US Olympian Matty Reed won the 2008 Boulder Peak triathlon in record time and under extremely hot conditions. With the win Reed repeated his victory from 2007, but runner-up Simon Lessing and third place finisher Brian Fleischmann did not make it easy for him. The women's race was won by Canadian Angela Naeth who is racing her first season as a Pro. Jasmine Oeinck and Amanda Stevens rounded out the Pro podium, but age grouper Brooke Davison's time of 2:11:02 placed her 3rd overall female.

You might want to add as a footnote that the age group race and the pro race actually ran different run courses. The distance might be the same (10km) but the age group ran 1 lap mainly on gravel and the pro's ran 3 laps of a smaller loop - more bitumen but more hills.
