Dextro Madrid: Ainhoa Murua: "The penalty was a shame"
The Spanish triathlete Ainhoa Murua has been “happy” after finishing in fourteenth position the second test of the Triathlon World Championship, held in Madrid, although she recognizes that “it was a shame” that she was penalized with 30 seconds, since she was running between the first ten.
“I was penalized because in the first transition my glasses fell off the helmet and in the second I did not leave the helmet in its place. I haven't realized it. It was a shame, I was ninth, tenth and when they told me that I had two penalties and that I had to stop for thirty seconds. “There are a lot of seconds in this type of racing.”
In the 30 seconds she was stopped before starting the last lap, the Spanish triathlete was overtaken by four runners. “In this time, four have passed me and in the end I finished fourteenth, it's a shame,” she said.
Even so, Murua was “satisfied” with the work carried out in Madrid and claims to leave “happy.” “I'm happy because I've had a good race, at all times I've been ahead with the best and that's the positive. Furthermore, now everything is starting and we are doing well,” she stated.
