The event also featured and 800m swim, where 12 year old Karissa Bae was not only the first female, but first overall out of the water. Bae outpaced all others, including perrenial triathlete Jude Baker and last years winner Rachel Mutter. 15 year old Jake Bustamante, an all around waterman, was first male out of the water in the 800m swim.
