Sad news...

Apparently, one of the competitors (age 38) rolled over on his back and quit swimming in the surf portion. He was pulled from the water, but passed away. Not sure if he passed in the water or shortly thereafter. They suspect a heart attackkk

What is with the triathlete's keeling over while in action? So sad....weird how often it is happening now.

The guy was from my neck of town...Roswell, GA...just north of Atlanta. He died in the ambulance. No known heart issues in his family...
