From Triathlon News we conducted an interview to see how he faces his preparation for Kona
How do you see yourself for this test?
It is a test that I like very much and that I arrive with much desire after several months without competing. The preparation has been very good in recent months so I hope to find good feelings and make a great race.
Are there triathletes like Romain Guillaume or Will Clarke, do you see it as a test for kona?
The level of professional triathletes is very high, it is going to be a pretty and hard race until the end.
In the first place it is a competition that, as I say, I like it a lot, since I live in Sands Beach, the circuit is part of the roads I train daily and live in competition is something that I love.
Also this year will have a double purpose, although the important work is already done, if the race will give us some more data to finish tuning for Kona.
How is your preparation for Kona?
I can not complain, this whole cycle in front of the big date has been very good, we have eliminated some discomfort that had been dragging since the beginning of the season and managed to accumulate very good workouts, now we just need to get the perfect set-up and that the 11 October the stars are aligned to show the work done.
