Good morning to all / as.
At last I can say that a race I get more or less on target, without punctures or inconvenience, etc. .........
At 7:30 am PIRI concentration in the pools, James C, Christian C, Xavier P, Marc O (went straight), Albert J (ill finally not coming) and a server. We also have the Sopporters Cris, Silvia, Chris, Mario, Gus.
We headed Vallfogona, we reached the car park, mountain biking and dismantle pleasant surprise .... I meet with a partner Marcelo warming. We left our things in boxes and heated in a short time and I find out who uploaded Jens con unos amigos.
La salida como siempre, parece que se acabe el mundo, salida casi a sprint pero yo a mi ritmo, ritmo alto pero sin forzar mucho. Un primer tramo de correr no muy técnico pero sí un poco peligroso para los tobillos, las hojas tapan las piedras que hay debajo. Llegada a la transición y justo al llegar a Boxes, a lo lejos ya se escuchan los gritos de ánimos, (está claro que somos escandalosos, pero eso te da una fuerza del copón).
La transición un poco lenta, pero prefiero hidratarme un poco y salir tranquilo para apretar en las subidas. En las primeras rampas me encuentro con bastantes corredores a los que puedo pasar sin problemas, hasta I find a group of 4 riders and I, we carry a similar rate and decide to go with them. I pass, the pass and so almost all the rise. In one of the ramps Jens step that goes a little touched, I realize that is up to the speaker (is plugged into the eyes, lol). Begin the descent and progress to a runner, I do practically all the way down alone. In the distance near the end of the slope, see Harvey giving P and shouted encouragement to tighten a bit (if I do not say anything, lol). I pass it, but it is very short, because just when you step begins a piece of asphalt and let some time together. We still have very little to reach the transition, and increases in the past I have to lose my bike, it leaves the string. But I have to look at, so yes, I can not do anything with him in the stretch run. Second
Rapid transition, cries of Piri, Xavi first meters just ahead, but at 1.5 miles and begins to escape and I do not give more. In the last climb, I'm not above me and do not stand up over 200 meters.
Final time 2:03:49
Great atmosphere, very good organization and above all very supportive member of our Supporters that dajaron throat and screaming over the duatló almost done and everything to do the photos. THANKS
