Check out the event website for more info. Stay tuned for updates on her race...so it looks like Diana had a great race. Check out her splits below:

Good enough for 418 Overall and 5 Age Grp. She was first out of the water for her age group...we expected nothing less from you...Congratulations Diana! I can't wait to talk to you about your race.

It looks like the Pro's race had an exciting finish for the males. Andy Potts won in 3:58:22 with Craig Alexander only :03 back. With 400 meters to go, Alexander passed Potts. Potts responded and beat Alexander to the line by 25 meters. Crowie gave everything he had to close the gap in the last 5k. Erika Csomor finished first on the women's side in 4:23:14. Mirinda Carfrae was 1:36 back and Leanda Cave 3:26 back. More results and race coverage can be found here. Click here for overall race results.
