Stanko Wins Overall at Michigan Titanium Half Ironman

This past weekend, Nick Stanko got back to racing as a running injury had him sidelined the past few weeks.  He got back in fine fashion by taking the overall win at the Michigan Titanium Half Ironman in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Nick started out well by coming out of the water near the front.  Very early in the bike, he had taken over as the race leader and spent the rest of the day in front.  He was having a strong bike on a challenging course, but the blazing sun and unaccustomed heat started taking a toll near the end of the bike leg.  On the run, Nick settled into a conservative pace to avoid aggravating the injury and came in at 4:17 after leading most of the race for another overall win.
