2013 Rev3 Maine
The Rev3 Maine at Old Orchard Beach triathlon course took competitors through some of the most beautiful coastal scenery to be found of a New England summer. In return, the Rev3 pros offered great performances and intense competition. Leon Griffin, the 2006 ITU Duathlon World Champion from Rabbit Flats, Australia, hung tough with St. Paul, Minnesota’s David Thompson on the bike, then outsprinted his rival at the finish. Elite rookie Katie Hursey, coming off two straight ITU World Cup wins in Europe, won her third straight pro race on the strength of a great 34:46 run.
