In the women’s race, Christine (shown touching first in the photo on left) just barely out-touched Eva Fabian (shown touching a split second later). Since moving from sea-level in Minnesota to her home state of Colorado and training in the high altitude in the Rocky Mountains, Christine has really started to come on strong at the world level.
Despite her close loss – and even after she was red-carded while leading the world 10K championships – Eva’s smile continues to light up the shoreline.Her infectious enthusiasm for all things open water is contagious.
