First, was the 70.3 Worlds in Henderson, Nevada, where Sebastian Kienle defended his title. He's had a tough season with a number of injuries but put it all together when it counted.
A lot of commentators were saying he couldn't ride away from the group again this year. They said the other guys wouldn't let it happen. Well, I don't think they had a choice.
In the women's race, Melissa Hauschlidt, who won in 2011 and had a tough 2012 due to injury, came storming back to take another title.
Enjoy the clip.
In olympic distance news, the grand final of the ITU season and overall points were taken by Javier Gomez for the men and Non Stanford for the women.
Jonathon Brownlee finished 2nd on the day and the season and brother Alistair Brownlee finished way down on the day due to injury and 4th for the season. A bit of a bummer having lived in London for so long and followed the Brownlees for a while, but it was an excellent race.
