More Gravel (Worlds): USA Triathlon National Gravel Championships
Photos: Kevin Mackinnon
Things wrapped up for a busy weekend of racing at Gravel Worlds with the USA Triathlon Gravel National Championships held at the spectacular Branched Oak Lake. Athletes were welcomed to the race site this morning with an impressive sunrise along with some rain, which helped create a beautiful rainbow and also packed the gravel roads down a bit, so things weren’t quite as dusty on the bike.
The national championship featured two distances – a sprint (750 m swim, 17 mile bike, 5 km run) and an intermediate distance (1,500 m swim, 28 mile bike and a 10 km run. This is the first of four years that the event is slated to take place here in Lincoln.
We’ve got all of the podium results after the gallery. For full results you can click here.
