Suunto Ambassador Matt Reed won his second US Championship in triathlon last weekend. Olympian Reed was considered the favorite in the race, especially after Hunter Kemper and Andy Potts cancelled their participation.
Reed did not disappoint his fans. Already at the beginning he was in the group of four, with Matt Chrabot, Joe Umphenour and Brian Fleischmann. On the bike Reed and Charabot pulled ahead and easily distanced themselves from the others for the remaining bike laps.
Out on the run Reed put more time onto Chrabot and the rest of the field each of the four laps. At the finish line, Reed had more than a minute on his nearest competitor Chrabot.
With the race worth double points in the Haul to the Great Wall Elite Series, the win locks up the overall titles for both Ertel and Reed.
