Finally I do not want to leave to the triathletes that I encourage most send from this article. On one side Victor de Corral y Tomás Amado They could not take the start because of an injury and health problems respectively. And on the other hand to the triathletes that could not finish the competition, Joan Capdevila and brothers Clemente and Michael Alonso, this last one by a strong fall in bike where the clavicle and the helmet broke possibly saved him from something much worse. Many encouragement to the 5, I'm sure they will fight and they will return to Kona to settle their outstanding accounts.
