I could do a good swim in a rough sea coming out in the first group after Estrageiro who had escaped in front. Cycling was quite hard because of the wind and the rain that had been in the first sections ... and also because of the broken cycle circuit with 1600m of accumulated altitude that allowed me to put time and first in the T2 with an approximate difference of 10 'over the second. 

After a race with quite a gap, where I could manage differences. From behind Estrangeiro set the best partial of this segment although he could not give me chase. Highlight also the great 3ª square of my partner and friend Cristóbal Dios, marking the differences with a good bike and foot race"In the women's competition victory has been for the British Alice Hector.
