9 pictures from the 2000 Nordiska triathlon.

Background: The Nordiska triathlon consists of the three parts running, rowing and swimming. Every distance is quite short, and is situated around our club, so that the spectators always can follow the race. It is a cup system with four people in every series, and number one and two continue to the next round. The rowing boats used are beginners boats, which are stable so that even less experienced rowers can take part.

People are eager to start the racing on this beautiful day in Zürich...
