Sitting still is not an option for Greg Van Avermaet. Two weeks after his last race, he competed in a triathlon for the first time in Spain. The focus was mainly on fun, but Van Avermaet was the first to cross the line.

Greg Van Avermaet was at the start of the SGRail 100, a gravel triathlon in northern Spain, organized by three-time Hawaiian winner and Olympic champion Jan Frodeno.

Participation is more important than winning in Girona. There are prizes for the best coffee drinker, the most useful triathlete, or the best dressed participant.

Van Avermaet had a great time and was first across the line, just ahead of former doubles player and triples player Jim Thijs.

Gravel triathlon distances Girona (Spa)
