Dylan McNeice of New Zealand led the swim in 20:30, earning a 30 seconds lead on Kevin Thornton of Ireland, 31 seconds on McNamee, 3:03 on Joe Skipper of Great Britain, and 4:44 on Jens Frommhold of Germany.
Thanks to a swift transition, McNamee led the field on to the bike and he and Skipper, McNeice and Thornton rode most of the way together. Skipper led into T2 thanks to a race-best 2:10:16 bike split that gave him a 3 seconds lead on McNeice, 35 seconds on Thornton, 39 seconds on McNamee, and 7 minutes on Frommhold.
McNamee quickly opened a 1:40 lead in the first 5 kilometers and settled matters with a race-best 1:12:23 half marathon. This brought him to the finish in 3:51:47, with a 3:24 margin of victory over Skipper (3rd-best 1:15:30 run), 5:03 over 3rd place McNeice (4th-best 1:17:11 run), and 7 minutes over 4th place Thornton (1:19:03 run). Jens Frommhold of Germany advanced to 5th with a 2nd-best 1:14:32 run that was 10:09 back of the winner.
