Pedersen clocked an overall time of 1:00:24 to finish ahead of American Kirsten Kasper and Austria's Lisa Perterer , who were locked in a tight battle for second place towards the end.Kasper was first out of the water in just under 10 minutes and was at the head of a 20-woman lead pack on the bike, but she lost ground to a dominant Pedersen on the run.
"My legs were feeling good and I was feeling comfortable and when I turned round I realised there was nobody close."I was injured for the start of the qualification period for Tokyo but who knows what might happen... I'll keep my fingers crossed." Thirty-five athletes will compete in the women's triathlon at the July 23-Aug. 8 Tokyo Olympics, with 26 of them determined by the individual world rankings.
