The hour of the siesta of Felipe Gutiérrez: The "Ferragosto"

The truth is that August is par excellence the month of rest, of vacations, of "I do not want to do anything and I'm going to lie down in the sun" and of course of the naps so Spanish that I follow the foot of the letter "only" on Wednesdays, hobbies that one has.

Fortunately in Spain we can enjoy the sun, the beaches, the beach bars on the beaches, the open premises until late at night and almost the next day.

All that is very good, but those three or four weeks of the month it seems that our sport has an important break. The triathletes, some of them, take their sometimes obligatory vacations depending on the family, friends ... and they make a break that undoubtedly benefits them in the face of what many call "the second part of the season".

I never understand it, until I realize that they are not pros, that they are simply practitioners of this sport and that's it, you do not have to look for "three feet to the cat".

Anyway, summer makes the triathletes move to the sea or the mountain and there they can practice open water, or hiking or simply running on the mountain, at least they keep doing something "in fits and starts."

But the worst is when August practically closes everything, enters the FERRAGOSTO as the Italians would say (it is an Italian festival of a secular nature celebrated on 15 August and that is often accompanied by mass exodus to beach or mountain places), everyone leaves, in Spain something similar happens, they go "almost" all, and I say almost all because the people who work for the TRIATHLÓN MADRID KM0 in the absence of 53 days here we were trying to close points of this test that the September 27.

Meetings, more meetings, revision of the work plan, team visits to numerous sites, authorizations management, assembly, daily plan ... and even take calls from people who want to run this test in the 2016, but man who has not yet We have finished the 2015 !, but everything will be done.

Everything is under way and for the team of Annapurna Sport Team there is no ferragosto, there is no vacation, the days go by very quickly towards the 27 in September.

No doubt we hope to see you all at the Triathlon Fair that will be mounted on the T2 on 25,26 and 27 in September and at the goal of the 0 Kilometer at Puerta del Sol.

At the moment I think I'm going to hit a little eyes and dream about that final day of September 25.

I hope that as long as you all enjoy the FERRAGOSTO, that you are careful out there with your bicycles, that there is a lot of uncontrolled driving and that you prepare for the rest of the season, eat well, drink the necessary things and protect yourself from the sun. See you around.
