St. Louis’ triathlon guru, John Lynch, sends word that Olympian and Parkway South grad Sarah Haskins debuts this weekend in the World Cup event in Madrid.
Sarah’s getting a relatively late start on the season because of surgery to repair nerve damage in her lower leg. The race will be broadcast live, though you’ll have to pay about $7.50 and get up about 4:30 a.m. St. Louis time to see it.
Another St. Louis pro, Jillian Petersen, will be sidelined for a bit after falling from her bike and breaking a collarbone. She was 37th on the World Cup circuit, the top pro level of the sport, and the second-ranked American before the accident, which occurred when she was defending her Pan American title.
