Racer drowns in Mexico

41 year old Eduardo Delgado Rosas of Mexico drowned Thursday during the second stage of the Extreme Adventure Hidalgo. Rosas was swimming across Laguna Azeteca when he was seen disappearing under the water by a racer from team Smartwool Mexico who was swimming nearby.

The swim was only 1 kilometer...some teams finished in just 30 minutes. Racers were not required to wear PFD's, but were to stay within 100 meters of one another. Reports seem to indicate this rule was not enforced and most teams spread out quickly.

More information as it is made available by race management.
