XTERRA WETSUITS Pro Chris Lieto Takes Second at South Beach
It was a successful weekend for triathletes racing in XTERRA WETSUITS. Chris Lieto, America's fastest triathlete, placed second at the Nautica South Beach Triathlon after swimming in his Velocity ++ triathlon speedsuit. His second place time of 1:15:11 came only one second behind Chris McCormack in a sprint finish.
Also racing at Nautica South Beach was former NBA star Rick Fox in a Volt triathlon wetsuit and his actress girlfriend Eliza Dushku in a Velocity 0.02 triathlon speedsuit. The celebrity couple completed the entire race together.
Across the country at the Superfrog 70.3 in San Diego, California, local amateurs sporting XTERRA WETSUITS put up stellar results. Jake Mclaughlin was the fourth male out of the water in his Vendetta triathlon wetsuit and was the eighth amateur to cross the finish line in 4:40:12. Riikka Aramo was the third female out, also in a Vendetta, and was the third amateur female to complete the race, clocking 5:06:10. It was the first 70.3 distance triathlon for both Jake and Riikka. A great way to kick off the 2010 season!
