Suzhou Triathlon Association Was Established
On September 1, the Suzhou Triathlon Association held its founding conference in Suzhou News Building, and the China Triathlon Association called to congratulate.
Triathlon is a general term for multiple related sports with swimming, cycling, running or a combination of two of them as the basic competition form. The standard distance is 1.5 kilometers for swimming, 40 kilometers for cycling, and 10 kilometers for running. Athletes must complete the above distances continuously. Lin Bin, the new president of the Suzhou Triathlon Association, said: "It is the infinite charm of triathlon that brings us enthusiasts together, sweating and laughing together."
In 2021, Lin Bin and a group of like-minded partners began the preparations for the Suzhou Triathlon Association. During the preparation period of the association, the Dushu Lake Crossing event was carried out for three consecutive years, and training competitions and exhibition competitions were organized to try out the water, which brought together a large number of triathlon enthusiasts. At the just-concluded 4th Triathlon Black Training Competition, 52 triathletes swam 217.8 kilometers, cycled 35,871 kilometers, and ran 13,260 kilometers, showing the intensity and excitement of triathlon.
It is reported that the Suzhou Triathlon Association currently has nearly 100 registered members, including more than 20 young triathletes. Suzhou triathlon has achieved good results in professional sports performance, competition activities, and the popularization of young triathlons. In September this year, Suzhou will form a team in the name of the association for the first time to participate in the Iron Cube Triathlon in Guangde, Anhui. At present, the number of applicants for the standard triathlon, half-distance triathlon, and long-distance triathlon has exceeded 80, which is the largest number of applicants among all participating teams.
