Calendar of the main Spanish MD and LD triathletes

In the following article we present the calendar of some of the main Spanish middle and long distance triathletes, with whom we have contacted and told us their goals for this new season.

 

 

Judith Corachán

• Arenales 113 Elche
• 70.3 Alcudia - Mallorca
• Bilbao Triathlon MD
• Zarautz
• Andorra Oudoor Games
• 70.3 Philippines
• 70.3 Lanzarote
• Challenge Paguera

After a good last season, for me that of the premiere as Pro and the one year with very good results and the colophon of the Spanish Championship of Larga; It is a step of confidence for this new year, to continue working and improving. I'm looking to keep enjoying the races without scoring big goals! I made the calendar based on races I wanted to repeat and others that I wanted to do and not thinking about rivals or results. To this day I think about training and finding myself well and the results if they have ... how to get them to arrive!

 

Sara Loehr

• Arenales 113 Elche
• Half Triatlon Pamplona
• Challenge Salou
• Zarautz
• Cto .. Europa 70.3 Wiesbaden
• Half Sailfish Berga
• 70.3 Lanzarote
• Challenge Paguera

The first part until Zarautz I have more or less clear, although they can change some things according to the state of form. This would be the idea, then as the season goes by we will see how it goes. I do not have any specific goal, I still want to improve and get experience. I think that for this season, knowing the distance better, I will be able to risk more in terms of rhythms, especially in the cycling segment, where I had a too comfortable rhythm for fear of going down

Mabel Gallardo

• Arenales 113 Elche
• Bilbao Triathlon MD
• Cto .. Spain MD - Valencia 113

Other sprint / Olympic events:

• Cto. Spain Sprint (it's in Águilas where I live)
• Copa del Rey
• League of Clubs
• Cto. Spain DO

As main tests I will only compete in MD, I have not planned any LD. Elche, Bilbao and Valencia before the summer, because afterwards I have not yet decided which more to do.

The objective is to try to get closer to the podium in the Cto. Spain in MD and be more competitive in that distance. With the sprint / olympic competitions my goal is to have fun competing in Elite.

 

Merce Tusell

• BCN Half Marathon
• Catalonia Mountain Duathlon Championship.
• Ruby Duathlon
• Cto .. Spain Duatlon LD - Orihuela
• Double Olimpic Terres de L'Ebre (MD of Catalonia)
• Spanish Championship of Duathlon and Cross Triathlon.

From here I will decide on the progress that other Halfs do, I have several in the head as Calella, Banyoles, Balaguer, Valencia, Berga and some outside. At the end of the season I will decide if I do something Long Distance. This January of 2016 I finished the Osteopathy studies and I will have more free weekends, to prepare the bike well on courses that are not favorable for me, I have been combining MTB with road for several years but this year I will focus more on preparing the Halfs and I doubt that any XTERRA will be made in Spain and I will run some of Duathlon and Cross Triathlon to enjoy. Every time there is more level in Media and Long Distance I hope to be well to continue improving little by little and to see if I can be in the first positions.

Ivet Farriols

• Cto .. Spain Duathlon LD - Orihuela
• Cerdañola Duathlon
• Arenales 113 Elche
• Double Olimpic Terres de L'Ebre, Cto .. of Catalonia of MD
• Ironcat
• Cto .. Spain MD - Valencia 113
• Monegrosman
• Olympic triathlon of Banyoles
• Cto. of LD Spain in Ibiza

Orihuela is a test that I have never done. Dudalon Cerdañola I will go because I fall close and so I score for the club. I will debut in Elche for the first time, I really want to run it. Then a classic Olympic Double Terres de l'Ebre a classic that I can not miss. Later the Ironcat that last year was canceled by the wind. I hope to recover well for the Cto .. of Spain of Valencia 113 and score for the team. And I will close this first part of the season at the Monegrosman, I love the organization and atmosphere. This year my calendar is much longer, many more competitions than last season, I want to make the most of it, train what I can, try to do or better in the two main objectives (Ironcat and Ibiza) and participate in tests that I have not never done because in 2017 you may not see me that much.

My intention is to improve in the three disciplines, last year I had an injury that conditioned me all season, I hope this year not to go through the same and to make a more solid season, now the important thing is to go accumulating good training to get the summer in the best possible way

 

Leonor Font

• Cto .. Spain Duatlon LD - Orihuela
• Arenales 113 Elche
• Double Olimpic Terres de L'Ebre, Cto .. of Catalonia of MD
• Challenge Salou or Triatló Oliva MD
• Cto .. Spain MD - Valencia 113
• Half Triathlon Vitoria
• Pálmaces
• Guadalajara
• Massís Antella
• Cto. of LD Spain in Ibiza

My goals for 2016 is to keep fighting for good results, especially in the medium distance that for the moment is the one I enjoy the most. I have the competition in my blood, I like the rivalry, the effort, the nerves that suppose and putting myself to the limit in each test. For me it is the result of so many trainings and sacrifices that we dedicate every day. I usually compete every weekend and I have a hard time closing a calendar year. My main competitions will be the championships of Spain of MD and LD of triathlon and the duathlon of LD. I would also like to do well in Vitoria and Pálmaces.

• Duathlon Vall d'Uxó (Autonomous CV)
• Cto. Spain Duatlon LD - Orihuela
• Cto. Spain Duatlon and Triathlon Cross
• Triathlon Guadalajara
• Triatlon Massi - Antella
• Cto. of LD Spain in Ibiza

This season I have focused personal goals; on the one hand in the Long Distance (in duathlon and triathlon) on the other hand, in the cross mode. Long distance is what I like the most, but I also enjoy mountainbike and nature sports. The season is long and among my LD objectives (both in duathlon and in triathlon) I will participate in btt tests (including Mediterránea xtremm) and Cto .. Spain Duathlon and cross triathlon. At the club level, our goal is the league of clubs in the Valencian Community and get promotion at the national level. So I will participate in the community tests to help get it.
