Anyways, for some reason I am really excited for this year even though I dont have a certain plan. Last year I finished Uni and I have been practically in holidays since December :) jajajaja It was so nice to have some of my relatives come over our place and spend a wonderful Christmas and NYE. Lots of partying and traveling within this wonderful land :)
I had the best 2012 farewell i think! In December, I took part in the cycling National Championships and I took 3rd place, which I was so happy about!! I had been training for 2 weeks and our team decided to participate. The Female division had to complete a total of 65km and ended up climbing San Salvador famous 4k hill called "La Gloria" , which was a Complete Pain!! jaja I was really nervous since I knew I had not taken part in a cycling race since 2009, so I did not know what to expect at all. As long as we started the pace was really fast and everybody was breaking away in each kilometer; as a result, I got dropped from the pack and had to ride solo for nearly 5km. It was a complete suffering because of the heat and the hilly course. However, for some reason, I started to feel better and I caught one of the cycling team girls.I could tell she was struggling so much and I dropped her out as fast as I could, and kept up a solid pace, which led me to catch my teammate, Michelle. We worked out together throughout the rest of the course and caught a couple of guys that pulled us up ;) .It felt awesome to be behind their wheels for a while jejeje Though as soon as we got to the massive final hill, I couldnt stay with the guys because the pace was lifted. Michelle was dropped as well and I ended up 20 secs behind her. We earned 2nd and 3rd spot, which was an awesome result (= After that, I decided to give sport a rest for some time!!
Here I leave some pictures of my adventures :))
Alright too much pictures for now :D
