And right in the middle of it all: the Munich <strong>Tom Hug<\/strong>who emerged as the winner after an exciting and exhausting race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"353\" height=\"143\" src=\"https:\/\/isla-travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Challenge-Peguera-mallorca-1.jpg\" alt=\"Challenge Peguera-Mallorca\" class=\"wp-image-25976717\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9challenge-mallorca.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning, things looked anything but rosy for the 26-year-old German. After the <strong>1.9-kilometer swim course<\/strong> Hug was well behind - more than a minute behind the leading group. Also on the <strong>90 kilometer long bike course<\/strong> it seemed that the gap would be almost impossible to make up. He arrived in the transition zone two minutes late. But then he showed his strength: Hug showed real fighting spirit on the half marathon course. With long, powerful strides, he left his competitors behind and crossed the finish line after <strong>3:44.24 hours<\/strong> was the first to cross the finish line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Paseo de la Peguera<\/strong>which became a race track at this event, shook to the cheers of the spectators as Hug pulled out the decisive lead. <strong>33 seconds later<\/strong> the Briton followed him <strong>Jack Hutchens<\/strong>closely followed by the Serb <strong>Ognjen Stojanovic<\/strong>who secured third place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Women in focus: Alanis Siffert shines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The tension was also palpable in the women's race. The Swiss <strong>Alanis Siffert<\/strong> was already considered the favorite in the run-up to the race and did not disappoint her fans. However, the race got off to a bumpy start for her too: two minutes behind on the swim. However, the 22-year-old was not impressed and used her strength on the bike and run. After a total of <strong>4:10 hours<\/strong> she crossed the finish line far ahead of the competition - a full <strong>19 minutes<\/strong> faster than the German triathlete <strong>Anne Reischmann<\/strong>who came second. Third place went to the Swede <strong>Lisa Norden<\/strong>who was able to stand up to Siffert for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A celebration for sports enthusiasts - and for Mallorca<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/challenge-mallorca.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Challenge Peguera<\/a><\/strong> has long since made a name for itself, not only as a sporting competition, but also as a <strong>cultural event<\/strong> on Mallorca. It is a day on which the island shows its most active side. The route, which leads through the coastal towns and the hilly landscape of the region, offers an experience not only for the athletes, but also for the spectators. The picturesque views of the Mediterranean, the wide beaches and the impressive nature of Mallorca make the event a special highlight - not just for athletes, but for everyone who loves Mallorca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"islafont\">isla<\/span> Reading tip:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elitechip.net\/index.php?zwshow=compdet&amp;idcomp=7230080\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Results: Elitechip Challenge Peguera-Mallorca<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>German triathlete Tom Hug won the Challenge Peguera 2024 after a nerve-wracking race on Mallorca.
