The Triathlon Club Châtellerault is ready. And it was not the cancellation of the Open XS race, due to lack of participants, which dampened the enthusiasm of Alexandre Jeffray and the nearly eighty volunteers mobilized this Sunday for a major event. One of the most important organized by the Châtelleraudais club, with the hosting of the second round of the French championship for Division 1 and Division 2 duathlon clubs. “It’s a Source of prideassures the president of the TCC. The Ligue Nouvelle-Aquitaine was looking for structures capable of organizing federal events and after talking about it within the club, we positioned ourselves and our application was accepted. »
The Châtelleraudais club has therefore been preparing, since last August, to receive, this weekend, the French duathlon elite, divided into 64 teams of five elements, among which we will find the women of Stade Poitevin in D2, eighth in the first stage last week in Noyon (Oise).
Juliette Lucet and her partners will progress almost at home on a 5 km course on foot, followed by 20 km by bike before finishing with 2.5 km of running. “The cycling part is rollingdescribes Alexandre Jeffray. And I think that the running will appeal to athletes, notably with passages in Baden Powell Park. » And this could also appeal to the delegation of the French Triathlon Federation and its president Cédric Gosse expected this Sunday in Châtellerault.
