Event comments:

over all compatitors 273 is mens only. i heard there was an accident in the water; a novice male triathlete may have passed away, as he was carried out of the water, limp and blue, and CPR was performed for a few minutes before ambulance came. the ambulance prevented me from entering the transition area after my bike, but it was only for 30 seconds or so.
