Laura Bennett had a fantastic race to finish as the first USA athlete across the finish line at the Beijing World Cup race, getting the third place spot for a podium position as well. Big congrats to her! She is the first member of the 2008 USA Triathlon Team.

Gale, that was a quick blog! Congrats to Laura Bennett. As the 2004 Olympic alternate, it must be a great feeling  to be the first to claim a spot for 2008. Quite a finish for her, too! Sprint to the end! Can't wait for tomorrow race.

Yeah, I was watching the race live. Fun! I'm sure Laura and her family are all exctatic. Tonight, the men's race, which will be equally exciting.
