If you called Erin Densham an Olympic favorite a year ago, you’d likely get a lot of puzzled reaction. That is not the case today. Densham is coming on at the right time and has won several big races in 2012, including the final ITU WTS Olympic warm-up event in Hamburg. Her story is one of triumph and a comeback, as she endured a brutal heart surgery in 2009 and multiple injuries and illnesses. Photo: Delly Carr/Triathlon.org
