It’s Ospaly and Haskins at St. Anthony’s
Florida is working out for Filip Ospaly. The Czech won St. Anthony's Triathlon, rebounding from a 3rd place at the Toyota Cup opener in Miami and avenging that loss by besting both who beat him there: Cameron Dye (3rd) and Andy Potts (6th).
The swim was shortened due to weather, negating the advantage of top swimmers like Andy Potts—the top 15 men were all out within 45 seconds of each other.
Dye keeps on demonstrating that he's one of the very strongest cyclists on the circuit by riding away from a pack of a dozen riders to lead by a minute off the bike.
But Ospaly blitzed the run and took down frontrunner Dye. Matt Reed showed his form is back, rebounding from lackluster performances this year at Oceanside, Rev3 Costa Rica, and 5150 Miami to take 2nd over a strong field.
Sarah Haskins again demonstrates she's very hard to beat on American soil.
Sara McLarty, Liz Blatchford, Haskins and Sarah Groff lead a pack of 6 out of the water. Haskins blitzed the bike and breezed on the run, staying clear of Blatchford and Groff.
