Hewitt Wins Madrid Sprint (May 31, 2009 )
The 2009 Dextro Energy Triathlon – ITU World Championship Series continued its exciting start to the year with some breathtaking races at round two in Madrid, Spain.Andrea Hewitt outsprinted four other competitors to win in a photo finish ahead of Sweden’s Lisa Norden in the women’s race as they crossed the line together in 2:05:58, with the last ditch effort paying off for the Kiwi who suffered at the opening race of the series in Tongyeong when she crashed early on the cycle leg. Jessica Harrison from France finished in third just one second behind, with Germany’s Christiane Pilz and Sarah Haskins from the USA trailing in having run most of the 10km together

Although the men’s race lacked the excitement of a sprint finish it too provided some exceptionally compelling competition as talented young Brit, Alistair Brownlee, put himself on the map with a dominant performance in the men’s competition whilst 2008 world champion, Javier Gomez, returned to the Caso de Campo in front of an expectant home crowd.
