A triathlete was bitten by an alligator during training. He suffered an arm injury but managed to break free by using a defensive tactic. The man grabbed the alligator's head and used his thumbs to inflict pain, causing the alligator to release its grip.

Emergency responders treated the wound, and the man is recovering. His team members were able to exit the water safely after he warned them.

Further details about the incident are available from news sources, including accounts from the triathlete himself and reports from news outlets.
