The event in a few words
Today we're shining a light on the triathlon, and not just any one! ๐ก We're talking about the LIGHT ON TRI Woippy**! In May, you'll need to be well trained to come and discover the events the organizers have cooked up for you! ๐ You have a date in Lorraine, in the Grand Est! ๐๏ธ On the program: swimming, cycling and running... ๐ฅต Routine if you're already a triathlete, but we had to enlighten the little newbies in the field ๐ค. Yes indeed! Here, no fuss, the LIGHT ON TRI Woippy** is for everyone, even those who have never tasted the joys of swim-bike and bike-run transitions ๐ . But why does this event appeal so much? ๐ค
Well Jammy โ๏ธ, it's because here, we won't be talking about Ironman or Ironman 70.3 distances ๐ฆธ. No superheroes in sight here; starting from Woippy Plage, two formats are offered: S or M. Even though you won't need Iron Man's armor to perform ๐, we still advise you to put on a wetsuit before jumping into the water! ๐ฅถ Ready? 3, 2, 1... Go! After flexing your arms on the start line ๐ช, you'll have to swim 500 m on the S course and 1.5 km on the M, with a great Australian exit between the two loops as a bonus so you can be cheered on by the roaring crowd! ๐ฅณ As soon as you get out of the water, it will be time to hop on your bike and ride 17 km with 230 m D+ or 40 km and 680 m D+. A little subtlety of the route: a 2 km climb at 7.5% has slipped into the course ๐ฌ. Don't worry, it will serve as a warm-up for your calves, which will still have to hold you up for the final event of the race: 5.6 km or 10 km. Don't count on beating your personal best on this one โฑ๏ธ, and if you manage it, we'll tip our Finishers cap to you! ๐งข
After all that effort, wouldn't you like a little comfort? ๐ That works out well, because you'll be a stone's throw from Metz and only 45 minutes from Nancy ๐, the perfect opportunity to go and visit Lorraine! ๐บ๏ธ So after visiting the Metz Cathedral โช and its many historic monuments (it's not for nothing that the city holds the title of Euromรฉtropole), you can settle down on a terrace, enjoy the sun ๐ and the local gastronomy! What could be better than a good quiche Lorraine to recover from all the excitement? ๐
Come set the table ๐ฝ๏ธ and light the fire, light it up at the LIGHT ON TRI Woippy**! ๐ฅ
