McMahon, of Switzerland, finished the 500-meter swim, 20-kilometer bike ride and 5-kilometer run in 59 minutes, 40 seconds.
University of Hawai'i student Matt Seymour captured the men's overall division in 55:56. He is training for the Collegiate National Championships, April 24, at Lake Havasu, N.M.
McMahon is in Hawai'i to do her final training phase for the World Cup in Ishigaki, Japan, on April 11. A good performance there would put her on the Olympic team once again and give her the opportunity to defend in Athens.
"It's cold in Switzerland and I need to train in a different type of setting," McMahon said.

UH tourney washed out: Rain canceled yesterday's games of the University of Hawai'i's Invitational softball tournament at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium.
Five games were scheduled for yesterday's final round of the seven-team tournament, which defending national champion California was declared the winner with a 5-0 record.
Northwestern and Texas finished at 3-1 each, while Hawai'i was 2-3. Tokyo Women's College of Physical Education was 1-3, while Utah and Nittaidai were both 1-4.
The Rainbow Wahine (16-16) will travel to the Stanford Classic, which runs Thursday through Sunday. They will play Brigham Young on Thursday, Illinois and Stanford on Friday and UC Riverside on Saturday. Based on their pool record, they will play an opponent to be determined Sunday.
