Race Conditions
While the bike course in Barcelona was as fast as is typical for the Spanish course, both the swim and the run have been slower than in previous years.
Patrik Nilsson had some mechanical issues on the bike and lost some time, he still managed to go sub-8 and post a new course record. He also posted a new run course record while Johann Ackermann’s 4:12 is a new bike course record. On the female side, Astrid Stienen’s 4:40 was also a new bike course record.
