I just hung on and did what I could in transition. Once you then get onto the run you never really feel good after a bike like that, so I died after the first lap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Three days removed from his 27th birthday, Victoria\u2019s Sharpe was seventh out of 750 metre beach start swim. Grinding through the first half of the six-lap bike course, Sharpe maintained pace with a large pack of 29 riders that strung out along steep climbs and hairpin turns on the bike course along Edmonton\u2019s River Valley. The lanky member of Triathlon Canada\u2019s National Performance Centre in Victoria was ninth out of second transition, but the pace was too much, and he dropped back into the pack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI died early in that run, but when you have every square inch of the course saying, \u2018Go Canada\u2019 it lifts you to another level,\u201d added Sharpe. \u201cI used the crowd and the other athletes around me to keep me going and went all out to the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spain\u2019s Mario Mola masterfully sprinted his way to victory with a time of 51:15. Mola dropped Norway\u2019s Kristian Blummenfelt on the final charge into Hawrelak Park. The Norwegian settled for second spot at 51:18. Australia\u2019s Jacob Birtwhistle claimed the bronze at 51:22.<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s Tyler Mislawchuk (Oak Bluff, Man.) also had a solid swim where he came out of the water in eighth. Staying with the large pack on the bike, he pulled out of race in the first lap on the run course.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, it was a similar story in the women\u2019s race. After coming out of the water in the middle of the field, Joanna Brown (Carp, Ont.) battled the whole way. Brown was the lone Canadian woman to finish, crossing the line in 23rd spot at 59:58.<\/p>\n<p>Vicky Holland, of Great Britain, won not only for the second time in Edmonton, but it was also her second title of the season. The 2016 Olympic bronze medallist led wire-to-wire en route to clocking a golden pace of 56:51.<\/p>\n<p>Australia\u2019s Ashleigh Gentle was the lone athlete outside of Great Britain in the top-five. Gentle claimed the silver at 57:02. Georgia Taylor-Brown, of Great Britain, ran to the bronze medal with a time of 57:08.<\/p>\n<p>Amelie Kretz, of Blainville, Que., did not finish the race.<\/p>\n<p>The world\u2019s best triathletes will be back on the start line Saturday when the Mixed Team Relay takes centre stage in Edmonton.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.triathlon.org\/results\/result\/2018_itu_world_triathlon_edmonton\">Complete Results: <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT TRIATHLON CANADA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Triathlon Canada is the governing body of the sport in the country.
