Race Conditions
Even if it was the first time a WTC race, the race was organized by Challenge on pretty much the same course. It was always a very fast course (course rating of 22:11), and this year was similar with an adjustment of 24:54. Both the bike (15:01) and the run (8:11) were fast.
Male Race Results
Jens Petersen-Bach had to uncork a pretty special 2:45 marathon to run down Iron-Rookie Henrik Hyldelund:
