Does anyone know what the DNF rate was?.Not bad, just under 10%, however 20% didn't start according to the results page.
2675 Athletes
543 DNS = 20.29%
207 DNF = 9.71%
2 DQ
I was volunteering at the mid-point of the swim and so many people stopped and complained about not being able to breathe because of the altitude. About 20 struggling with foggy goggles and a handful swimming without goggles. Two stripped their wet suits mid-swim.
Thanks for the info. I'm surprised the DNF rate was not higher. The times when compared to last year are incredibly slow. The heat played such a huge factor and the suffering was so visible on the run that I was sure the DNF rate would be higher. I guess people push through!
