Skechers bet on triathlon

Statements of Skechers Athletes - Paula García Godino and Sara Bonilla (Champion and Runner-up of Duathlon Spain)

"I am in very good physical shape, but when I recognized the demanding circuit I saw that it benefited me", explained the winner after the competition

 

This weekend has been the star of the national calendar in duathlon, the Spanish Duathlon Championship in Cerdanyola. A competition that brought together more than 1.200 participants.

Paula García Godino, triathlete of Skechers, has added a new title to her growing career, winning and being Spanish Duathlon Champion. "I'm in very good physical shape, but when I recognized the circuit both on foot and by bike the day before, I saw that it benefited me a lot," said the Madrid-born player after her triumph.

But the brand had a double celebration, as Skechers athlete Sara Bonilla also managed to be runner-up in Duathlon Spain after finishing second, two minutes after Garcia Godino.

Both have explained that during the 5 kilometers on foot they imposed a strong rhythm and as the kilometers passed the leading group was reducing. And just before the transition, a 380-meter slope would make the difference even more. "That was when I could squeeze a little and move forward with respect to the rest. When I thought I could not stop and had to continue alone and try to escape, "confesses Paula Garcia Godino, who continues in his explanation:" During the 20 kilometers of bike did not slow down regulating very well at all times to not decay . I was increasing distance with respect to my persecuting group arriving to place me at 2 minutes and a half of it".

A distance in time that allowed Paula to enjoy the moment: "The second race on foot was a gift that allowed me to enjoy the atmosphere, the moment and the glory stopping the clock to almost two minutes".

Sara Bonilla, meanwhile, explains that "Paula escaped to reach the bike alone. I tried to go after her, but I could not reach her and two girls did grab me and we left three to try to hook her. But the bike is very hard and I had a very bad time because I was not feeling well. In the end we reached a large group but Paula and we got a lot. In the T2 I got off to run and a few meters I placed second and fly with Skechers and give everything so that nobody would pass me".

Without a doubt, a great triumph for the athletes and for Skechers.
