Siesta time by Felipe Gutiérrez: "I can't believe it"

Every day that goes by and see that days have passed in my life I read or see things that I can only think that we are going crazy.

 

A few days ago they sent me a press clipping that you can follow here: and that undoubtedly leaves me speechless. I thought “they are kidding”. Later I saw that the information was from the Diario Libre de Aragón ARAINFO and it already made me laugh a little.

Announce in a headline: "Mequinensa will host the dispute of the State Triathlon Championship", well up to that point it could happen even though when reading the article I realized that they organize the "State Championship by territories ".

For territories? I'm going to have to study geography because the territories did not hit me very much and it sounded like the war of the Indians to reconquer territories such as the Sioux, Apaches, Cheyennes, Arapahos, Cherokees ....

Cherokee Indians

Obviously my curiosity got to the point of seeing how the Mequinenza City Council announced the Championship and at least I could see that the Championship was this: "Mequinenza will host in July the dispute of Spanish Triathlon Championship by autonomies" Likewise, the Spanish and Regional federations have the same nomenclature.

So great, I hoped or wished, the territory has a joke, so ARAINFO has a point of view of what they call "free, surely some will support this nomenclature, oh my god !.

Between head and head of my siesta I wondered how many autonomies have the day of the "repesca" of the June 26 elections some scheduled test and may have to change. I went to "dive" on the web pages and saw this.

The truth is that many federations are being proactive and are changing the dates, there are still those that we indicated above, can they do them? Will they give them the necessary permits? Will they have enough troops to secure the test ?.

On the other hand there are also many tests on 25 day and it is possible that in many places they will not be left the day before the elections to take the test. I suppose that the Autonomic Federations will be ensuring the realization of them.

And the 26 highlights one of the oldest tests in Spain, the Triathlon of San Sebastian, Onditz Memorial. It would be curious that they could not dispute this classic test, I suppose they will have to find accommodation on another day.

At the moment we will continue organizing the "state territories", I am going to take a nap that makes me laugh!
