We interview Felipe Gutiérrez, new president of Km0 Triathlon

Felipe is clearly recognized among the triathletes as that restless mind that "says everything he thinks, but also ... thinks everything he says".

 

A benchmark in Spain in the world of triathlon, after 3 legislatures in charge of the Department of Competitions of the Spanish Federation, in August 2014 it embarked on an ambitious project “Designing a Long Distance Triathlon that would have a goal in Puerta del Sol itself "

With its almost "100 naps”In Triathlon News where he takes a tour of the current panorama of our sport every Thursday, we were also able to interview him when he began this hectic adventure of achieving a goal never before set: Design a Triathlon that would cover practically the entire Community of Madrid and end at KM0 de la Puerta del Sol. A triathlon that was clearly born to become a triathlon of international reference and with "Own Seal" 

A year later Felipe, and with well-designed plans after a successful first edition where he says "we still have things to improve", he delegated his position to David García, ex-director of Competitions of the Madrid Triathlon Federation.

What do you remember from this year as the Triathlon Madrid KM0 Race Director?

The phrases of uncertainty ... before the test ... ..and a year later Triathlon Madrid KM0 arrived at the Puerta del Sol. But this is not all, is that this 2016 will also reach the Puerta del Sol.

It was an "intense" year, yes, I think this is the word, which leaves great experiences and the feeling of A PROMISE, which for many seemed impossible, FULFILLED.

This 2015 will no longer be a Director of Career Who takes this position and what will be the new position of Felipe Gutiérrez in this test?

In the 2015 I was working with David García hand in hand, this 2016 will take the whole Direction, and I will go to take the position of President of Triatlon Madrid KM0

But ... What is it to be "President" in Madrid KM0?

If this were a company structure, perhaps we could define it as “CEO”…. My mission is to try to advise the organization of the event in a global way through my experience. But not only in the part of the design of the circuits, if not in all the aspects that the organization of a competition of this magnitude takes.

And what changes have you proposed for the 2016?

The objective is of course "CONSOLIDATE", for this we will work on improving some aspects that are important for us, such as the attention to the athlete and the volunteers that are key in a competition.

On the other hand I like that everything is well organized and everyone is clear about their duties on the day of the test, in a competition you can not leave room for "improvisation", so it is very important to have everything well managed before the day of the event. event.

From Triathlon News we wish you to continue enjoying and making us enjoy the Triathlon, we hope to see you also with "microphone in hand" at the finish line of TRIATLON MADRID KM0
