Gustavo Rodríguez will seek to revalidate the title at the Guadalajara Triathlon

Gustavo Rodríguez leaves as favorite to get the XXIX edition of this triathlon

 

 

Gustavo Rodríguez got the victory last year and from Triathlon News we wanted to interview him to know how he will face his participation in the legendary triathlon of Guadalajara

 

After getting the Spain MD Championship, you have achieved a second place in Pálmaces and the Iberian Triathlon Championship How do you see yourself for this edition? Will you revalidate the title?

 

After the Championship of Spain I play a brief respite. Pálmaces and Triathlon Iberian were almost to set pieces after that rest, but they were tests that I did not want to lose ... now, little by little, training hard to look for a good level of form. I hope to arrive already with a good point.

Revalidate the title? ... I would love it, but that does not depend only on me. There are many people who will surely make it difficult for me.

 

This is one of the mythical triathlons in Spain. What would you highlight about this test?

A great atmosphere, demanding but beautiful circuits and an organization that makes you feel like you run at home. Last year, due to circumstances, I had to travel alone to Guadalajara but the people of the Guadalajara triathlon club made me feel like one of the group ... by the way, the spectacular post-race party !!! jejej 

 

Who do you think your rivals will be in the test?

Looking over the inscription Ivan Tejero and Sergio Marques will surely make it very difficult. But surely I have one left.

 

What will be the decisive sector in the race?

All will have their importance, I will try not to lose a lot of swimming, to sentence in bicycle and to maintain in the race.

 

How do you see the race with the change of cycling circuit? Does it benefit you?

In principle, the previous circuit was better for me. A demanding and beautiful circuit. This year is faster ... but surely as spectacular. You have to adapt to all types of terrains, we will see how I am given this path!

 

What would you say to the triathletes who participate for the first time about this race

The main advice that comes to my mind is that they prepare for a hard bike, although with the change of layout this advice is no longer useful ... so I would tell them to prepare for the heat, to take care of hydration and to keep a puntito for the race on foot.

 

And some tips for the newbies?

Well first, do not get overwhelmed with the typical tension before race. Let them relax and enjoy the competition and everything that surrounds it.
