Two Germans couldn't stop smiling on a picture-perfect triathlon day at the first Herbalife IRONMAN 70.3 Gdynia, Poland: Diana RIesler and Nils Frommhold. As the clouds cleared and an IRONMAN branded Embraer jet of LOT - Polish Airways rocked its wings on a low-level flyby to great the waiting athletes the two young Germans set out for a dominating day in Norther Poland. Riesler set the tone in the women's race exiting the water almost 5 minutes in front of veteran athlete Erika Csomor of Hungary followed by a stunning 2:19:25 bike split and a comfortable 1:28:41 run. Frommhold who was a late entry into the race kept Ukrainain Anton Blokhin at arm's length on the swim before pushing away on the bike, finish in 3:54:07.
