GORE-TEX® TRANSALPINE-RUN 2011
David Lopez and Miguel Caballero overall champions of the 2011 GORE-TEX® TRANSALPINE-RUN / Jethro Lennox and Joe Symonds claim last stage victory / Veteran Master team claims champion trilogy
David Lopez and Miguel Caballero have won the 2011 GORE-TEX® TRANSALPINE-RUN. The two 29-year-old trail experts of Spanish Team Trangoworld GORE-TEX® covered the monstrous distance of 273.73 kilometers and a cumulative ascent of 15,436 meters in astonishing 26:37:51.0 hours.
Trailing the overall victors by merely 17 minutes after eight intense days of trail running are Jethro Lennox and Joe Symonds of Scottish Team Inov-8 GORE-TEX® Footwear (26:54:18.5). The finishing touch of their race performance, however, was not just a well-deserved second place position in the overall ranking but today’s stage victory well ahead of any other team (2:50:26.9).
Julien Chorier (FRA) and Philipp Reiter (GER) of Team Salomon International ended the globally recognized trail running event in third place overall after a total of 27:54:37.2 hours on the trail. After logging a distance of 30.2 kilometers today that packed 1,807 meters into a single sustained climb, the two racers even managed to come in second (3:02:33.1) ahead of the Spanish overall race champions.
For the first time in its seven-year history, a Spanish team made up of members of the National Trail Running team, won the TRANSALPINE-RUN. “It’s simply an incredible feeling right now. We are overjoyed that we ended up winning the race as first-time participants” shared Miguel Caballero who was clearly the stronger of the two team members on the last two stages. Apparently, his teammate “David started experiencing an increasingly upset stomach. That ended up costing valuable time,” said Caballero. “In view of that, our overall victory ended up being a real piece of work.” More>>
