Spear and Swim were the difference in The Sprint.
The women’s top four were all super close going into the swim. Sabrina, a former D1 swimmer, took the lead in the first part of the swim. She missed her spear, though, which allowed Klara to hit hers and take a big lead, while Annie, Cass, and most of the women’s field also missed and ended up with a lot of burpees. Sabrina built up a cushion for second during the second swim, and Annie started to gain ground on the run, closing strong to finish a close third.
