(Philadelphia, PA) June 6, 2011 - Kestrel's Andy Potts is simply on fire: 2 wins in back-to-back weekends, 4 wins for the 2011 season. He's a force to be reckoned with.
Potts earned his latest victory Sunday at the 1.5-mile swim, 18-mile bike, and 8-mile run from the notorious Alcatraz island prison toSan Franciso's Golden Gate Park for his 4th Alcatraz title (previous wins in 2007, 2008, and 2009).
Potts finished the course in 1 hour, 59 minutes, 45 seconds, winning by a margin of 34 seconds over second-place Bevan Dougherty.
The highlight of the course for Potts was his race-best 46:35 bike ride, where he overtook the field on his Kestrel 4000 and went into the run with a 2-minute lead. "Andy is out-of-this-world talented!" said Kestrel Brand Manager Steve Harad. "It's an honor for us to see him ride the 4000, and it's carrying him to some major victories." "He's in such great form, I can't wait to see what he does next," added Harad of Potts, who is starting to talk about a potential Olympic run.
