The 2003 Ford ITU New York City World Cup Duathlon [sic], a "dry-tri," because of the polluting effect of recent perpetual heavy rainfall in Manhattan, was staged completely within Central Park on Sunday, incidently making it easier on the spectator, and especially the spectator's eye. Who's designing the boys' and girls' costumes?

We [heart] Spain! Ivan Rana (Esp), described before the race as a favorite, came in eighth in the men's. Well, he's probably still a "favorite" for lots of us.

Pip Taylor (Aus) was second in the women's.
Hot, but except for the wonderful ribbons, the costume just can't compete with Ivan's.
