Another death happened in the swimming portion of triathlon yesterday.
The day before, Ironman Will Proceed After Hudson River Is Declared Safe
Now Hudson River swimmer dies during Ironman race
I think the temperature was too high for triathlon.
does someone on the board recall the most recent death in an open water swim event only?

The demographics of triathletes and open water swimmers
I'd imagine that for any age bracket, there are major demographic differences between triathletes and open water swimmers, though maybe not any significant difference between triathletes and those pool swimmers who do an open water swim every now and then.
