Siri Lindley won her third straight ITU World Cup race and Ryan Bolton won his first Ironman title during multi-sport racing on Sunday.

Also, in Everett, Wash., Greg Watson and Desiree Ficker took the titles at the Dannon Duathlon series race.

Lindley (Boulder, Colo.), the top-ranked female Olympic distance triathlete in the world, followed up victories in Edmonton, Alberta, and Corner Brook, Newfoundland, with a win in Tiszaujvaros, Hungary, defeating second-place Lenka Radova of the Czech Republic by 11 seconds.

It was Lindley's third straight victory at Tiszaujvaros, which had quite a crowd for the event and a difficult 1.5K swim, 40K bike and 10K run course.

Lindley stayed with a large pack on the technical six-lap bike course. She came off the bike in 18th and had to make a run through the pack. She finished in 1 hour, 57 minutes, 16 seconds. Tracy Hargreaves-Looze of Australia placed third in 1:57:24.

Laurie Hug (Ambler, Pa.) had a strong swim and bike, but fell behind on the run and placed 37th
