Felipe Gutiérrez: My triathlon of the week (Triathlon Villa de Gijón- GIJON SPORTS TROPHY)

VICTORIA DE BEATRIZ TENREIRO AND FERNANDO BARROSO

 

 

The truth is that the same weekend that the IM of Hawaii was celebrated, some triathletes looked for in Gijón the triumph in a test that days before the meteorologists announced that it would be passed by water.

But the truth is that they did not hit even by a minute, the test was played on a good morning where even the sun appeared to brighten the test.

The beach of Poniente was the place chosen for the dispute of this test and the good work of the Academia Civil-CNSO club put the effort so that everything was fulfilled as planned.

The test had two separate exits by 8 minutes leaving the women first and 8 minutes later the men.

Almost 200 triathletes participated in the test and took the "thrown start" from the sand of Poniente Beach.

Women

The galician Marta Barbeito- AD Fogar (3º 1: 14: 53) was the first to leave the water and heading the test from that moment until her two pursuers Beatriz Tenreiro- Cidade de Lugo Fluvial (1º 1: 10: 23) and Nuria Susvilla- Civil Academy- Cnso (2º 1: 12: 46) contacted her. The three were organized to get together to the transition and from there it was where Beatriz took her superiority to cross the finish line in first position. I magnify the state of form of the triathlete that represents the City of Lugo Fluvial and the young promise in age still cadet that occupied the podium Nuria Susvilla.

Cadet: Nuria Susvilla - Civil Academy- Cnso 1:12:46; Sub 23: Sofía Fernández 1:18:20; Veterans 1: Susana Coto- Trionix 1:15:19

The men

From the first moment it was already beginning to be rumored that the victory was between Barroso and Bayón, they were undoubtedly according to the comments in the sand on the beach before the start.

 

 

What some did not tell was with Sergio Garcia- Arcade Inforhouse (2º 0: 58: 40) that was placed next to Fernando Barroso- Santander Triathlon and when they left the water they worked so that Daniel Bayón- Civil-Cnso Academy (3º 0 : 59: 02) I could not hunt them down and see what I try.

From the water came Fernando and Sergio ahead and they fought to get off to run together and control the good runner that is Bayón. They were able to cross the finish line in those first two places.

For victory clubs for the Santander Triathlon.

In the other categories, the winners were the following:

Cadet: Juan Enterría- Lugones Triathlon 1: 07: 30; Sub 23: Ignacio Legazpi- ADTriatlón Avilés 1: 01: 42; Veterans 1: Carlos Garcia- City of Gijón 1: 01: 48; Veterans 2- Gregorio Diaz- Oviedo Triathlon Club 1: 09: 33; Veterans 3: Iñaki Konde 1: 16: 29

Luxury podium in both male and female category in this VII Edition of the Gijón Triathlon.

Surely many of you will be in the 2015 and you will be looking forward to those who have not been in this edition in Gijón and their triathlon.

Comments:

• If you want to go to this test in search of economic rewards, do not go, there are no cash prizes.
• If you are looking for a good atmosphere, it is the ideal place to get to know one of the most beautiful cities in Spain and to be able to have some cider "culines", the best restorative that can be taken after the test and even the day before in a tour by the port and beach area of ​​Gijón.
• Near the test you can have hotels and on foot you can reach the competition area in a couple of minutes.
• Compete in Poniente Beach and play the bike almost in the center of a city like this, is a luxury.
• Personally I recommend it for the 2015, in your agenda to keep it in mind since at the end of the season a trip to Asturias and a competition without stress is what you need.

If you come to Gijón, we'll see you here.
