Zaferes closed her day with a 34:46 run split. “I am very happy that I had a better swim than last year,” said Zaferes after crossing the finish line. “Inspired by Flora on her race last race, I just wanted to commit in the first few laps. We just kept pushing in the 10 laps, which put us in a great position for the run.” Photo: Tommy Zaferes/Triathlon.org
