HyVee ITU World Cup Triathlon 2010

West Des Moines, IA - June 13, 2010 - Aussie Emma Snowsill won her second Hy-Vee ITU Triathlon Elite Cup in Des Moines, Iowa today, topping countrywoman Emma Moffatt by 16 seconds. Snowsill came into T2 over a minute behind the leaders and then posted the day's best run split of 34:05 to take the win.

"I was angry about my position after the bike, so I used that aggression" Snowsill said. "I wanted to reel in as many girls as I could." Britain's Helen Jenkins finished third, less than one second back of Moffatt, with Canadian youngster Paula Findlay finishing fourth.

Great Britain's Tim Don took home the $200,000 top prize at today's Hy-Vee Elite Cup in Des Moines, breaking away from the field at the start of the run to win in 1:50:20. New Zealand's Kris Gemmell finished second, four seconds back, with Aussie Courtney Atkinson rounding out the podium, finishing another four seconds behind.

"This feels absolutely amazing," Don said afterward. "I felt great at the start of the run and just tried to hang on for the whole thing. I was really hurting to hold them off at the end."
