Greg Watson won the Duathlon Long Distance World Championship today…too bad Benny and Jonathan Hall had to withdraw.
Never met him, put Greg seems to be a class act guy who’s at the top of his sport while holding down a full time day job. Congrats!
I realize none of the Tri mags will give this any decent coverage so thought I should.
That is great news! Met him at the Du Worlds last year in Switz. He is truly a great guy, and no spring chicken anymore. Where did you get your information on the race?

BTW…John Phililps was 14th

Great job Greg. Nice to see Greg win a big one.
yep, he was in a class of his own. So was the race atmosphere, too. Because of an injury I had to withdraw from the mainrace and start at saturdays short distance race (10 k running, 60 k cycling, 5 k running). Even though it was a minor part of the race weekend we raced on up to four laned closed roads. Being in the top5 on most of the bike I had my personal police motorcycle leading me through the whole bikecourse (well, until I flattened at 45 km´s). And people were chearing all over the course. WHAT A GREAT RACE!
