Two weeks after Kona, last weekend Marina traveled to Miami, to contest the IM 70.3 test. We spoke with her after getting the 3ª place in her age group and qualifying for the 2016 World Championship. "I had not planned to take the start because I still felt tired of the World Cup in Hawaii ... but this sport is very engaging and I finally participated.

Swimming was a little complicated by the jellyfish there were many! And then on a bike I had to stop because of a mechanical problem, although I was able to continue in the race. The a priori circuit seemed very flat ... but in the race it became quite hard. To finish I would like to tell you that I am very happy, this has been a super full year, meeting wonderful people from the world of triathlon, I have also traveled a lot doing what I like the most.

Everything has been possible thanks to my boyfriend who shares with me this passion for triathlon "
