How and when did you start in the sport?

I have always done some sport ... but continuously ... (thinks) ... I started at the Institute with 15 years. Then it was swimming and almost to the 30 years I started running.

To "enjoy" running? ... Perhaps this last year is when I have begun to feel this connection with nature that gives you the race on foot.

How is your day?

During the day working in the pharmacy, in the afternoon I go out to play sports whenever I can. As soon as I have a few days off, I escape to any city, country ... anywhere!.

"Traveling and playing sports are two of my greatest passions"

How would you define yourself in three words?

Independent, dreamer ...... (she keeps thinking) ... Reflective?

 

And when did you meet triathlon?

First it was swimming, then running ... and I already signed up for a Super Sprint Triathlon. The truth is that I started doing everything on my own, until I met a girl who was in the club and I signed up.

There I started something more “seriously”, with directed training sessions and more specific sessions that, apart from coaches Ángel, Antonio and Julio and my club mates, I also share with María and Mónica with whom I will debut in Sprint on June 18.

"The truth is that with these workouts the improvement has been remarkable: The times tell you ... and this makes you feel that the" work is well done. "But above all for me the most important thing is that I train in this way. has helped to enjoy the sport much more "

Swimming, cycling or running?

Swim

And later?

(... and laughs) ... .. Run?

But the best of you and the sport is your secret "love-hate" relationship with the "running". Tell us how it was?

Uf ... if I think about running ... for me it has been the hardest thing.

I went running and I was assaulted a thousand sentences to the head Why are you going? Stand up! But do you like this? .. But ... if people do it ... it will be fun ... But I do not like it! ... You're not good at it! ... Well, will you have to try? Will I have to improve some day? ... Look at you ... that does not improve ... But ... I have to do it ... the rest is ... then, this running ... Something will have, will not it ?.

A madness So all the time!

But the kilometers were falling, maybe I was even angry, but I kept trying day after day.

Then I came home and the truth was that I felt great. I kept looking for that "formula" in my head that I could not find a solution ... I was looking for that balance point in which to get to enjoy running ... I had to exist!

A year ago, I joined the triathlon club. There they started the group meetings, strength training, series ... and suddenly it had improved!

It was time to go out alone again. I put on my shoes and went running ... Suddenly I was enjoying! Enjoying that loneliness, that connection with nature ... the truth that is incredible, you, the way, your shoes and that feeling of freedom. In those moments you do not need anything else to feel happy
