Challenge Barcelona, ​​certainly did not leave us indifferent.

Challenge is something that goes beyond a pure competition, it is a shared feeling of struggle for a challenge, an illusion, where each person, from the volunteers, medical services, physiotherapy, organization, spectators ... is a key element so that the objective of all the triathletes participating in this test, it goes from being a challenge to being a reality.

During our stay at Challenge we were able to share a few hours with members of the organization, beings of flesh and blood, who work and fight to offer the maximum to the triathletes who trust each year in this circuit, and where the soul, without a doubt, is Jose María, a great person, human and hardworking who does not need any kind of recognition for what he does and who is always looking for balance and improvement in all the new challenges he undertakes.
