The siesta time by Felipe Gutiérrez: Today is his birthday (Eva Moral)

Felipe Gutiérrez this week talks about the paratriathlete Eva Moral

 

 

I could not sleep on a Wednesday afternoon no nap if this topic did not make me nervous and for two reasons. Today is Thursday's birthday and I want to dedicate it to my weekly column and I am annoyed that an elite athlete does not have enough economic support to develop their sporting life.

First CONGRATULATIONS, is 33 years old and is a bonbon as a person and as an athlete and secondly I am going to support you with a few euros but with something and since there are many people who imitate me or rather copy me, I hope they do the same and stop saying just adjectives like: champion, crack, pretty ... come scratch your pocket and support this athlete.

Searching the internet I saw that Eva was part of Marca's “sponsor them” plan, here you can follow it: http://www.patrocinalos.marca.com/proyecto/eva-moral-pedrero-paratriatlon/eva-moral-pedrero-paratriatlon and from that moment I thought of writing about this "crazy" triathlon.

Eva Moral

Those who do not know his story I would like to tell you a little bit above. I knew her when I was a triathlete and more than once "hesitated" in a triathlon, she always laughed and hesitated to me.

I usually follow it on facebook https://www.facebook.com/eva.m.pedrero?fref=ts or through its website: www.evamoral.es

One day she changed her life and as she relates, better her own words "The 29 of September I was prepared to enjoy a wonderful morning in the mountains of Madrid participating in a tourist cycle route.

Everything was going great, the first easy kilometers and the first pass arrived, La Morcuera, I was super strong with very good sensations and I reached the top of the pass without much difficulty.

 Once on top I decided to continue the march and go down to Rascafria, below I would wait for the rest of my companions. It starts to rain and the descent becomes dangerous, I brake gently and the bike goes away ... With such bad fortune that I hit a guardrail, I jump over it and I rush down a seven meter ravine.

I felt a sharp blow to the back and then ... Fear, fear that they will not find me, fear of the displeasure of my family ... And the certainty of knowing that I would never move my legs again.

From that moment I can only thank the treatment and affection received at the hospital on October 12 and at the National Hospital of paraplegics in Toledo, where I am currently doing my rehabilitation and with the hope of continuing to practice my sport, to get back into a pool, to feel the air in your face when you go on the bike and the satisfaction of finishing and overcoming each competition"

Uffff when I keep reading this, it gives me to think so many things ...

She is a lawyer and in a recent interview said: "My life before the accident was summarized in work and training. I worked all day as a lawyer for a bank and when I got home I removed my heels and took the shirts.

The trunk of my car was like a box office in a gym full of sports clothes, swimsuits, hats, glasses ... It took any time and "puddle" to train. "

Eva Moral

Among its objectives, Eva sets clear challenges such as attending the Paralympic Games and the different championships in Spain, Europe and the World. She in Marca tells us:

"Objective: Collaborate in my sports career

Despite having lost mobility in the legs, I have not lost my passion for sports or triathlon. Before I did it running and on a normal bicycle, now in a different way but just as enriching and with the same spirit of always improving.

In order to carry out the competitions and the challenges that I have marked in my sports calendar I need the support of many parties and in this stage in MARCA-Patrocínalos I want to count on your help Join me to my challenge!

He also participates in cycling and marathon events as well as other races. Eva is pure energy and part of her or her team, her father and her mother, give her the most followers that do not miss her eye. Congratulations to you too.

Eva Moral

But now comes the but, is an elite athlete, but only receives some help from their sponsors but needs more and that for now neither the Spanish Federation, nor Madrileña, nor ... .van to contribute enough to travel to tests.

We can put something and sponsor it with small or large contributions. Here I leave you how to do it.

Eva owes me a coffee ... okay and a signed photo too.

There are no previous results.
