The siesta time by Felipe Gutiérrez: A weekend of red, infrared, infrared ...

Felipe Gutiérrez talks about the Triathlon European Cup held at the Casa de Campo in Madrid

 

The one of "rrarro, rrarro, rrarro" said Papuchi Iglesias one day and I think it has been like a tagline when something we do not like.

Since the weekend I've been trying to square ideas about the Casa de Campo meeting and today I'm still not able to give a nod to my traditional nap this day.

Of the many and many who "went through the box office" to run the test in any of the many modalities that I had in general there is a slight aftertaste of discomfort. Let's go by parts.

 

I LIKE ME AND MUCH PARALYMPIC

 

With this test I enjoyed, some are friends of mine and I respect them as elite athletes who are, although they do not charge a euro in prizes as they should be. If they are elite, then we will have to treat them as elite, but that is not the fault of anyone other than the ITU in not establishing these premises.

Very early and as supporters of the test of the European Cup they disputed their ITU test. Few people, some friends, family and some clueless enjoyed the effort of athletes seeking to be in the world ranking and access a place in the Paralympic Games, but that's something else.

In this ITU test 15 Spanish participated and 5 medals were obtained: Gold for Daniel Molina and Susana Rodriguez, Silver for Daniel Llambrich and Alejandro Sanchez and Bronze for Rakel Mateos. Congratulations to them and the rest.

 

OWN HONEY CONES

 

I'm going to take it to "coña marinera". I already know that it is very important to have a perfect "star list", with the series matched where both play a place for Spain, where the popular ones are mixed with the federated, where in the Women's triathlon there are departures for federated and another for non-federated thing that I do not understand, where the chips give results without rhyme or reason, where nobody is happy neither before nor after the test, where, where, where ... Drafting between sexes does not matter, between different outputs does not matter, where ... the most painful thing is that for hours they have left "7 abandoned cones", Alone without protection, where they marked a turn that if you decided not to go back there nothing happened, for a couple of hours they were alone, I was lying and at some point a judge who had to go and sometime a volunteer ... well I was a volunteer and I really treat the cones with love. My mother that "test chicken", the cones were sad they did not know because they had been left alone.

And what else gives?, nobody knew anything at all. The Classifications... well, that of Madrid could not proclaim their champions in the Olympic distance, had no results and gave them "pal hair" those who expected this award, they had abandoned them as cones. Today Wednesday I still do not see a correct classifications, refined, with classifications by groups, by clubs of both the test and the Championship of Madrid

We have to protect the cones, let's stop thinking about the triathletes, they will register again, even I would raise the price, the registration would probably double, they do not suffer, they do not care about the deal, they are so cool about that give them cane ... the cones are not, they are sensitive.

 

THE CUP OF EUROPE IS NOT LIKE IN FOOTBALL

 

 

Some people told me that the European Cup had been won by a Spaniard and it was difficult to explain that he was not a European Cup champion, but one of the tests of such a cup, Congratulations Uxio Abuin, he was from Champion.

It was a shame, I played Nadal very close, Alonso It was in its 1 formula and the time was not the best, few people in the test and we were there we were a bit, I do not know how to say it, so I better not say anything, after having been in the Casa de Campo all the day of Saturday and all the Sunday, because that is the end of the test for which many dream and that some leave disappointed.

2016 arriving soon, you can not repeat mistakes and you have to study well the form and formula to attract and keep the triathletes, the sponsors, the relatives and those who could go to the country house to see an event of this type. ... if they had found out.

Well I leave for today, I hope I have not been very sarcastic, but is that something else does not come out or I can start again and ... (better shut up Felipe, do not be bigmouth)

IRON, IRON, IRON ... WEEKEND.
