ARINAGA TRIATHLON. March 21, 2010 The March 20, 2010 we will play Gran Canaria Canary Championship Long Distance Triathlon, which will be qualifying for the Championship of Spain, which will serve as a good test for Ironman Lanzarote, is the main objective of this year.
The test will consist of 3 km. swimming, 80 km bike and finally 20 km. of run, or whatever it is, half Ironman.
At 5 and a half in the morning we left home grupete to compete this Sunday: Paul, Piji, Adolfo, and I Edurdo and Saturday afternoon will join the Victorian friend. As we see in the picture pretty lively for the time being.
The team waiting to board the ferry to take us to Gran Canaria.
took the Tortuguini Hence my nickname, Pedro Alias \u200b\u200b"El Chucho. Neither Powerbar or Vitargo, a Phoskitos, a kinder surprise and a little juices of Mercadona.
We arrived
Arinaga we go to the hotel, eat and we left to do the checking. The dorsal Piji placing on the bike.
Tortuguini overlooking the sea.
Paulcelara "descojonao" laughable.
And the whole group. Best of the photo, the chunk cucumber leaves a Mende to us the photo. When we say the price of the bike we still face silly: is worth a mid-range car, but as I say "what matters is not the arrow but the Indian who shoots."
From left. to right: Piji, Vito, Tortuguini, Chioma, Paulcelara and Chuches or me.
bicicletilla
And my new one for me is a Maquinon, placed already in place. Is not the most desirable, but we can say that premiere bike. I bought just two semananas and I'm still coupled to their position triathlete. The first time I grabbed the goat was, to put it mildly unsafe, but as I've been making kilometers am more attached to the bike.
Cucumbers.
The transition zone begins to fill a bike. Slightly more than 200 athletes will be starting tomorrow is This Canary Championship.
In the afternoon we take to make the circuit of the pick-cycling. As we have not seen enough goats, now in the middle of the road we find some truth.
What we see is that the cycling circuit consists of forty miles., Of which 19 are up and down the other 19 and the little plain that there is a strong wind blows. Will be given two laps and hopefully not blow the wind blowing today and will go the haze that makes breathing difficult.
The most important part of training: hydration. After dinner and we will properly hydrate the piltra prontito because tomorrow we will have to get up at 6 for breakfast. Before going to bed Dr. Santos, also known as the wizard, gives the pill to sleep.
Sunrise dogs a day, windy and stormy sea haze. Swimming is the part that I have more respect because I do not know how to react when you have to throw me into the water with 200 guys in a hurry. Moreover, the sea is very busy, we go that there are waves of three pairs of balls, and be a good test to see how I respond to swim with so many people around. They are 2 laps on a circuit of 1.5 km. and the second lap I found the Piji to bend one of the buoys, which gives me some confidence. I leave the water in 54 minutes flat quite happy as I have been swimming.
cycling test is pretty tough in the wind and slopes to save. At some moments it is very difficult to be coupled because the wind will strip the bike. Luis instructions from my coach, I go quite cagey and trying not to forget that this competition is a test to Lanzarote.
swimming segment I have no picture, but I have this "amazing" video of cycling.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Es ......... SuperChuches hitting a Pasona a rival. The shouts are a group of fans that form spontaneously, juas, juas.
