Exit of the swimming in Ecotrimad 2017

The first of the exits (Open) had to be delayed due to security reasons from the 09.00 hours to the 13.40 hours, at which time a heavy storm fell and whereinally had to be suspended in its entirety prioritizing the safety of the participants by having a totally impassable circuit to carry out a triathlon event with guarantees.

After seeing the comments made on the social networks of the organization itself, from Triathlon News we wanted to contact the career management to know what happened.

"09.00 was scheduled to leave the Open test, but after checking all the requirements to give the output was null to see the need, due to the conditions in which the test was developed, to have more than 2 ambulances (which had been prepared for the competition) to ensure the safety of the triathletes and to evacuate the athletes to a hospital in case of need"

"We always believe that it is vital and paramount to ensure the safety of the athlete. "

"At the time of having to give the Open test, the organization in a coordinated way with the judges of the federation decided to cancel the test in which they would participate near 60 triathletes, since the storm caused a major flood that he left the entrance to the swimming and the transition zone impracticables for the competition"

"We are also upset that the competition has not been able to take place as planned and we are aware of what happened and the damage caused to the triathletes, since we also compete in triathlon and empathize with their situation.

The only way we can see to compensate for this inconvenience is to do everything in our power so it has been decided to return the registration money and also invite the triathletes for free to participate in another triathlon race in the Circuito del Water that is made in the vicinity of the Community of Madrid (Angeles de San Rafael, Valsain, Valmayor)"

The organization has sent a statement to the participants of the open test, apologizing and informing them that the registration fee will be returned to them and they will invite one of the remaining 3 tests of the triathlon water circuit free of charge: Los Angeles de San rafael, 25 of June, Valsain, 2 of Julio and Valmayor 30 of Julio.

Ecotrimad thus fulfills its seventh edition, with a total 1.450 participants among the different tests, some data that confirm the boom that our sport is having nationwide.
