If for some this May 1 is synonymous with rest, for others it is rather an opportunity to make a great sport competition … running, cycling and swimming, the 34th edition of the business triathlon brought together more than 420 teams, this Thursday. For many, it was a great first.
It is the big finish of the competition: the swimmers of the Tahiti Fitness and Air Tahiti team come out of the water, at the same time. Victory is played with the sprint, very tight … It was finally Kahi Munos who passed the line first, we had to draw on all his reserves to get there. “”Fortunately, the guys pushed me to help me. We were really the two teams in the process of“Confides the sportsman of Team Tahiti Fitness.
In the uniform category, it was the municipal police officers of Papeete who first passed the finish line … “We prepared better, everyone in their corner but everyone had their little training program and knew what they had to do today“Explains one of the winning trio athletes.
But triathlon is not that competition, it is above all a pleasure to share with work colleagues. This year many new teams have come to try the experience. “This is our first race for all three“Confides one of the participants of the day.

Team spirit, sporting challenge and conviviality… After 34 editions, the Triathlon became an unmissable meeting of May 1, the Labor Day.
“This is another moment in the year when we can share moments with our colleagues and collaborators, not necessarily in our workplace. So, share other emotions, and we saw the craze between the teams. It was super beautiful to see”
Romain Antoine – Technical director of the Triathlon Federation
For the third consecutive year, the participation rate has reached a new record: 1,260 athletes registered today. A record to beat, maybe next year.
