Johannes Moldan (DEU) put in a hard effort on the bike and was rewarded with six minute advantage on the competition as the German heading out transition. The defending champion, the ageless Viktor Zyemtsev (UKR), 44, was off the bike in third and facing a deficit of over eight minutes. Moldan, who faced a long challenge of recovering from glandular fever this year, hit the run uncertain of his running legs. Zyemtsev put in a brilliant run but came up two minutes short, as Moldan crossed the finish line for the win.
Helle Fredericksen (DEN) put on a race clinic in Estonia on the weekend. The Danish star exited the water with a 4:12 advantage, and that would be as close to the leader as the women's field would get for the remainder of the race. Fredericksen dismounted her bike in fifth place overall and went on to claim the title by a gap of over 13 minutes on her closest rival.
