Temperature raises here in Puerto del Carmen. Anytime the sun appears between the clouds is very hot, but this is not a problem for the pros who, in about 10 minutes, are going to finish this race.
Heat isn’t a problem for our champion Alex who is racing real well. He has made 6:43:20 in bike section and is now running to the finish line. After 8 hours of great effort we have seen him real well. His rythm is quick and is running real smooth.
This is almost done, Alejandro!
In about 3 hours is possible that his race will finish.
By the way, his position now is 697!
