Rocio Ríos, Nasio Cardona, Isa Gregori, Laurence Rastell, Jose Enguix and Pau E. Sancho outstanding in Gijón, Pedreguer, Valencia and La Font d.Encarròs

Excellent weekend for the athletes that I have the pleasure of training for the times and personal successes obtained in their different track, road and trail competitions. Well yes, we give it all!!

Thus, in Gijón, the Olympian Rocío Ríos achieved victory in the Asturian indoor track championship in the 800m distance (atypical for her) in her F50 master category. She solved the race with ease to win with 2'59" with a very good last 200m. Great Rocío!!

Rocío champion of Asturias

Just over 800 km south of there, specifically in Valencia, the athlete from Oliva Isabel Gregori also won the provincial master indoor track championship and also in the 800m distance with an outstanding time of 2'33". Isa belongs to the F40 category.

This time trial excites him to be able to participate in the national championship. And without pressure she will go to San Sebastián to enjoy being with the best in the country in her category. Go for it!!

Also in Valencia but on the road, my nephew Pau E. Sancho Beneyto achieved his personal best time over 5Km, stopping the clock at 18:12 (3'38"/Km), improving his PB by eight seconds in a race that he ran less plus: 3'48" -3'43"- 3'38"- 3'31" and 3'26"!!.

I love how strong Pau finishes the races!!

Pedreguer Trail

There Nasio Cardona and Laurence Rastell competed in the 15Km distance and the one from Xabia achieved absolute victory!!! But how great you are Igancio. With 1h20 he was three minutes ahead of the second place finisher in the race. Needless to say, he took two trophies home, the overall winner and the M50 master. Brutal!!

For her part, Laurence, who suffered a knee problem during the week, had to run as a reserve, so that the situation did not worsen and still managed to be the 3rd master. What a fighter you are!!

Llutxent Trail

There was the very young under 18 Emilio Signes who over 7.2Km managed to be 9th in his category and clocked 34:33 (4'47"/Km). An athlete who is improving his running technique excellently. Very applied to improve. Keep going!!

Lovers' Race of La Font d.Encarròs

This race is already one of the great classics of the Valencian Community due to its originality. Whether in pairs - of all types of gender - or individually, it is attractive to many runners who wait for it with enthusiasm.

And there the master 50 Jose Enguix achieved an excellent second place in the master D category, completing the 9.2Km at an average of 3'49"/Km. An athlete who knows how to manage efforts to achieve the best. A demanding race because it has hills long and hard.

New podium for Jose Enguix

Araceli Chornet also participated there, accompanying her husband Juan Luis Roselló, a race that they always look forward to because it is the only one in which her husband participates since he practices running simply to be in very good shape, without the intention of competing. But this race is special for the two of them and participating with his wife at a calm pace does not doubt it. Great couple!!
