From North Augusta, S.C.: A triathlon coach was attacked by a 4-to 5-foot alligator during a practice swim. The coach, Jonathan Bruney, was in the water with his athletes as part of a "race rehearsal" for the Ironman Augusta in September. The group was swimming in the Savannah River to simulate the upcoming event and help the athletes build confidence.

The incident occurred around 10 to 10:30 a.m. near a boat ramp. Bruney, a 31-year-old coach, says his instinct and training helped him during the attack. Further details about the incident are available from the source.
