Muere un triatleta en el Challenge Barcelona
Al parecer, se acababa de dar la salida del triatlón Challenge BArcelona en distancia 3.8/180/42.2 y uno de los participantes, británico de 40 años ha sufrido un desvanecimiento en el agua. Las unidades que asistían la carrera, rápidamente lo han sacado del agua y lo han atendido en el suelo de una parada cardiorrespiratoria. Ya en la playa la Uvi movil ha prestado apoyo al equipo de salvamento pero poco podían hacer por su vida.

Sergio Marques and Eva Wutti go very fast, win Challenge Barcelona
Sergio Marques posted a lightning fast marathon to outrun Tom Lowe of Great Britain and Eva Wutti of Austria ran a world-class run split to dominate the women’s field at the full distance Challenge Barcelona.
Konstantin Bachor of Germany burst to a big lead with a race-best 52:24 swim and a lightning-fast 4:14:16 bike split which gave him a 15 minutes lead on Marques and 16 minutes on Tom Lowe of Great Britain at T2. But once they hit the run, Bachor’s eventual 3:00:58 run was no match for his pursuers. After his blazing-swift 2:38:47 marathon, Marques finished in 8:05:21 with a 2:29 margin of victory over Lowe, who ran an excellent 2:41:19. Bachor finished 3rd, 6:02 behind Marques.
“I am very happy with this result,” said Marques. “I was third in the last kilometers and I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to catch up, but I fought hard and finally did it. I am thrilled by the mark I achieved.”
Wutti’s 1:02:39 swim left her with a 6:32 deficit to Lucie Reed of the Czech Republic and a 3:52 lead on rival Tiina Boman of Finland. Wutti then unleashed a 4:46:37 bike split which took back 4:38 from Reed’s lead and put Boman out of contention, 16 minutes further back.
Within the first few miles, Wutti cruised past Reed on her way to a women’s race-fastest 2:57:57 run that brought her to the line in 8:51:01 with a 6:33 margin of victory over Reed, who ran 3:06:05 and also broke 9 hours. Boman finished 3rd, 25:42 back of Reed.
Wutti came into this race not optimistic that she could match her recent performance at Ironman Copenhagen. “I didn’t see myself as the favorite,” she said. “Everyone told me I was but I didn’t think I could make it. But I did! I went out to give it all and the result was just perfect!”
The race was marred by the death of a 40-year-old British age group triathlete. Race organizers and the Spanish Triathlon Federation issue a joint statement which declared that the man lost consciousness in the first meters of the swim, was taken to the beach and treated by three doctors and two emergency medical technicians, then moved to a mobile ICU unit before he was pronounced dead of cardiac arrest. The man’s identity was not released pending notification of next of kin.
