A former Olympian in water polo, Julie Swail Ertel schooled the younger girls on the importance of fast transitions during the US Olympic Triathlon Team Trials in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Ertel took the lead with a super-quick transition off the bike and extended her lead on the run, winning in 2:02:21 over Sarah Haskins Kortuem (2:02.50) and Sarah Groff (2:02.59).

Ertel joins Laura Bennett as the second member of the women's US Olympic triathlon team.
