Alistair Brownlee makes it two in a row after victory in Madrid and now victory in Washington D.C. in the Suunto sponsored ITU World Triathlon Championships. The mens racing got underway at 9am with a 1500m two lap swim in the Potomac River, using the same tactic as he did in Madrid, Brownlee hammered the opening kilometres of the run to try and break the resolve of his opponents though found Spain's Javier Gomez hot on his tail. Brownlee, however was too quick for Gomez, outpacing him and leaving Gomez to pick up the Silver medal.
The woman's race, which kicked off just before 12.00pm, saw Emma Moffatt rally strongly in the swim, though beaten out of the water by Sarah Haskins and staying part of a pack in the bike ride, Moffatt took the lead after a few kilometres of the run and eventually won the race.
