The women's field featured 5 of the top 20 women in the world, according to the ITU's ranking system. Sweden's Lisa Norden is number-2.

But it's hard to beat the Sarahs out of the water, and that held true today. Groff and Haskins (#17 and #6 in the world respectively), really know how to find each other during the swim. Only Amanda Stevens—a U.S. pro who in her scrounge time eschewed TV sitcoms to became a medical doctor—was the only one to stay with them.

But Julie Dibens was not so far back in T1 that the field's best bike rider couldn't motor herself up to the leaders. And, she did. It was Haskins and Dibens together at T2, but also lurking just tens of seconds back was Norden.

The race was formed and sorted by the time the runners had their running shoes tied. It was Haskins and Norden, may the best girl win. The best girl had been Norden all year long. Only Australia's Emma Moffatt can reliably outrun Norden, and then it's usually by a handful of seconds only.

But Haskins was on Norden's shoulder at mile-2. Around the cone at halfway, Haskins was still there.

At mile-4 it was Norden. And, Haskins. The Swede could not shake the Midwesterner, who was Missouri high school state champion both as a swimmer and a runner.

But as the finish line approached, Norden could not afford to see how much closing footspeed the Yank possessed, and, she opened a 50-meter lead, and Haskins was unable to respond.

Both were winners on the day, however, as Norden took the race but Haskins the Toyota series title. Julie Dibens finished third, Sarah Groff fourth.
