Phuket is an island off the coast of Thailand and it is comparable to the size of Singapore. Phuket offers its residents and visitors much to do. It is also one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country, and it is really no wonder why. Whether it’s a cozy honeymoon or an action-packed getaway, Phuket is a must-visit locality for all adventure-seeking, thrill-discerning travelers, as numerous fun events occur here each year. Apart from all the things to do in Phuket, the Laguna Phuket Triathlon 2013 is one of them.
Phuket is Asia’s premiere destination for the triathlon and it features some grueling activities such as a 1.8k swim, a 55k bike ride, as well as a strenuous 12k bike ride to round out this exciting event. You can either sign up to participate or simply witness the event that takes place through some of the most amazing tropical landscapes. Taking place on the 24th of November, this event has previously featured and attracted many other popular athletes featured on the global stage such as Chrissie Wellington, Mark Allen, Craig Alexander and many others. It is a true test of champions and only those who are physically able and who have been training for months should attempt this rigorous triathlon.
If you are a spectator who is cheering on the participants, while you are on this wonderful island, do make it a point to visit the amazing tourist spots and museums that the island hosts. It’s a wonderful place for the whole family to have a great time, regardless of whether you are into triathlons or not. However, if you make it to the Laguna Phuket Triathlon 2013, you might be lucky if you meet the champions who have won more than world championships in almost every discipline, such as the Iron-Man. He may not be Tony Stark, but he sure comes close!
