12:25 PM - Humongoid apologies! There was a cable outage in our neighborhood that just got fixed. More racing news is posted on Page 2.......

12:30 PM - Despite her signature "fastest-run-split-of-the-day," RUTH BRENNAN MORREY could not overcome big deficits in the swim and bike to challenge for a podium spot at the 70.3 World Champs. Against the deepest long distance field of the year, she placed 15th in 4:24:52. Switzerland's DANIELLA RYF (4:09:09) was the women's winner. Ryf's 2014 highlights also include two IM wins (Zurich - 9:13:30- and Copenhagen - 8:53:33) and a victory at the Weisbaden European 70.3 Championships.
