Javier Cardona, from the Ibiza Half Triathlon Sports Association, and Irati Matas, from the Casablanca Stadium, have been proclaimed this afternoon Balearic triathlon champions within the framework of the eighth edition of the Illa de Formentera Triathlon, which has been held in Es Pujols, with the participation of almost 400 runners between the Olympic and Sprint categories. Matas was also the first to cross the finish line and was awarded this eighth edition of the event, something that Cardona, who finished fifth, could not achieve. The absolute winners of the long test were the Parrilla brothers, Ismael and Alberto, who entered hand in hand, with a time of 2:10:40 ”.
Before the Olympic triathlon, in which the athletes had to cover 1,500 meters swimming, 40 by bicycle and 10 kilometers running, the Sprint category test was held, about half the distance in the three tests. In this category, the absolute victory has been for Jorge Morcillo, from Ecosport Alcobendas, with a time of 1h04’09 ”, while Ainara Minaya, from G.D. Presumed, with a mark of 1h17’02 ”.
The test, which this year reached its eighth edition with a record of the participants, after its suspension last year due to the pandemic, has once again been a success of participation and the runners have enjoyed magnificent weather conditions and also in the sea to give the best and offer a magnificent show that has been followed by a large audience in Es Pujols. The event has had the institutional sponsorship of the Consell de Formentera and the Government, through the Agència d’Estratègia Turística de les Illes Balears (AETIB), and the main sponsorship of Trasmapi.
