Up and coming young ITU racers vied for some cash and vital ITU points as well as round three of the USA Triathlon Elite Racing Series. A 19-year-old Canadian hotshot who had failed in his first three races of the year took down a 53-man field. A 22-year-old Quebec star-in-becoming outran rising US star Kaitlin Shiver and 2008 Olympian and recent mother of twins Julie Ertel. All of the hard-fought draft-legal tumult happened on Treasure Island, a former military base in World War 2 with fantastic views of the San Francisco skyline and the rising, renewed Bay Bridge connecting SF with Oakland.
