Griffin was runner-up in Puerto Rico’s Ironman 70.3 San Juan.
Despite being two minutes behind the leaders at the end of his 1.9km swim, Griffin fought back brilliantly on the cycle (90-plus km) and the run.
He will now focus on the 70.3 Oceanside in California in two weeks before heading back to Australia for a big block of training in the lead-up to the Australian Ironman in Port Macquarie in early May.
The 2006-07 Sport Star of the Year could not be at Friday night’s bankmecu-backed The Bendigo Advertiser-WIN Television Sports Star of the Year awards presentation at Bendigo Town Hall.
