From Toulouse to Hawaii, triathletes over hill and dale!
This month, three licensees of the Triathlon club Carcassonne went to the Great motte for the end-of-season swimming ritual. The event, dear to Jean-Dominique Fourment and Eric Rémi, also saw the participation of Catherine Autret. If our (big) boys took advantage of their swimming skills, by doing a little more on the running part, Catherine was more regular and won a well-deserved victory after having led the women’s category from start to finish. fight.
A ToulouseJean-Michel Caverivière took part in a run and bike with his son, in the beautiful arteries of the pink city, completely won over to the triathletic cause due to the organization of an international cup for the discipline on the banks of Garonne.
Closer to us, the Capitelles trailevent dear to the president of the TCC Véro Bedmar and her parents André and Chantal, saw a beautiful delegation from Carcassonne do battle on the steep paths around Villegailhenc: victory for Guillaume Gubert, a specialist, and very good performances by Guillaume Dewarvin , Sébastien Olivier, the still young Jean Mimi Favier and Fabrice Ribardière, whose baptism of fire in trail running.
Nathalie Olasagasti took the start of a monument: the mythical Hawaii Ironman for 3.8 km of swimming, 180 km of cycling and 42 km of running. As a seasoned athlete, Nathalie was able to prepare with great motivation and meticulousness in order to put all the assets on her side: the jet lag, the suffocating weather, the demanding relief but also the pressure inherent in this major event does not produce the easy task, far from it. Victim of some physical problems, Nat will still be able to pull out of the game after 12 hours of sometimes painful effort, unfortunately. Hats off to this participation, her determination but also her optimism and her smile which testifies, despite the pitfalls, to the pleasure felt.
Finally, club coach Titouan Jarry-Maris took part in his first southern event. Short of preparation, due to a particularly intense function price, he took a flattering 7th place in a particularly tough Haut-Garonne duathlon.
