Urban Epic athletes were treated to a beautiful day and calms waters as the first wave
of racers hit the cold Atlantic Ocean at 7:50AM. Professional triathlete Mike Caiazzo won the elite wave with a time of 2:19:58, while Becky Lavalle took first among the elite women.
Since the thirteen athletes participating in the elite wave were asked to swim a different course than the age group athletes (a late race start resulted in difficult currents), Tri-Maine elected to record age group results separately from the elite wave.
Among age group participants, Paul Noone of Worchester, MA took the men's overall with a time of 2:17:58, while Kristin Marvin of Ottawa, Canada took the women's overall with a time of 2:31:08.

dude...lets not forget the amatuer athletes raced a WHOLE different course. their swim was "cut" and thus was ~8-10min short.
