Group photo of the winners of the 1st Cres Triathlon. Everybody got an Insula- Activa T- shirt, olive oil, wine and 250 kunas for first position, 150 kunas for second and 100 kunas for third position. | Contestants shared with each other how they entered each curve… |
| |
Everybody relaxed during the party that followed, impressions were shared and, most importantly, they were good :) | The winners happily posed in out T- shirts... |
| |
New friendships were made - among female contestants... | ...as well as among male contestants... |
| We would like to apologise to Galiano Alvaro and Joel Genard who won 2nd and 3rd place in "over 30" category, whose prises were awarded to other contestants, due to slight confusion |
