"Jonathan Herring (1:01.23) and Neil De Ste Croix (1:03.23) rounded off the top three in the men's field.Robinson successfully defended her women's crown after covering the race course in 1:07.38."I was pleased with my performance," Robinson said. "It was definitely warm, I could even feel it on the bike and heading into the run."So it was nice that it was a short sprint today and not anything longer because it's hot."Laurie Orchard (1:11.03) and Emma O'Connell (1:13.24) finished second and third respectively.
