For me this race was going to be a preview of how being involved in racing again feels like , i only swam 2km and ran 7km; i cannot say that i sucked at all, my arm barely hurt which is a bittersweet sign and i could manage to follow my sister`s feet when swimming, her pace was really fast in the 2nd lap that a gap of 15 seconds was gridged between us. When i got out of the water, i didnt seem smashed nor extramelly exhausted, so i can think that i am starting to get back to shape again. When you are injured, the best thing to be done is not to desperate and have the needed rest in order to follow a nice recovery, sometimes we want to rush and heal as fast as possible but when dealing with these kinds of injuries, patience is a key.
My sister also won the female division whilst my brother Raul was second due to cramps in the 1st lap of the run. My other teammates Jony, Miguel, Nataly and Castulo had a stunning performance as well. My coaches felt satisfied with our work, specially when seeing Tavo making the classic breakaway on the bike and nobody could follow him :).
Needles to say, today´s workout was just ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!! a super session in the pool was waiting for us jejeje but i am happy that i could hang on and finish it without feeling the classic fatigue !!! i am not strong nor fast enough to keep up Tavo´s pace, though,, my lacking of strenght, endurance, and training for almost 8 months still shows up..
Now, my arms still feel quite sore but that only means that training has kicked in..
crazy poses... joaquin and me |
