Man Dies in NYC Triathlon
At around 8 A.M. Sunday morning a 32 year old man competing in the New York City Triathlon died after being pulled unconscious from the Hudson River by medical staff patrolling the water who were flagged down by other participants.
Event director Bill Burke said rescuers pulled the man from the river about three-quarters of the way through the 0.93-mile swim portion. The swim is the first of the event's three phases, and is followed by a 24.8-mile bicycle ride and a 6.2-mile run.
Since May, at least three other people have died during the swim leg of a triathlon.
