WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!
Thanks for all support from friends, family, sponsors and our club in Cartagena.
The acuathlon this time was changed to 1000m swimming and 2,5km running because of VERY cold water: 14 C! Freezing! But with a wetsuit it was ok. And the SUN actually came to greet us just at the starting line:-D.
The race: I got a very good start: went first the first half of the race in the water, then a german woman passed me. I followed and got 2nd out of the water. Out of breath and in a hurry, I had to tear off the wetsuit, put on my shoes and start running. The cold air was easy to breathe and gave me new energy so I made to pass the german by 1km. I was running first a few minutes and that felt GREAT:-) But then 2 girls from Australia and Brazil came very fast and took the lead. I was already gasping for air so I could not go any faster, and the 4th girl was coming very close... But the goal was close and I made it till the end!
The result:
FIRST in my category (30 - 34years) in the WORLD!!!
Amazing!!!
Incredible!!!
And my boyfriend, Mateo Pesquer, also won the gold medal in his category (35-39years). So today we are celebrating 2 VICTORIES in the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN ACUATHLON, BUDAPEST 2010!!!
