Upon arrival it this sign with a picture of mine is the first thing that made my hair stand on end .
Preparing the material in the pits early to give me time to all .
output career.
For the second consecutive year had set a target of the first half of the season is longer than Duathlon dispute in Spain, this year he had another month to prepare, on the contrary in the last week I happened to more physical problems than good news, so the scales are balanced and more or less came as 2010. This year he was clear that winning would be very very very difficult, because repeat victory in this type of testing is almost impossible, and the high level national participants had to add the presence of the "pros" of the PRO-Duathlon-SUISSE Jonas Barman (Switzerland) and Alex Lamberix (Netherlands), who had taken advantage of a training Estage several months in the Canary Islands to compete in Sweden. As for my physical I had my doubts, but I was certain that if the legs responded as they had done in the most demanding workouts would be ahead. When something goes well it is best not to change and experience last year is worth far this year, I dare say that if my coach, "Coix" adapt it to another duathlete my preparation for Swedish, pull out of the 110% the D-Day and H-hour, 10 planning has prepared me. Since the arrival in Sweden it was all special, in front of the hotel the first thing we saw was a sign of proof with a picture of me last year, and one that is not used to it because it excites. We collected the bibs and the way we catch the Dream Theme Utebo, building to greet and José Cardo Swedish cracks Triathlon Club who organize the event. This year journey with my partner David Colclough battles also competed, and like last year Coix accompany me to assist me and "address." As I often do in major competitions had brought dinner home to not fail anything. Prepare and review all the material (very important in this type of testing) and after making a few laughs with colleagues Utebo, Dani Tello and Tame, give rest to play all day Saturday. As much as the years pass there are careers that make me very nervous, and this makes me like a flan, so since I woke up I was in "autistic" giving Coconut laps. As a ritual that often repeat left my bike in the pits early to prepare everything in stride and without fault, and under a scorching heat was time to exit. An honor to be presented as number 1 and a shame to see that the number 2 Ramon Garcia could not make out through injury. The truth is that the level was high, and the presence of two international runners intimidating enough.
Group head in the first 10k, with Colclough "sending."
Unlike a duathlon sprint in the first set is rolled comfortable, no agony .
PART 1 (10K). Taking advantage of my position in front I go ahead and put me in the top 5 runners at all times to avoid problems and control group, the group gradually reduced and the pace from 3:30 / 35 allows for the 5 km march a group of about 12 duathletes where all the favorites, after the equipment of km 6 a change of pace the group reduces to little more than half a dozen runners to over 9 km is definitely broken after an attack by my companion David Colclough head arrives at the first transition with a trail of duathletes after, coming in 15 seconds about 12 runners. What I worried about this part is that Lukas Bauman reserves spend nothing and trying to take the lead pack as little time as his Dutch team-mate Alex Lamberix, which has given way to the headboard beat.
Leaving the pit area to meet the cyclist segment.
I love this photo.
"Teaching" the dorsal Jonas Bauman. PART 2 (85K). The transition was a sore spot in which he was clear that I could not afford to lose sight of the best cyclists, and making a quick transition to the segment went cycling a few meters from the first, seeing that Bauman Jonah went to "fire" from the first meter of bike, so no doubt caught your reference respecting 10m away and began a frantic first round in which the Swiss tried to land by all coast. No one else could stand the pace in some sections Bauman rolled to 46/47kms-h to try out of sight, which was about to get in several times. So Bauman things began to ask me to help him set the pace, so I "ate" the end of the first round with a headwind to finish this round over 40km / h. The second round went without much more to tell, we split the responsibility pulling about 10k each hole and opening to the rest of rivals. The truth is that when I pulled the speed was less than when it toward the Swiss, who several times came close to me back by brutal rhythm changes. In the second round started strong wind blowing and it cost more to go fast, but it's something I think I came right. In the third round and realize that maybe I was emptying and it turned to endure running pay the Bauman envestida this time if I was on the ropes in the last 10km partial. Since the transition to take advantage of a pair of light curves to make that gamble a bit and so advance the Swiss, forcing him to cede regulatory 10m so you can log onto the
The Plains " marsh "between rice fields are ideal to show off my CTB .
T2 arrival at the head of the race being the second consecutive year .
is the moment of truth, 20kms from the front and a scorching sun . Last
partial Jonas Bauman. 
Alone "cutting siluteta"
With carlos Road final outcome.
T2. PART 3 (20K). I make the transition as if it were a sprint duathlon with the intention of trying to embarrass my opponent and hold until it can go. Said and done, I go first in the T2 and marked the first 2k in 7:52 Bauman forcing it to run fast has lost almost 20''in the transition, which makes me think that is like an airplane at the time I reached before the turning point at 2.5 km, how could it be otherwise the Swiss change of pace for me letting go can not get it, peroooooooo ... .. problems begin in the 3 km cramps in the left quadriceps stretch make me stop losing 12 "to resume the march. For 6 km to reach him and Bauman this time it is I who will change the pace taking 5m, 10m, 20m, and marching and solo, passing the 10k in 40:03 and seeing behind David Navarro, Carlos Aznar legs are cut very very strong. It is at km 13 when I am struck by Carlos Aznar (Triathlon Alcobendas) having a kilometer to death trying to answer, something that does not get the 15k coming together and starting the final round of 5 kilometers yet to be decided. This last lap is the slowest, most careful that we are thinking about running, and always with the uncertainty of not knowing what will be the tactic that will follow the opponent. After several attempts at change of pace for me, with more heart than legs us planted in the last km to play us the race, I try in the absence of 500m and I see that Carlos is immediate response, which makes me think it's going well, so rule out a sprint over and decided to wait as long as possible before sprint, which otherwise is a kind, although the last 50m downhill and being a bit higher than my opponent I have long legs but I do think I can win. No color, once started the sprint Carlos Aznar than me so I can only see how it crosses the goal line from behind. Despite being 2 º I'm happy as if I'd won, for doing a mental review I find it difficult to make better career, and if it might have been smarter to have kept bike for the last run, I find it impossible, and who knows me knows that only compete in one way, and is looking forward and fighting, so I have the satisfaction of congratulating the winner who made a career smarter than mine, but knowing that would not change anything I did, even knowing that he would be second. THE ORGANIZATION: I have to make special mention of the organization and the public, then turned to the participants, making him an unforgettable day, which made me feel like a "pro", not you hear my name on any time, there was always encouraging me in provisioning, meta, controls, crosses, just awesome, I get the creeps every time I remember. A 10 for the organization and fans, who know that in 2012 I will be back in the marsh to try to show. The Aragonese: Too bad that my partner David Colclough had to leave due to physical problems when he was among the best in the race. The Triathlon Utebo be "crowned" at his baptism of fire, and with 18 º, 34 º and 98 º of Gabriel Tame, Dani Taylor and John Taylor, met and exceeded in his debut in "marjalman." Chemi "miles" (Tragamillas) made use of his experience of 2011 and back in the last race on foot to 21 degrees. Javier Clavero (Stadium Fertium Casablanca) 57 º, 56 º right behind Ignacio Lopez Usan (Baz Trialton Boreas) and Vicente Martin Mountain (Pretersa Prenavisa Turia Extrem) 65 º, debuted in the test as a solvent. The penalty was that the team did not Teruel SPORTECHTERUEL.COM a third man because he would have won the team event with the outstanding job Pasqual 6 º and 10 º Falco Collado Javier Torralba. THE MISTER. Another highlight for Miguel Lopez "Coix" that acts as a backpacker, coach, etc ... ... for all the evidence and all day, even after palizones sends me at least that I hold the key weekend. MORE NEXT YEAR.
