Trifindr’s hot take:

Last weekend was a mixed bag of successes and setbacks for some of triathlon’s top competitors. While Frodeno emerged victorious in the challenging 70.3 Kraichgau race against Kienle, Kienle’s unfortunate injury and withdrawal in the St. Polten race showcased the risks and challenges that come with the sport. Middaugh’s continued success in the off-road XTERRA series and Sanders’ impressive course record in the Chattanooga 70.3 remind us of the diverse nature of the sport and the many different ways athletes can excel.
