race winner!!!

i'm happy to report that i won my race today in welland!!! it's my second win of the season and my first ever in the HSBC series. i'm super stoked with my cycling results and my overall time, and i'm feeling stronger then ever after a month of downtime to nurse an injury. i'll publish a fully detailed post-race report shortly.

also, congratulations to canadian triathletes simon whitfield and lauren groves. whitfield won his ITU race yesterday by nudging out germany's jan frodeno in a sprint-to-the-line photo finish. frodeno just barely beat whitfield at the olympic games last year with a similar sprint finish, but the canadian veteran walked away yesterday with the gold medal and some redemption.

lauren groves also had a podium finish in her race, finishing third in the women's event.
