Ruth Brito third is the best Spanish Today the twelfth edition of the Vitoria-Gasteiz Triathon was held, where as usual we found many of the best triathletes in the specialty such as the winners of the test Brooke Brown, Iván Álvarez, Julia Mai, Alejandro Santamaría, Pedro Gomes or Diego Paredes. Comeback and second victory in the Santamaría race The race began at 8:30 in the morning with a 3.800-meter swim in the Landa reservoir where the first to get out of the water was Pakillo Fernández Cortes followed closely by Mattew Leeman. A group of 1 with Xavier Torrades and Dani Múgica came out 20:4 behind the head Actually, Daniel Marín was the first to get out of the water but he was not competing as a professional, but in age groups 35-39 years. In the cycling sector, in the first 100 kilometers of the race, Pakillo Fernández was leading, followed by Pedro Gomes, and by Daniel Múgica, who passed third at that point. Little by little Dani Múgica, bronze in the past MD Spain Championship, was climbing to be the leader of the test to reach the T2 with 1 minute advantage over Raúl Tejada and 1: 30 over Pedro Gomes who left the bike in third position. In the 42 km of running, we could see how Alejandro Santamaria was climbing positions to reach the lead with 10 kilometers remaining, followed by Xavier Torrades and Raul Tejada in third position at that point. Finally, Alejandro Santamaría got his second victory in the test with a time of 8:17:05 followed by Xavier Torrades (8:19:00) and Raúl Tejada (8:22:23) occupying the third final position Alejandro Santamaría @trientrenos win the #full @TriVitoria #TriVitoria2018 https://t.co/7wNPDsTecX pic.twitter.com/t9AagQqfrJ — Triathlon News (@triatlonnoticia) July 8, 2018 TOP 10 MEN 1 ALEJANDRO SANTAMARIA PEREZ 8:17:05 2 XAVIER TORRADES SABATA 8:19:00 3 RAUL TEJADA 8:22:23 4 VICTOR ARROYO 8:25:23 5 QUIQUE MARTINEZ 8:28:52 6 DIEGO PAREDES 8:30:21 7 MOISES VIDAL 8:31:25 8 SERGIO MARQUES 8:33:01 9 AMAURY DEHEZ 8:34:27 10 MATIJA AVIROVIĆ 8:38:32 Women's event In the women's category, the first to complete the swimming segment was Emma Deary, with more than 8 minutes over Sonja Skevin and Carmen Macheriotou . Almost ten minutes later, the first Spanish, Ruth Brito, second classified in 2017 Julia Mai, winner last year and one of the favorites withdrew from the swimming sector, leaving a very open test. In the cycling segment we could see a great comeback from Ruth who placed second at km 120 of the race, just 3 minutes behind Emma Deary who was still the leader of the race. Brooke Brown was in third position at that point, passing 4 minutes behind the race leader. Finally, Emma Deary was the first to leave the bike, followed by Vanessa Pererira and Ruth Brito who was third in T2. Both very close to the leader of the test. In the running race, Emma Deary little by little was losing distance on Sonja Skevin who at kilometer 17 was just over 1 minute from the head of the race. The Portuguese Pereira, who was third, did so a minute later, while Brito was fourth, almost 4 minutes away. Sonja Skevin reached the head of the race around kilometer 25 and went alone for the victory, but we were able to experience an exciting fight for second place between Pereira, Brito and Deary. Finally, the Croatian Sonja Skevin achieved the final victory in a time of 9:29:04.
