Samer Ali Saad again demonstrated his status by ravaging the 11th Triathlon Beaches of Punta Umbría, a competition held yesterday that combines swimming, cycling and athletics.
The winner completed the circuit with a time of 54.24. Saad was at all times followed and almost flanked by the brothers of Malaga Bruno and Victoriano Raso, (with 54.51 and 55.28 in second and third position, respectively). We must remember that Samer already knows what it is to win in Punta Umbría: he was the winner of this triathlon in 2011 and also won the Urban Mile last August.
The triathlon held yesterday was marked by the large number of competitors, 400 in total, who did a fantastic race, both on the water and on bicycle and then on foot. In females, Rocío Molas (58.41) followed with Carmen García (01: 00.23) and Sonia Vázquez (01: 02.53).
All the athletes who met in the avenue of the Ocean were quickly infected with the pace marked by the champions, but of course each in its own way and form.
The Sevillian athlete Ali Saad, Andalusian triathlon champion on several occasions and with many titles to his credit, confessed to having carried out a great test, to the point of "I had a great time", he even said. In addition, given her swimming ability, a modality in which she has also won important trophies, she set the bar very high, despite the fact that the water was somewhat cold and the wind was blowing, so the sea had waves and was not as smooth as at other times. It should not be forgotten that the test was held in the open sea (750 meters) and then the triathletes covered 20 kilometers by bicycle and another 5 kilometers of running.
A good sports atmosphere was experienced throughout the tour and numerous public enjoyed the competition, strongly supporting all athletes.
The swimming test was spent at sea and then everyone had to arrive by bicycle to the vicinity of the Bota campsite, back and forth twice, to finish the walking tour from the Camarón beach bar area to the Altair. It should be noted that only with 400 runners, you can get an idea of the number of companions and followers they had.
Given the high participation, there were prizes for the three best of the female and male categories and several prizes to other modalities by age as well as a team classification.
