Immediately in the lead the favorites with Sandra Arenas (COL) and Kimberly Garcia (PER) to share the task of making the pace.
It soon becomes clear that for Julia Takacs (ESP) the fatigue of the 50km of the 2018 European Championships is not yet disposed of. After two laps she is already detached a few meters from the first two.
After four laps, Sandra Arenas forces the pace and the home athlete tKimberly Garcia home is few meters away.
The advantage, however, does not exceed the dozen meters, but the pace is very fast and we will probably see a great time performance.
Behind them are a trio composed of Glenda Morejion (ECU), Julia Takacs (ESP) and Maritza Guaman (ECU).
When 15 laps are missing, the advantage of Sandra Arenas on Kimberly Garcia is almost 50m. while Glenda Morejion (ECU) and Maritza Guaman (ECU) passed Julia Takacs (ESP).
At half race the split time of the colombian is below 21:00.00.
Sandra Arenas (COL) continues with her pace and goes on to win in 42:09.99 excellent time that puts her at the top of the world rankings of 2018, as well as, of course, that of the Iberoamericans.
But the importance of the performance is given by the fact that it represents the new South American record on the distance by erasing the 43:41.30 of Erica De Sena (BRA), established in San Paulo (BRA) in the edition of the Iberoamericans on August 1, 2014.
Second place to Kimberly Garcia (PER) in 42:56.97 new national record of Peru (previous of the same athlete of 43:57.44 obtained in San Paulo, BRA in the previous edition of Ibero-American Championships ion August 1, 2014).
Third place to the young Glenda Morejon (ECU) in 44:12.75 (new personal best and new national recod of Ecuador).
This is also a great result that places her in the lead of the U20 world list 2018 by overthrowing Alegna Gonzalez (MEX) who in Tampere obtained 44:13.88 in front of Meryem Bekmez (TUR - 44:17.69) and Glenda Morejon herself (ECU - 44:19:40).
