Trent Grimsey And Pilar Geijo Win Magog 2K Sprint Race
From Magog, Québec, Canada. Trent Grimsey (shown on left) and Pilar Geijo won the 2K sprint race at the Traversée Internationale du Lac Memphrémagog. Trent won comfortably after picking up the pace in the second half. Andrea Volpini got second with Petar Stoychev third. Peter wore only a brief swimsuit which is much different swimwear than his usual armor. This was a simple tip that Petar is saving his best for Saturday’s 34K race.
Pilar gave a brief recap of your brief dip in Lac Memphrémagog.
