This is what triathlon needs. A fun filled and excitement packed weekend. First was the kids race on Saturday morning. Hundreds of happy kids went splashing into the water and eventually sprinting across the finish line. Blackhawk helicopters, Clydesdale horses, and lots of vendors were very appealing to everyone that was at the event.
Shawn Johnson was also very popular. Later that day, Emma Moffatt ran away with a win and $200,000! American Sara McCarty had huge lead coming out of the water and led on the bike for 5 of the 8 laps. The crowds were very enthusiastic as McCarty would come flying through the grandstands every lap. Eventually, the other women caught her and Emma Moffatt and Andrea Hewitt took off running together. Moffatt pulled away and never looked back. It was a great race.
For the men, the finish is something that wil be talked baout for a long time. Check out all the race action at
