Entering tonight’s race just shy of the center lane, Blake Pieroni knew he would have to turn in a stellar time to take down Zane Grothe. In fact, it took over three seconds faster than his prelims swim to finish the job at the 2019 TYR Pro Series in Bloomington.
The two went stroke for stroke in the final 50, with Pieroni (1:47.25) coming out victorious. Grothe conceded first with an impressive time of 1:47.90, over a second faster than sprinting stalwart, Zach Apple (1:49.49).
Patrick Callan touched in at fourth with a time of 1:49.62, the last man under 1:50.00. Jorge Iga tried to chase him down, settling for sixth and a 1:50.78. Grant House out-touched Liam Bresette (1:51.30) for sixth, clocking in at 1:51.15. Andrej Barna rounded out the event with a time of 1:52.73.
