Alejandro, the thorn of Cartagena is removed

With last minute changes, because the competition we chose for Alejandro at the "Luis Puig Velodromo" in Valencia, was not going to be as fast or close as the Alhama control; With this change “in extremis” we sought to define the set-up of our athlete.

The Alhama de Murcia test started as we expected, being very fast from the start, riding in excellent time and perfectly controlling the race. Finally, Alejandro Ortuño set his Minimum Personal Brand of 1,500, stopping the clock in a time of 4'03” with which he defined the minimum winter and summer brand for the Youth categories and even for the superior Junior category. Although he has encountered some inconvenience due to the load of kilometers from the last competitions.

Alejandro commented at the end of the competition: “Very fast race to which I have adapted very well and I have been able to control myself, although in the last meters I have noticed the load of the training sessions and the race in Seville. Something that has complicated me and I have not been able to lose 4 minutes. In short, very good feelings and wanting more knowing that we are on the right track when I have disputed the race with junior athletes and promises”

For his part, Fran Carpena, his coach: “This season's debut in the 1500 came to see the situation we find ourselves in, since we are focused on the cross season in recent weeks, something that perhaps reduces today's result a little. Today's conclusions would say that it has been a good debut with good feelings, several things to correct in the race strategy, but definitely a good start with MMP, something that gives us the minimum for the Spanish Championship in Salamanca, a competition that is held the first weekend of March. Also note that the mark made is the minimum mark of a higher category (junior).
