Kiwis win Eagleman 70.3

Terenzo Bozzone ran down Andrew Yoder to win the 2010 edition of the 70.3 Eagleman and thus successfully defended his title. Fellow Kiwi Sam Warriner also had a great race and took the women's title leading from start to finish.

The men

A superb swim by David Kahn saw him enter T1 about 1:30 up on a pack that included defending champion Terenzo Bozzone, Philip Graves, Andrew Yoder, Richie Cunningham, Tim Marr and James Cotter.

The anticipated battle on the bike between young cycling prodigies Yoder and Graves did not quite come to fruition. Pennsylvania native Yoder rode away from the Brit and soon took the lead from Kahn. Graves was riding decently well in second position but was steadily losing time to Yoder and unable to drop the dangerous Bozzone. As the leaders hit T2, Yoder was up almost 4 minutes on Graves and had a few seconds more on Bozzone. Cunningham, Cotter, Marr and Kahn were all still in contention after the ride, reaching transition around 20-30 seconds after Bozzone.

Bozzone flew along on the run and slowly reeled in Yoder. The Kiwi was the only runner who managed to run sub 1:20 on that day and crossed the line first with another title in his already impressive resume. Cotter has a superb race too and ran himself into second position. Yoder continued his string of impressive performances and held on for third place here after finishing first in Columbia and third at Kansas 70.3.
