Antonio Serrat consolidates "race to race"

Antonio just got a second place in the European Cup in Madrid.

 

Two years ago, the triathlete Antonio Serrat (still in junior age) he competed in his first ITU Olympic distance race in the PATCO Cup in Mendonza (Argentina). The young Galician caught the attention of the Argentines who made double that day (1º Tellechea and 2º Taccone) "Ché, this kid is very brave, on the bike he was shooting during the whole competition collaborating to cut the heads". This same year he became the "junior of silver" to win this medal in both the duathlon world and the European triathlon.

In 2015 it was the best "rockie" of Spain, with only 20 years in its first season as ELITE-Sub23 achieved the second place in the European Cup of Melilla in his debut in the category. He made his debut in WTS and in the World Cup, and finished the year with 6º in the Spanish DO Championship. "The truth is that I noticed something changed from junior to compete in ELITE-Sub23, the rhythms are different and especially in olympic distance in addition we must take into account the hydration and feeding"

Finally in this 2016 competed in the Cups of Quarteira and Melilla, in Portugal was 8 º with a large partial bike and in Melilla could not link with the leading group and had to settle for the 21ª square. But last Sunday in the European Cup of Madrid, He achieved a sensational 2 position, and told us how he felt in the race: "After the swim they told us that the lead group was at 20." Iban 8 escaped and from behind we tried to cut the disadvantage but we could not, we approached 15 '' but we could not link, until the Norwegian Gustav Iden attacked and I went with him, we both understood each other and we were able to catch the 8 head. Later after the T2, I already play hard from the beginning, I tried to hold on with Blummenfelt, but finally I had to settle for the 2ª square "

From Triathlon News, we wanted to do this interview to get to know him a little better, he is a very brave boy, who is always showing his face in all competitions and in all segments. We wish him the best.
