The race featured three race lengths in both men and women divisions \u2013 sprint, super sprint and Olympic.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Olympic course had a 1.5 kilometer (.93 mile) swim, a 40-kilometer (24.8-miles) bike ride and a 10-kilometer (6.2 mile) run.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
David Vanbolt finished first overall in the men’s super sprint with a time of 1 hour, 5 minutes and 1 second. Philippe Bouttefroy took first in the sprint (1:14:20) and Nicholas Klatt won the Olympic course (2:05:53).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
