Taylor Knibb continued her march towards the Olympic Games triathlon next month with a dominant display across the board at the San Francisco T100, where the two-time IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion took apart a world-class field.
Out of the water with the front pack, Knibb proceeded to build a five-minute lead on the demanding bike course in the Bay, before running home to a comfortable victory.
In second, Kat Matthews recorded her best ever performance over the 100km distance, with Laura Philipp rounding out the podium in third. Emma Pallant-Browne was fifth, with India Lee also securing a Top 10 finish with eighth place.
