July 13, the Black Sea coastline of Odesa became the battleground for the Ukrainian Amateur Club Aquathlon Championship — a vibrant multisport celebration that crowned Triton as national champions!
They were joined on the podium by Capital Tri and Happy TRI Friends, while Project 13 claimed a hard-fought fourth. Ferrum Team and Aerostar-TeamOne shared fifth, with SIS Ukraine Multisport and Iron Club Odesa completing the top 8.
