Gregorio Cáceres, from the Triyaiza Triathlon CD, was the best in the Elche event. The Canarian athlete used four hours, two minutes and 15 seconds to win this competition and surprise the great favorites to win the title.

The canary then started a fight with Nicholas Ward. Finally, the insular triathlete held out better and ended up entering the finish line with an advantage of almost a minute over Ward.

The Catalan athlete, who already won in last year's edition, once again fulfilled the forecasts and won the title. Ana Casares, from AC Triathlon, and Saleta Castro, from Cidade de Lugo Fluvial, finished in second and third position, respectively.
Ledesma cemented his triumph in the cycling segment, in which he scored an extraordinary partial. The fight between Ledesma and Castro on the bicycle route went to the Catalan side and Castro accused the effort made to lose time in the race on foot and finish in last place on the final podium.
