"But the truth is that it's a new experience, I'm enjoying it and learning a lot."

Meanwhile, the triathlete continues with his preparation for the world championship. He travels to Australia on Friday to start competing, although he acknowledges that the important thing is "to be well in the month of September to fight."

He added that competing "at home, in front of the people I know, motivates me."
