Swift on their feet, Brownlee and Crisanto Grajales from Mexico ditched the competition on the first run lap, getting to the crystal clear waters of Cozumel first. However despite having a 15-second deficit, Varga, who has led out of the water at every World Triathlon Series race this year, and Zaferes caught and passed both Brownlee and Grajales.
Brownlee managed to stay with them to head out for the second run together and it wasn’t long before he took the lead and stayed there, with Varga crossing the finish line next, while Zaferes won bronze.
“Definitely my first ever run, swim, run,” Brownlee said. “I really enjoyed it, it was hard, really hard. It’s so hot, the running was tough. The other guys went off really hard and I thought ‘I better go with them’. It was weird, it’s not like I was tired, but I felt like I was in oxygen depth the first kilometre after the swim.”
