Kalmar's Ironman in Sweden last chance for Gustavo Rodriguez.

After the attempts of Wales (3º), South Africa (13º), Brazil (4º), it is the turn of Sweden where the Galician Gustavo Rodríguez will seek qualification for the World Championship this Saturday Ironman from Kona.

After staying at the gates of qualifying for Hawaii, in the last Ironman played in Florianopolis last May, now everything is played to a card. In Kalmar next Saturday, August 17 there is only one option that is to win, since in Sweden will only dispute a place for Kona.

For the past few months, the Galician athlete has planned a training cycle solely focused on this event. Kalmar has become Gustavo's obsession since May. Long swimming sessions, endless bike rides, and countless kilometers of running have been his daily routine.

In this Ironman and as in the previous ones, for Rodriguez, swimming will be the decisive sector and the one that will mark the success of the test, since the less time you give in swimming, the less the energy expenditure you will have to do by bicycle to cut distances and with greater probability of victory will have when it comes to running down.

Gustavo Rodríguez has been traveling the world for a year, in search of the qualification to play the Ironman World Championship and until now he has always stayed at the gates of the classification, hopefully in Sweden he can reach his goal, a dream that is sure to be deserves.
