Alistair Brownlee recorded his second successive victory in the Dextro Energy Triathlon ITU World Championship Series by winning in Washington DC.

The 21-year-old Bingley Harrier followed up his success in Madrid to move ahead of Russian rival Dmitry Polyansky at the top of the series rankings.

“It was great to have another good result at a world championship race,” said Horsforth-based Brownlee.

“It was a hard race, with a windy bike ride, and I really had to push on the run to get rid of the other guys.

“I kept looking behind me on the run and they were still there, before finally on the last lap they weren’t.”
