What an amazing day!! Things went perfect from the beginning, I had very good sensations all day long. I swam in the leading group, took the bike more conservative than other times, 200 Ks are a lot and I wanted to get fresh to the end of the bike and the run. I felt strong in the beginning of the run and I was able to make a good gap and keep it till the finish line. Last 2 Ks were tough, the legs suffered a lot from the long ride, but I keept pushing and got this precious victory.

Very happy and satisfied with this victory in my first big goal of the year, the work done in Club La Santa in Lanzarote was worthy and I see that we are in the right way. Very motivated for the rest of the season.

Next challenge Wildflower Triathlon and after that my first Ironman of the year... ¿do you imagine wich one?

Thanks for you support, you all make things like this posible ¡¡Big hug from Abu Dhabi!!

The Sailfish G-Range was voted no.1 wetsuit of 2009 by the readers of the biggest european triathlon magazine Triathlon. Its predecessor the Sailfish One was third in this ranking only 0,4% behind the second place, and the Sailfish Attack got 10th place, confirming Sailfish as the leader brand in the european wetsuit market.

The wetsuit can´t be my excuse after a bad swim!!

Awesome two mountain bike days in Lanzarote. I wanted to do this race just for fun and to get a good workout in my legs. First day was a fast 34 kms. stage with very low technical difficulties, I finished 7th. Today 60 kms. much harder and technical, I felt tired in the beggining of the stage in part because of yesterdays stage and the afternoon workout... but I felt much better once we passed halfway and I finished very strong and wanting more kilometers, hills and mountain bike!! I finished 15th, It could be better if I didn´t get lost in one of the crossroads, but the result wasn´t important for me this weekend, 8th overall in the final 2 stage ranking. Next year I will do it again if I can, better with my full suspension BH. Now time to get back to the road on my Triathlon bike.

Hard day yesterday, the competition and the course were tough and I had to give my best to get the second spot on the podium. I got closer than ever to the first place, I had a quite good feeling on the skies, not for the first kilometers, because my legs were very tired after the 20 kms. on the bike, all uphill and with very strong bikers like Patxi Vila (pro cyclist). Victory was again for Victor Lobo, specialist in this discipline and very good on the skies, I tried to follow him once he passed me but his skills on the skies are much much better than mine and finally he run away with the win.

Very nice weekend in Ansó, happy with my season start and having great fun with the event. Winter triathlon is a complicated sport and stressful at some points, you have to take care of weather, snow conditions, race course conditions... and be ready to make changes in your equipment (bike, bike tires, skies...) till the last moment... but you know what... I love this sport!!
