The very first multi sport event I did was an Olympic duathlon. There was one other person in my age group. It was a really hot day. We had an epic battle on the 2nd run(like a couple of VW bugs at the dragstrip) until he succumbed to the heat and sat down under a shade tree for a rest. I won the race but got some type of time penalty which put him first. So, I got first, then regulated to 2nd and also last in my age group. Usually it's BOP.
