At Lóleo Eventos, female category the current champion of Spain, the Ferrol Triathlon, arrived with significant casualties willing to fight for everything without complexes, although he only had eight athletes, compared to the ten that most of the clubs with options had. And so, Inés Santiago went all out and was the fastest in the water. He arrived at the transition with a considerable advantage over Anneke Jenkins from the City of Lugo Fluvial and Carmen Gómez (Triathlon Ferrol). But on the bike, the New Zealander of the City took the lead and set a high pace that only Ines could follow, who finally came as Anneke marched alone towards T-2.
