Newsflash-Palavecino wins in Chicago!

Matias won the international elite amateur division of the Chicago triathlon this weekend, in true GRC style running down the leaders. He swam sub 20 on 1500m (=very very fast), cycled 25.5 MPH for 40k and still ran 34.00 10k! Very impressive! He should be doing good in the pro races very soon!

    A 1:56 on his own is pretty absurd. Swim was probably long as well, and a sub hour bike split is tremendous.

    For those not in Chicago over the weekend it was far from summer conditions with temps in the upper 50s/low 60s in the morning and it was very windy.
