¡Campeón de Europa de Xterra en Xterra England!
Natación en un lago, mountain bike en un circuito sin desniveles pero revirado y con mucho sendero, y una carrera a pie que alternaba bosque y prados. Tras remontar en bici el tiempo perdido en la natación, llego con Conrad Stoltz a la carrera a pie. Después de ir juntos hasta el kilometro 8, Conrad para a quitarse una piedra de la zapatilla y yo cambio de ritmo para llegar a meta con 25 segundos. Carrera muy disputada.

Rubén Ruzafa se proclama campeón de Europa de XTERRA en UK
Rubén Ruzafa ha vuelto a ganar una prueba de XTERRA, 15 consecutivas de momento. El malagueño sufrió más que en otras ocasiones para vencer pues tuvo en el veterano Conrad Stoltz un duro rival al que solo pudo soltar en la carrera a pie.
Dos fuertes nadadores, Richard Stannard y Ben Allen abrieron hueco en el agua, aventajando a Stoltz en 1:13 y a Ruzafa en 1:53. Fue en el segmento ciclista, muy técnico y con zonas de barro por la lluvia donde Ruzafa se colocó líder sin poder soltar a Stoltz. Los 2 llegan juntos a la T2 con 35 sg sobre Ben Allen
Los 10 km de carrera a pie, también mojados y técnicos fueron un mano a mano entre los 2 líderes que llegan juntos hasta el km 7. Allí Ruzafa cambia de ritmo y se va a por el triunfo. Stoltz es segundo a 25 sg, mientras que Ben Allen se mantiene tercero a 1:10. Otro español Albert Soley finalizó quinto.

Agust, 2015/in Triathlon /
(Vachery Estate, Cranleigh, UK) – Ruben Ruzafa edged Conrad “The Caveman” Stoltz in dramatic fashion and Lesley Paterson chased down Jacqui Slack and Renata Bucher on the run to win the XTERRA European Tour Championship elite races at Vachery Estate in Cranleigh, England this afternoon.
A solid, driving rain the night prior left the trails muddy and slick, leaving those without the proper gripping tires (or time-tested skills) flying off their bikes left-and-right. The day, however, was perfect for racing with cool temps and not a drop of rain. The atmosphere was teeming with excitement as the build-up to the race heralded the Caveman’s last XTERRA, commanding the attention of the local and worldwide off-road community all at once.
In a funny side story, Stoltz woke up this morning to his watch set on South Africa time (which is an hour earlier) and ended up rushing to the race site thinking he was late. Instead, he was an hour early, the first to set up his transition, and had plenty of time to pose for photos with his wife Liezel and baby Zena, talk to friends and fans, and speculate on the day. Also of note, he was the last to leave the site, standing on stage and greeting the amateur champions until the very last award was handed out. Clearly the depth and impact of his retirement decision was not lost on anyone.
To the race… As per tradition, British legend Richard Stannard exited Vachery Pond first with the fastest 1.5km swim followed by Ben Allen in 17:41 and Stoltz more than one-minute back in 18:54 and Ruzafa almost two minutes behind at 19:35.
Allen moved past Stannard early on the bike to take the lead and Stoltz said “it took him ages” to catch him. He eventually did, and Ruzafa ultimately did what he does best and moved into the front on the second lap of the bike but couldn’t shake Stoltz.
“I couldn’t pull away,” said Ruzafa, a three-time XTERRA World Champ who has now won 15 straight XTERRA majors since winning Worlds in October of 2013. “I took speed and tried to pull away but he didn’t drop, he stayed on my wheel.”
The tight action made for marvelous, best in the business spectating, with viewpoints in literally dozens of places around the iconic XTERRA England tree to watch it all unfold. Ruzafa and Stoltz came into T2 practically together and then it was a foot race.
“I thought back after my first XTERRA in Richmond where it was all about the experience and not about the result and I just wanted to enjoy the race and I did,” said Stoltz. “The bike course was so much fun, it was slippery and challenging and it was pretty crazy. I had the best run form I’ve had in a while and Ruben and I went out on the run and were together through about 7K and I thought I’d test him a little bit and I went to the front and he hung in and then my shoe got stuck in some mud and came undone for two seconds and he took advantage and really pushed the screws down and I went from being comfortable to pretty uncomfortable in a quick time. Then I jumped across the river and my legs started cramping so I was literally on the ropes. Like I said, even though I came to enjoy the race as much as possible I do get carried away in the racing and of course I wanted to win my last XTERRA. Winning is important, but enjoying it all is important too, so I’m not going to be too hard on myself.”
After the race Ruzafa said that was as hard a challenge as he could handle.
“When I wasn’t able to drop Conrad on the bike I thought it might come down to a sprint, but then he had a problem with his shoe and I knew that was my chance. I was behind him and he stopped and I said, OK, I’ll take it and I just pushed ahead and was able to keep it to the finish. It was a great finish, and a really big challenge for me. It’s exhausting. So slippery out there, and all the time concentrating. I really liked this race, and I think Conrad should be really proud. He is a great person and a great racer.”
Stoltz, the four-time XTERRA World Champion and all-time wins leader with 51, said he did his best to stay in the moment and not let the idea of this being his last XTERRA get in the way.
“I didn’t try to think about it too much,” he said. “There are too many emotions so I tried not to hang on to the emotions, I just went through the process. I think I’ve been able to do that throughout my career, not worry about what’s happening on the outside rather what’s happening right now, so that’s what I did. Just focused on today and the here and now, and I really enjoyed the spectators cheering and the people out there. I actually thought I had the situation under control on the run but Ruben beat me to it and was obviously the faster one. I wasn’t sure if he was playing cat and mouse or if he was really tired, and I tried to burn him off at 7k but couldn’t. By the time I stepped in the mud puddle he was right on me, got that little gap, and I couldn’t close it. I may have played it wrong, maybe should have take it easy until the sprint at the finish and I may kick myself for it later. I literally just lost two or three seconds because my shoe didn’t come off completely, it just came off the heal, and I stopped to put it back on and it was right at the summit of a little hill and when it happened he really put the hammer down.”
Behind Ruzafa and Stoltz, Ben Allen was posting the fastest run split of the day and closed the gap considerably.
“I was 30 seconds too slow,” said Allen. “I’m a bit disappointed, but that’ll be my goal working towards Maui. I couldn’t have done anything more. The conditions out there were treacherous for everybody and I crashed four or five times, it was like skating on ice. It was pretty gnarly out on the bike. I had cross tires, not mud tires, made it hard on myself but just gave it my all. I let two minutes go, but it gives me a good indication on what I need to do in Maui. I thoroughly enjoyed it though and I love being here. We got hometown support from Jacqui’s family that was great. Coming in and out of the forest and seeing the spectators cheering you on, and all the crashes, it was spectacular. Such a fun event.”
XTERRA Malta Champion Nico Fernandez finished fourth and Spain’s Albert Soley came in 5th. As proof of the diversity of the European Tour Championship the top 10 men represented nine countries.

