Canadian triathletes Cheryl Murphy and Jasper Blake both posted come from behind victories with world class run performances at the Subaru Vancouver Half and Sprint Triathlon. The race served as the Subaru West Coast Triathlon Series Women’s Championships and the women did not disappoint with 4 top 10 finishes overall. First out of the water was Hawaii’s Bree Wee with a strong 25:50 swim clocking giving her a 2:30 lead. Wee lost her advantage when she went off course allowing Rachel Kiers of Vancouver to move into the front and gain a 6 minute lead by the end of the bike. Kiers stayed solid on the run to retain her lead over Wee but could not hold off a fast charging Cheryl Murphy (Canada) who erased a 10 minute deficit to over take Kiers in thrilling fashion only 200 metres from the finish line to take the title. Wee finished next to complete the exciting women’s podium. Rounding out the top 5 were Americans Caroline Smith and Katya Meyers.
