En First Women's Division the first relay Ferrol Triathlon he set the bar high and could barely only respond Rivas Imps e Isbilya Sloppy-Joe`s, with the Cidade Lugo Fluvial somewhat more delayed. The panorama changed with the second relievers, and Diablillos Rivas took the first position with the Isbilya components on the hunt, and Ferrol and Lugo disputing a hypothetical third position in the absence of one more relief. Anna Godoy and Cecilia Santamaría starred at the end of the race, managing to overcome all their rivals to give the Lugo club the title. Paula García Godino and Marina Martínez secured the silver for Diablillos Rivas, and the Ferrol Triathlon of the sisters Alonso and Inés Santiago, with the rest of the relay teammates, reached the bronze medal and third position.

If the women's First Division race was exciting and it was not resolved until the last relay, in the case of the men's category it was the last segment of the last relay that made the champions CN Montjuic Fasttriathlon. The first part of the competition featured strong and leading Rivas Devils, chased by the Montilla Córdoba Triathlon and the Cidade Lugo Fluvial men's team led by the fireproof Pablo Dapena. The panorama changed in the second relay, with provisional leadership for the Cidade Lugo and behind, quite close, the Fasttriathlon.

But Cesc Godoy and Jordi García, the last relief of the Catalans, had not said the last word. They came out of T2 about ten seconds from the first position in the race. Antonio Benito and Javier Lluch were trying to get the double for Lugo, but Cesc and Jordi got the machado and gave the title to the club founded by Albert Parreño who was more than happy after the race.
