573 athletes took part in the third edition of the AronaMen 112.9 Triathlon. A torrid day accompanied the participants all over the courses, but it was a great race.

The individual race started at 7 am. The first athlete out of the water was Gabriele Mazzetta, who eventually was forced to withdraw from the race in the run leg. During the bike several athletes took the leadership, but in the end it was De Paolis who established himself as the leader of the race and never looked back. His winning time was 4:11:24, behind him Bruno Pasqualini and Simone Mantolini.

Sara Dossena put on a show in the women’s race, especially in the run leg which she completed in a stunning time of 1:19:40, even faster than the men’s. Martina Dogana claimed second and Monica Cibin was the other athlete to complete the podium.

Great work of the Cuneo Triathlon who organized the event, thanks to the volunteers who supported the athletes.

14.000 glasses, 2,000 litres of water, 800 litres of salts, 200 kg of bananas, 1,000 peaches, 45 kg of ice-cream, 1,200 ice lollies, 1,000 litres of cold tea, 800 bars and 700 gels.

Thanks to the Arona’s Sport Council Member Federico Monti who coordinated all the volunteers on the run course.
