This guy was first out of the water. According to the results, that means he must be relay swimmer Matthew Dixon. His time of 17:23 is pretty fast.

Sean, there are very few top triathletes who do not have a strong swimming background. I've seen a few runners or cyclists who got pretty fast in the water, but that's not so common. If you are a swimmer who can run you're in good shape. Time-trialing on a bike is a skill that can be acquired with good coaching. A good example is a swimmer turned triathlete from Texas.....Lance Armstrong!
