Emilio Martín, new Spanish Duathlon Champion
We all knew and expected that in Soria in the men's category there was going to be a strong fight to win the title. Nothing was clear and the pools were very open. At the start, the good runners: Martín, Fuentes Pila, Alarza, Roca... set an infernal pace and placed the more than one hundred participants in a long line.
At the time of the bike There were three who were ahead and who would eventually occupy the podium places. Martín, a magnificent 1.500m athlete, showed that he is already a phenomenal duathlete. He has been training seriously since January or so and since Friday, finally! he already has a good bike and as he said in his post-finish statements “on Friday I went out with it for the first time, to try it out.” It is nice to see new faces on the podium.
But Roger Roca, who was second and repeated last year's position, gave everything to be champion of Spain and he deserves it, but he found a rival who did not let him breathe and who in the end finished him off, now his hopes are in the Gijón World Cup.
And third the hope of our sport Fernando AlarzaHe was ahead, he fought with the best at all times and he could have been third and champion of Spain under 23. What is clear is that he still has victories left in his legs, a true champion.
By club, the winner was Kebi-Triathlon, which was favored by the disqualification of Félix Javier Martínez since Triathlon Camargo had achieved victory before that elimination.
The best duathlete in the age groups was Rubén Galván from the Crevillent Marathon who took 1:59:04.
