This Sunday, February 7, the Children’s Triathlon could be held, which had been postponed due to the rain last Sunday. It was specially designed for boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 13 who dared to swim, ride a bike and end up running.
The event took place in the facilities of the Reconquista Tennis Club where the swimming part was given, and in the internal streets and sidewalks of the Plaza 25 de Mayo to run, taking advantage of their closure for vehicular traffic through the “Calles Active and Healthy “of the Reconquista Municipality, every Sunday from 7 am to 1 pm.
There were 52 “Triathletes” who were encouraged to the challenge of taking the test, distributed in categories every two years, 6 and 7, 8 and 9, 10 and 11 and 12 and 13. The same happened with the distances, each category had a distance according to age, bringing them closer to what appears in the official regulation.
Among the participants were representatives of the Reconquista Tennis Club, the Adelante Athletic Club and the town of Las Toscas, as well as the boys from the Reconquista Triathlon School.
It is worth clarifying that the test was fully formative in nature and all those who crossed the finish line received their medal and their snack, beyond not having classifications by time and positions by categories.
In the previous one, the day before, the technical talk was held where details were explained in the discipline changes of the same sport, which combines swimming, cycling and running.
