Yvan Jarrige (FRA) got out of the water with the leaders and came off the bike in second, 1:16 down to Paulo Da Silva (BRA). The Frenchman looked the fresher of the two front runners heading out on the run and would eventually lock down the lead by 10 kms and go on to capture the title with a 3:56:35 time.
It was a wire-to-wire win for defending champion Pamella Oliveira (BRA), where a three-minute lead out of the swim turned into an 11-minute lead off the bike. The Brazilian was never under and real threat for the entire run and paced herself to the finish line in 4:28:04.
