The tourist town of Costa Teguise hosted the first edition of the TriWomen Santa Rosa on Saturday morning, a sporting event that had women as the main protagonist and that was developed for solidarity purposes. Nearly 200 triathletes participated in the three modalities of the TriWoman Santa Rosa, raising funds for the fight against cancer and gender violence through the Spanish Association Against Cancer and the Mararía Association. The British Bella Bayliss fulfilled the predictions and was the winner of the queen category of the TriWomen Santa Rosa.
The parking lot in the Los Charcos beach area was the central point of the first edition of the TriWomen Santa Rosa, with the swimming segment taking place on Los Charcos beach. From early in the morning, the participants of the event began to arrive, depositing the sports equipment in the area enabled for the transitions between the different segments. The girls from MTDance were in charge of carrying out the massive warm-up of the participants of the three modalities of the I TriWomen Santa Rosa.
The participants of the "TriWomen" modality were the last to start. The triathletes of the queen event had to complete a 750-meter swim, 11 kilometers of cycling and conclude with a 5-kilometer run along the Costa Teguise maritime avenue. The swimming segment developed on Los Charcos beach was marked by the struggle between Sara Camacho and Bella Bayliss, with Sara being the first to leave the water and begin the mountain bike segment.
The British Bella Bayliss returned to competition in the I TriWomen Santa Rosa, and the time of absence from the competitions was not an impediment to dominate the event from the bicycle race segment. Bella Bayliss scored the victory in the I TriWomen Santa Rosa, crossing the finish line with a time of 59 minutes and 50 seconds. The second position in the classification was for Lucy Biddelestone (1:02:59), completing the podium with the third place of Carmen Delia Luz (01:08:54). Sara Camacho, a triathlete who completed the swimming segment in first place, crossed the finish line in fourth position.
