Stanko Wins USAT MidEast Regional Championships

Coming off of a win in the Grand Rapids 70.3 just two weeks ago, Nick Stanko put together a complete race to win the USAT MidEast Regional Championships Olympic distance race.  Nick started the day off with a personal best Olympic distance swim.  Out of T1, he then put his head down and got to work on the bike.  He also put down another personal best for the Olympic distance on the bike by coming into T2 at 57:20.  He set out of T2 to run down his final two competitors.  He got both of them before the halfway mark and had to set his own pace.  The run was on 90% dirt road and 10% trail, so, the 33:15 10k was faster than it seemed on paper.  Nick is looking to extend this string of strong performances at long course distances over the next two races.
