TRIATHLON 2015 ยท ABU DHABI 12 NEW KIDS IN TOWN MOLA, MURRAY & LUIS MAKE PODIUM In the men's race, Mario Mola earned his second- ever WTS title with a time of 52:32 when he broke away from a three-man pack that included Vincent Luis who started off the season with a silver and Richard Murray, who earned the bronze in the Series opener sprint distance event. Saving it all for the run, Mola held a consistent performance throughout the first two disciplines until a kilometer out on the two-lap run when he made a final push for home to the finish line. Clocking the fastest 5km run split in WTS history, Mola secured the top podium spot. "I felt really good throughout the whole triathlon," Mola said. "In the run I put 110 percent down and did all I could. I tried to put the hammer down before the sprint so I could hold on to it until the end."
