Sunday the 16th of March was the Triathlon, many of the participants from Saturday had an inscription for this race as well.
Like the day before, the weather was hot, and the participants would have agreed that the swimming part of 1.5 km would have been at the end of the race. Unluckily, the start signal for the swimming part was given at 07:30 AM near the port of Thong Sala.
From the beginning on, it was a Brazilian, which took the head in the race, and never abandoned. The same person finished yesterday at the forth place. Respect for Mr. Stephane Vinicus, (from Bangkok).
Today, he finished the race in 2 hours and 20 minutes, (detail of the three specialties: Swimming, 1.5 km – 21 min. and 51 sec., 40 km bicycling – 1 hour 16 min. and 16 sec., 10 km running – 42 min. and 8 sec.).
The second place was for a Malaysian, 2 hours 23 min. and 15 sec. And the third place, again a Malaysian, (the number one from the day before), 2 hours 26 min. and 31 sec.
The forth to the ninth place had been taken by Thais only.
A great honor for the Thai females in this race, they have beaten quit some of the male competitors.
There were also a few young participants, which had a special category. They were courageous.
For this Triathlon, only one French. Bravo to Patrice, which came from Bangkok. Even if he said that he wasn’t satisfied by his score, he did great.
For a first time, it was great, maybe in the future it would be nice if there were more participants and public, and shut the track for other vehicles.
A great thanks to Mr. Stephane Vinicus, the winner, from Brasilia, of this Triathlon for his kindness and the time he took for Phangan-guide.com
