International Tri-Athlete and Real Estate Mogul Elie Hirschfeld Competes in Paris Triathlon

PARIS, July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- New York real estate tycoon, Elie Hirschfeld, President of Hirschfeld Properties, LLC, continues to travel the world as an avid sportsman, this time heading to Paris to compete in the Eiffel Tower Triathlon on July 17-18. Jetting to Israel last February, Hirschfeld was the oldest competitor to participate in Israel's Israman Ironman Distance Triathlon in addition to completing the 12th Hawaii World Championship Ironman Triathlon and has since competed in numerous New York City and Hamptons marathons and triathlons.

"I am greatly looking forward to the strenuous race and challenge that the Paris triathlon will present," said Hirschfeld.  "Having completed 75 triathlons and 10 marathons the world over, it is always exhilarating to see the demands of an unfamiliar course in a completely different part of the world.  Surrounding yourself with another culture in such historic settings brings a new excitement to each race as well as making it exceptionally rewarding both physically and mentally."

At the age of 35, Hirschfeld transformed from a casual jogger, occasional biker and "a terrible swimmer" to an impassioned extreme athlete, which over the past 27 years has earned him acclaim as a true international competitive tri-athlete.  As another outlet for his sports enthusiasm, Hirschfeld launched www.hirschfeldsport.com, a website intended to foster athletic development that currently features triathlon training advice ranging from nutrition to endurance building.
