty special wherever you go, but mixed with the vibe of Bermuda, it really was an unforgettable trip.’
The weekend started with Friday evening’s Butterfield Mile, with multiple waves for the open event followed by further races for elites and finally schoolchildren.
Dawes finished third overall in the open mile with 4-53.70, while Whitty posted 5-17.39 for quickest non-elite woman.
In Saturday morning’s 10km, they were lucky enough to line up against the event’s guest speaker – Paula Radcliffe.
The course was relatively hilly but Dawes still ran 32-45.32 for fifth and Whitty took third woman in 36-59.80, which is rounded up for ranking purposes.
The concluding half marathon brought a challenging course and humid conditions, but both Guernsey athletes maintained their positions in the standings.
Dawes claimed another fifth with 72-40.78 and Whitty came home third woman in 82-40.00.
That day had those doing the Full Triangle Challenge taking on a whole marathon instead and, as with previous events, Whitty highlighted the level of support on course.
‘The whole island got behind the event and were out to cheer at every corner.’
She said the overall event was ‘very well-organised and supported’.
‘We’d highly recommend it and would love to go back ourselves.
‘We were so well looked-after throughout the whole trip and as a prize it was way more than we ever expected. It was a trip we loved and are extremely grateful for.’
