Triathlon de Belfort - L and M distances - 29 May 2016
by Alexandra Messenger
While most of the Expatries group were racing Garmin Paris Triathlon, Manola, Alexandra, Guillaume, Vince and Ella the Brizon Macotte dog, were off to the green of Belfort for a TRI tourism tour at the Presqu’ile de Malsaucy !

Despite their anxiety of the unknown and to possibly get a storm during their race as forecasted, the guys appeared pretty relax before getting last into the water at 11 am with finally super warm sun!
The 400 participants started their 2 loops of 950m in the lake and Vince were first out of the water in 34 min followed by Guillaume. They rushed at T1 to get their stuff heading straight to the ballon d’Alsace ! Until the big ascent, the segment was a bit like Vexin with many “coup de cul” ! There had been a big surprise of having a small part of the segment modified at km20 causing some accidents!
