Subject: Incredible Finishing Kick shot of Cali 70.3.....

I didn't take it, so I have to link to the post, see the post by Mike Plumb.  Holy cow.

If you didn't hear, Potts was leading the run, he and Craig Alexander ran the last 1.5 miles together, Alexander passed Potts, Potts took it back with 25 meters to go to repeat in Oceanside.

Potts (#1) looks like he is cruising.  Alexander, not so much

I see our Minnesota guy David Thompson got 4th place getting the fastest bike split (again).  It must be a crazy life.  I just called my local bike shop where he works Friday morning and confirmed a bike fitting with GearWest for the afternoon.  Talked to him for a minute or so about his race season and he didn't even mention doing the HIM

Man that's cool. I was really wanting a live feed- we're totally spoiled now by IM coverage.

Awwww, tupups ... I held back in order to enjoy the view from behind them. Otherwise, I woulda gone ahead and won it. 

Phenomenal shot, Chris! Thanks for linking. I heard all about the breathtaking finish. It was so awesome to be in a late wave so that I watched the pros come out of the water into T1.
