Interview with Oliver Marceau Extreme Man 113 Getxo by Artroactive

The next May 13thWill take place on EXTREME MAN GETXO - BASQUE COUNTRY BY ARTROACTIVE. One of the best medium and long distance triathlons of the moment, celebrated for the first time in GETXO, also being the first of the 4 cities where it will pass EXTREME MAN BY ARTROACTIVE. Salou (June 3), Narbonne (September 2) and Menorca (September 23) are the other three venues for the triathlon circuit.

We have been able to interview one of the greats of the international triathlon and will participate in the EXTREME MAN GETXO - BASQUE COUNTRY BY ARTROACTIVE,  Oliver Marceau

The Franco-Swiss Triathlete was the winner of the first edition of Extreme-Man 226 Salou-Costa Daurada, and this year will come again to Spain to compete in the first of the four major events of this circuit, Extreme Man 113 Getxo.

With an excellent international career since he started in this sport in 1993, he has competed in three Olympic Games since the triathlon was introduced in the Sydney 2000 program. And now, Oliver Marceau appears as one of the great favorites to become with this first place on the podium.

How is your fitness at the start of the season? How do you find yourself to face the 2012 Triathlon season?

Every day better, I've done some XTerra to start the year, and Extreme Man Getxo by Artroactive will be my first goal of the season, which also serves as a preview to Extreme Man by Artroactive Salou which is the 3 of June.

How do you see the podium options and what do you think is your strong point in this circuit? Do you need a demanding bike circuit?

I do not know the circuit, but yes, I hope it is difficult and that the good weather is with us.

Why the Basque Country for the start of the season? What makes this circuit special?

I did Salou last year and I really liked the organization and the environment of the Extreme Man by Artroactive tests. So I take it as a preparation for Salou, where I will try to win again.
