The 2020 Qidong Jianghai triathlon was held in the Golden Beach scenic area on June 26. Triathlon is a challenging and thrilling sport that combines swimming, cycling, and long-distance running.

A triathlon consists of three parts – a 1.5-kilometer swim, a 40-km bike ride and a 10-km run. All the contestants gathered at the site and checked in at 7:30 am. They then went to the marina for the first challenge, the 1.5 km swim. Swimming requires a reasonable level of physical strength and rhythmic breathing.

The 40-km cycling was next. The riders started off from the marina and rode towards the wetland park.

The last training was the 10-km run. Though it was a little hot, the participants overcame their physical and mental fatigue and finished the match successfully.
