In partial times we must highlight the great marathon achieved by Lisa Roberts 3: 02: 11, which was the 4º best time, only surpassed by Carlos Aznar, Timothy Van Houtem and Morten Brammer. Tondeur also marked a large partial, with 3: 04: 23.

As regards the cycling segment, Laura Siddall it was the fastest, with 5: 44: 50, using 8 more minutes than Carlos Aznar, third in goal. Finally in swimming, Margie Santimaria, who was the fifth woman to finish and 21st overall, she swam the 3.800m in 54'39”, only surpassed by 4 men.
