Taylor Knibb was at her brilliant best at IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside yesterday, as the back-to-back IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion picked up her second title in SoCal.
Behind her in second, Emma Pallant-Browne was reinstated as the second place finisher, having originally been disqualified for a course specific rule violation on the bike. Her appeal after the race was upheld.
In third, Canadian Paula Findlay continues to build upon her consistent start to the season, following up her fourth place at the Miami T100 last month with a strong podium finish.
