Redefining Triathlon For Every Athlete

Race images from Challenge Peguera-Mallorca

As you’ll likely have seen from our report on Saturday’s race (HERE), the hugely popular Challenge Peguera-Mallorca once again attracted a bumper field to the Balearic Island, the first of three major international triathlon events there over consecutive weeks.

Quality racing in the Pro events too, with ITU Long Distance Triathlon World Champion, Pablo Dapena Gonzalez taking the men’s title, while Great Britain’s Lucy Gossage had a great ‘holiday’ race to add to her many successes already this season.

Once again we benefit from the photography skills of José Luis Hourcade (www.joseluishourcade.com), who continues his European tour of triathlon events which provides us with a great insight into these great events.

Check out some great images from the race below
