It was crowded on 'Karaula'...	...numerous spectators were fabulous this year, too, and didn't enter the 'changing zone'...

...Next was a 6400 meters long path with many uphills and ...	...downhills, the first behind the police escort was still Colm...

but, at his heels was already our Saša Javorović, and soon enough, he was in front of him ...	...at the same time, others were just leaving 'Karaula', everybody with with their own reason to celebrate ;)

Mister Turner - don't forget your helmet :)	...everybody enjoyed the downhill next to the 'Kimen' Hotel...

many have used it to make up for falling behind...	or to duel, our contestants from Cres again...

The prize for the most relaxed contestant deserves mister Miklić, it's not bad to wash oneself after swimming, change clothes, maybe grab a bite to eat, coffee will have to wait, though :) the first 12 minutes rushed by, there's a cycling path to go to...and where is the path...rihgt, up there...I'm on my way :)	Saša Javorović was the first to arrive in 11 minutes and 58 seconds, braking last year's record by a full minute and 42 seconds...

quick change and full speed ahead!	...After Croatia, contestants from Germany, Ireland, Slovenia, Italy, The Czech Republic arrive...

Colm Turner is competition to Road Runner, only a glance to his 'flying step' was enough to make everybody 'miserable'...	...Other contestants were arriving to the 'changing zone'...

Apart from taking their running equippment, the contestants had the opportunity to refresh themselves...	...the most cheerful was, traditionally, Marin :)

It's good that the tourist season is over, this place is usually so crowded by bikes that it's almost impossible to pass...	oops... somebody forgot to remove traffic cones...

Running path was 1600 meters long, along the sea, 25°C and 30% air humidity were excellent for this competition...	The first to make it to the finish line was Colm Turner in 23 minutes and 23 seconds, setting the new record, 2 minutes and 14 seconds better than last year's! It took him 8 minutes and 14 seconds to finish the running path, thus braking last year's record by a minute and 59 seconds. Congratulations!

Others were arriving along the beach...	...Saša Javorović arrives a minute and 24 seconds after the winner, thus winning the second position ih his first triathlon!...

Rainer Jonetz arrives 2 minutes and 25 seconds after the winner and wins the third position! The kids from the camp were very amused so they started running and supporting the contestants...	...The son follows his father...

Jiri Pribik (58) arrives as fantastic 14th...	...This year we had a representative from Rijeka- hello, Željko!

Angela Bergmann repeated last year's success and again won, it took her 31 minutes and 35 seconds, 22 seconds less than last year...	This was the team in charge of timing- thanks to all our volunteers!
