Jose Fuentes Pila and Ana Mariblanca won in the Duathlon of Santander

Felipe Gutiérrez tells us what happened in the test

On Friday we were able to enjoy the Duathlon of Gijón and Saturday following the "Cantabrian cornice"We could also enjoy the victories of José Fuentes Pila y Ana Mariblanca.

Although at the time of closing this chronicle we do not have the official results (it seems that this is always slow) if we could see how Fountains-Pila he was undone in the final race of his four companions in the day's getaway. A hard-fought victory and a happy victory since after being apart for a year and almost without training the bike, he was able to beat Pelayo Menéndez (2º), Manu Vega, Sergio Correa who was about to beat because he fought for it and Sergio Santiago who was fifth at the end closing this group that worked tirelessly and controlling the persecutors so they would not connect with them, they would not have deserved without a doubt.

While in Madrid women Ana Mariblanca, that the previous day won in Gijón, I propose a test in the first control segment and making the bike and the race strong. Undoubtedly running in a squad of boys was a great training more than anything for learning because although usually go alone, here in Cantabria the drafting is free between boys and girls, new things for her.

Some 180 duathletes took the exit in the surroundings of the Sardinero football stadium after an exciting test of small where not only the boys and girls enjoyed but also the daddies, some of them with the dorsal placed to run after the duathlon.

The escape of the five duatlets was later translated into a "frustrated hunt" of more than twenty duathletes who tried to connect with the escapees. It could not be and after a vertiginous change of cycling on foot we could see Sergio Correo go out for the win in first position and end up disgraced in the last kilometer, while Fuentes Pila thanks to his experience and class I can control the test and be the winner. Good return to the duathlon.

While Ana Mariblanca took the victory unappealable, making the difference from the first meters. In two days victories in Gijón and Santander, now he will be absent in the national of Soria since his studies obligations make it impossible for him to go.

By clubs, the boys from Bardy the Bathco Buelna took the classification with a certain margin over the Santander Triathlon and AD Duathlon Polanco.
