Preview Triathlon European Cup in Melilla

Today it has been played in the autonomous city of Melilla, a new edition of the Triathlon European Cup where Spain had a broad representation with 13 triathletes in the women's event.

Melilla has hosted a European Cup competition for the fourth consecutive year. The race is done under Olympic distance, swimming consists of 2 turns of 750m in the Mediterranean Sea next to the harbor. Later the triathletes will cover the 38 km of cycling, giving 8 and half a circuit of 4,4 km. Finally the competition will end with 10km of the race on foot, divided into 4 laps of 2,5km.

Camila Alonso got the victory with a final time of 1: 55: 46 followed by Verena Steinhauser (1: 56: 07) and for Lisa Berger (1: 56: 12)

Camila, Spanish Duathlon champion just a week ago, claimed a brilliant victory after coming back in the cycling segment and the race. The protagonist was Sara Pérez Sala, who together with the Portuguese Helena Carvalho came out in the first positions of the water and escaped by bicycle until an inopportune puncture separated her from the podium. Camila had an outstanding foot race beating the Italian Verena Steinhauser and the Swiss Lisa Berger

As for the men's event, we had the presence of 14 Spaniards with the Galicians Uxío Abuín y Antonio Serrat  to the head.

The test was very tight and finally the victory was for Marco Van Der Stel with a time of 1: 42: 40 in a tight sprint with  Tom Richard (1: 42: 42). Antonio Serrat (1: 42: 58) who was in the lead for a long time has finally been third.

Antonio did a very brave men's race, being part of the five-man cycling break and taking the head of the race as soon as he got off the bike. Some discomfort for flato detracted in the final laps, and was overtaken by the Dutchman Marco Van Del Stel, and the French Tom Robert, although he was able to maintain the third position.