Paterson
In the women’s race it was all about Jacqui Slack early and almost all the way through the bike. Christine Jeffrey was first female out of the water but Slack was close behind and had an incredible bike and was putting more and more time on the rest of the field.
“I had an amazing swim, came out with Ruben,” smiled Slack. “I’ve been working so hard and I felt like it paid off today. I spent so much time training, working on corners, and was really confident, and I like the mud, and the longer the girls didn’t catch me the more I was motivated. Renata caught me with about 4K to go on the bike. I made a mistake on a hill and she rode up it and off and was really, really strong and I had no chance to hang with her but Lesley never caught me on the bike which I was really surprised about so that gave me some confidence. I went on the run hoping I could catch Renata but she ran strong and then Lesley came flying past early on. She’s so fast.”
Bucher, the 33-time XTERRA winner, was out in front and if not for the blistering foot speed of Paterson would’ve made it 34.
“I gave it everything I had on the run, and when Lesley came by on the first lap I was thinking to myself ‘oh, Lesley, please come back’” said Paterson. “I tried to keep it steady after that and hold off Jacqui. I’m super happy now. I changed a few things this year, and have a real base, and know what I want, and I’m my own boss. I have amazing sponsors, and I feel really good with no pressure, my family is healthy. I’m in a good place.”
As for Peterson, she didn’t play the dominant role she normally does until it counted, then she poured it on thick.
“I was pretty down on myself after the first lap because I couldn’t stay upright, but I talked myself into staying positive,” said the two-time XTERRA World Champ who has now won all four XTERRA races she has entered this season all the while chasing mountain bike racing dreams. “I’ve not been running, so when it came down to the run I was like, awesome (sarcastically). I got to the run though and I’m comfortable with that. Ironically, I’m Scottish and it was like I’ve never been in the mud before. I live out in San Diego where it’s sandy and rocky and the mud out there today was just something else. I was with one guy and he said ‘c’mon, c’mon just say positive because everybody is running’ … and this was on the bike! Seriously though, those girls were awesome out there today. There’s just so much camaraderie, everyone is very encouraging. It’s really cool, it’s what I love.”
Brigitta Poor, who finished the year ranked 2nd on the XTERRA European Tour, came in fourth and Jessie Roberts had a great day on the trails to finish fifth.
All in all the day of racing was magnificent, and exciting. The race announcer Richard Campbell could be heard through the fields and in the trees around the course and the action was everywhere. Passionate fans, a really great course, and brilliant racing all around.
“It’s made me proud to be English,” said Slack. “Every corner, every turn someone was shouting your name so I’m really pleased I could put together a good race. Looking forward to putting in some more work and giving it my best shot in Maui.”
