This first edition of the IronMan triathlon in Nice consists of 3.8 kms swimming, 180 kilometers biking and a marathon (42,195 kilometers).


 

Olivier who has been participating in numerous Triathlon races for the last 4 years achieved on Sunday one of his best swims ever as he came 6th out the water, and his good performance during the bike and the run placed him 15th overall.
