Last weekend, the 1st stage of the National Club Championship in triathlon 2024 took place, a stage held in a time trial format. In Moura, the SL Benfica women's team was the big winner.

In Baixo Alentejo, in the 1st stage of the National Club Championship in triathlon, the rules dictated that men's teams could present 6 athletes, closing the team's classification with the 4th element to cross the finish line, while women's teams started with a maximum of 5 athletes, classifying the team as the 3rd athlete at the finish line.


The chosen route was a 750 meter swim, right next to the Alqueva Dam, followed by 19 kilometers of cycling, with some very hard ramps, and a 5 kilometer final run, on an urban route, also hardened by the cobbled surface, many turns and curves. and very few flat areas.


The Benfica men's team was deprived of fighting for the classification, despite good indicators and the athletes' great desire, due to a mechanical breakdown during cycling, which the team still tried to resolve, but without success, thus opting to finish the race. participation given the lost time
