I had the opportunity to fly out to Florida to watch the race. Here are a few photos of the pro race.

Badmann winning the women's race. All smiles as usual.

Simon Lessing cruising with a 5 minute lead.

BigMatt on the run portion. Nursing a bit of hip injury from the Bend Over ride, he takes it easy on the run and elects to finish the race.

Mirinfa Carfrae runs into second place for the women.

Spencer Smith running in 4th before being DQ'd after receiving 2 penalties, the second reportedly being "abandoning equipment" (empty GU wrapper outside the trash zone) halfway through the run.
