The female race was once more a showdown by ATRIAC. From start to finish they were in the lead, giving them yet another national title. TriGT followed, EFC-ITC came third.
With the fastest swim split the tone was set by ATRIAC. Valerie Barthelemy showed up, two days after racing in Bermuda, and scorched everything on the bike.
TriGT was the best of the rest. The youngsters perfectly divided their race and kept the pressure on ATRIAC. With the fastest run split they still came 45 seconds short of ATRIAC. Bronze was the game changer. 185-Cecemel-Sportoase lost over a minute to EFC-ITC after the swim, but the latter had a very slow transition. 185 came barging in, but eventually fell 5 seconds short for the podium. Fifth went to TRIBE.
