“The swim was difficult due to the strong currents, but it was a great race,” said Marius.

He said the road cycle was good, although some of the cyclists found the wet conditions a bit difficult. “The run along the beachfront promenade was amazing,” he said.

Marius completed it in a time of 1:29:41, Rethe 1:31:14 and Wilko 1:44:13.
