Melina Alonso signs for the Triathlon Versailles

The triathlete Melina Alonso will be part of the Versailles Triathlon in the French second division league of this discipline, abandoning -because it is incompatible- the Cambrai discipline with which she would participate in the duathlon.

The French club intends to ascend this season to the highest category of triathlon and for this it also has the Hungarian Eszter Dudas, a silver medal in the 2011 Junior European Championship.

In this way, Melina Alonso will compete in France only in the triathlon league, predictably attending the end of season appointments. While the Ferrol Triathlon will continue to be his club in the different Spanish competitions.

Concentration in Lanzarote
After a fourth place in the Mediterranean Triathlon in December, the Ferrol will face her first race of 2012. On February 5, she will start at the Enduroman in Lanzarote for an Olympic distance.

Melina Alonso, debutant in the sub-23 category, will seek to gain experience in Olympic triathlons - 1.500 m of swimming, 40 km of cycling and 10 km of running - since she has only previously competed under this format on two occasions.

Along with Zuriñe Rodríguez, Uxío Abuín and Josemi Pérez, also scholarship holders at the Blume Residence in Madrid, next Wednesday, February 1, the departmental triathlete will begin a week-long concentration on the island.
