The ever consistent Paula Findlay picked up her first win of the season on Saturday, as the Canadian held off an international cast of contenders to take her first victory in the IRONMAN Pro Series.

Taking the title at IRONMAN 70.3 St. George, which doubled as the IRONMAN 70.3 North American Championship, Findlay rode off the front of the race early on in the bike and was never to be seen again by the rest of the field.

Her result, which comes a month after her third place finish behind Taylor Knibb and Emma Pallant-Browne at IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside, bodes well for the rest of the season, with her next race set to be the San Francisco T100 next month.
