But it was also a day of tragedy. Two participants died after being extracted from the water during the swimming leg of the triathlon.
Spectators flocked to the Santos and De Bakke beach areas, many holding signs of support, others with cheeky messages cheering the athletes on.
The swimming portion of the triathlon started at Santos Beach just before 07:00 that morning, when the athletes took to the water to start stretch of a 1.9km.
