The hour of the siesta by Felipe Gutiérrez: Today is Christmas Eve and tomorrow Christmas

Today when you are reading this column will be Christmas Eve, few trainings, some "borriquero" trot and well to prepare dinner or dinner with the family. Some other carol, a copichuela and "if you drink you do not drive".

The truth is that I find it difficult to write something as a friend would say with "my sarcastic humor" that seems to characterize me.

Yesterday when I was writing this column after an incredible "nap" of three hours from six in the afternoon to nine at night, where I dreamed, dreamed, dreamed ... I could not almost write something that could interest even me . And the incredible thing is that I dreamed awake ... The dreams of this end of the year excite me much more, but that's something else ...

Today when you are reading this column will be Christmas Eve, few trainings, some "borriquero" trot and well to prepare dinner or dinner with the family. Some other carol, a copichuela and "if you drink you do not drive".

Tomorrow Christmas, day of meals with family, maybe with friends and I am excited about the food of this Friday Christmas day, in my "dreams" I could describe how I feel like that moment. I'm sensitive, it's Christmas !!! Did not you imagine it, eh?

But there are still workouts, more "trotes borriqueros" some to train and others to lower the meals and I ... well to continue dreaming. New Year's Eve arrives and it is time to make a wish or wish and dream ... I will ask and I will dream with them.

The San Silvesters

Well, it's worth it, I'm getting very naughty and the truth is that the thousands of San Silvestre races that are there, will make a sports party become many places in a sports business as it happens with the "NIkeVallecas", a pastón for leaving with a shirt just like everyone and be a walking ad for Madrid. I do not understand this anger that comes with this? Business is business and it is fruitful. Many athletes and "many joggers of December 31", then other copichuelas and dance ... and start the 16.

In our sport a calendar with some 1000 tests among some modalities, categories ... triathlon for all and the one that does not compete a day that does not worry that it will have more days.

The clubs in January we receive new triathletes, I wait for you in the Canoe if you want, there you can prepare what comes of the season, but surely in your neighborhood or very close you will find another or other clubs wishing to welcome you. Search the club, find a coach, let yourself be advised and start, you can also be one of the many triathletes of the 2016.

In Spain, in my homeland Asturias and more specifically in Avilés, there will be a world championship, the Duathlon and with prices "ITU fee" 200 euros for running, although Fetri will subsidize the participants with 100 euros. I would like many to run to Avilés, but a good seafood is cheaper, so I do not say anything, I'm going to eat "unes barnacles", which are now more expensive at Christmas.

The finery

And the extended fashion of the Galas, where the clubs reward their best athletes and of course those of some Autonomic Federations, not all of them because some triathletes complain that their autonomy does not make them "the party".

Well not the Spanish, four years ago that does not reward the best in that Gala that I presented a lot of times, now nothing at all and I think they should resume the FETRI Gala that undoubtedly gives prestige, has emotion and triathletes, clubs and coaches we like. What is clear is that it costs "a pastón" but for that there are the possible sponsors and other "contributors" of money. How nice it was to be in the Spanish Olympic Committee in an emotional Gala, it's been many years and it has to come back, at least I think so, although I know I do not paint anything. Maybe they were other times and now there are more important things to cover.

Waiting to see the economic endowment of the Cofidis Grand Prize for the 2016, it seems that the economic amount is important. What I do know is that in the Spanish Sprint Championship (Águilas in May) they classify 50 triathletes, in the Olympic one (Banyoles in September) other 50 triathletes and the economic prize will be awarded in the Grand Final that will go to Pulpí to the hotel complex and sports called Mar de Pulpí the October 8.

Well it seems that everything is good news, at least I see it so, I think the Christmas dates have touched me a little, I hope it stays the same in this 2016 where I just want to dream ...
