That indeed proved to be the case. Dubrick led out of the swim one minute ahead of Laundry but by the second lap Laundry had a strong lead on the bike over the chase group coming into T2 first. However, the heat was to be Laundry\u2019s undoing. Dubrick proved to be able to better handle the 30C heat an 85% humidity, taking the lead by the second lap and ultimately the win 3:47:10 nearly four minutes ahead of Laundry, who crossed the line in 3:50:56. Justin Riele (USA) completed the all-American podium 3:53:47.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a great race, I was really happy with it,\u201d said Dubrick. \u201cI was solo on the swim, I didn\u2019t really want to bring anyone with me and I thought it was a big group on the bike but we split apart as it was really hard. There was a huge cross wind on the far side of the course and we had three laps of that. Jackson was up the road and I knew I couldn\u2019t give him too much time or I wouldn\u2019t be able to catch him on the run. I got on the run feeling good and let the legs do the talking!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Marc Dubrick Takes Inaugural Win at Challenge Salinas\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w15G2tzN6gw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In the women\u2019s race, all three main contenders came out of the water together with Margareta Bicanova (SVK) leading and Bravo and Margie Santimaria (ITA) neck and neck just two seconds behind. Bravo and Santimaria quickly road away on the bike, riding together until the second lap when Bravo broke away. Onto the run an for a while it looked like Santimaria would challenge Bravo\u2019s lead, closing the gap to just 20 seconds. However, the local athlete and three-times Olympian made the most of her hometown advantage and further increased the gap to take the win in convincing style in 4:21:14. Santimaria came in second in 4:28:36 Bicanova was third in 4:49:02.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so happy to win today here in my home of Ecuador and in the first Challenge Famiy race in Ecuador,\u201d said Bravo. \u201cThe swim was really nice as it is like a pool with warm water.
