The first triathlon tournament was held on the 30th after taking measures to prevent the infection of the new coronavirus in an attempt to appeal the fishing ports and beaches in Shizuoka City as tourism resources.
This triathlon tournament was held for the first time in an attempt to appeal to the Mochimune fishing port in Suruga Ward, Shizuoka City.
According to Shizuoka City, etc., the event will be held one year later than originally planned due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, limiting the number of participants to about 170 and thoroughly implementing infection control measures such as wearing masks except during competition. It was done after doing.
The players were divided into three groups and started the beach in turn, and first they swam 750 meters.
After that, I ran through a 20km course that passes through fishing ports by bicycle while taking measures against heat stroke such as drinking water diligently, and finally returned to the park along the coast through the mouth of the Abe River for 5km. I ran the course.
Yuichi Takahashi, a gold medalist at the Athens Paralympics marathon who completed the race, said, "The triathlon was a debut match. While various tournaments were canceled, I am very happy that the tournament was held with proper infection control measures. Shizuoka city is like a tropical country. There was a nice atmosphere and it was nice to run. "
