On a rainy and cold day the best European triathletes met to compete in this race consisting of 1,5 km of swimming on Lake Schwarzee, followed by 43,2 km of the cycling circuit to finish with 4 laps (10 km) of race to foot.

 

In the second lap of swimming a group of 3 was formed in the lead that was not reached by the best until the middle of the cycling sector, where Nicola Spirig y Lisa Perterer They were at the head of the persecuted group until they reached the head.
