I found it hard to find the rhythm, I was not comfortable, and I thought that running was going to cost me, but the legs worked differently", he confessed.

"I have three World Cup races and two podiums. I'm the only one who has repeated podium so far in the World Cup, that means that everything is very open, but I have shown a consistency and I am happy with how things are going", he pointed.

"A few months ago I had no idea of ​​going for the World Cup."

"I did not do the first test, because I was not interested and I did not see the World Cup as a goal, but the three races have put me in the fight and now I am, I would not say forced, but I'm not going to miss the opportunity to make a good position or a podium. If I maintain the regularity it can be done“, pointed out the Galician triathlete, fourth in the world ranking.
