Can we give a shout out to Matt Russell. Yes, there were amazing race finishes today for the podium and winners today, including the records, but Matt's result today is just as incredible and in my mind the most amazing pro story of the day. For Matt to finish 6th today blows me away. Congratulations Matt, you are an inspiration.
Matt's collision while racing last year was horrendous and he almost lost his life. He has made an unbelievable come back this year and his finish today should go down as one of the most incredible in professional triathlon history.
Triathlon Taren did a great podcast interview with him a while back and if you haven't heard his story and want to know more about Matt, have a listen...here's the link:
