Brazil's Igor Amorelli proved once again he is the Brazils' premier distance athlete once again in Palmas. Using his patented strong swim and bike combination, Amorelli carried a seven-minute advantage heading into T2 and cruised the run for the win unchallenged.
Kelsey Withrow (USA) established a one minute lead on Bea Neres (BRA) out of the water of the Rio Tocantins. The pair would eventually be hooked up on the bike and would dismount their bikes together leaving the race to be determined on the run. It would be Neres that would prevail taking the victory by a winning margin of 5:31 over Withrow.
