Of all the competitions, which has been your favorite?

In competitions I'm staying with the two official Ultraman made this yearIt is a test where I find myself very comfortable and the work of the team is very important. In terms of challenge, the challenge of the year was the Triple Ultraman, it was hard to face nine days in such unfavorable weather conditions (very hot) and be able to overcome all adversities.

Do you have any thorn this season? Any challenge that you have not been able to fulfill and what do you expect to do in 2018?

The only challenge and thorn in the way of this 2017 has been the double Everesting, the first time they threw the circumstances to me, the second the bad election of the port and the third I am empty. I think that with good planning and being fine on the bike, it can be achieved. This year I had a hard time taking the form after six months out of the sport in 2016 for breaks. I have not gotten well all year long neither by bike nor by foot race

Skechers is one of your main sponsors, we would like to know how many pairs of shoes you have used this year:

About six or seven pairs, three of the Ride 6 (one of my favorites) and three pairs of the Gorun 5, this has been the discovery of this year, with them I ran the two official Ultraman, it is a very light and great shoe comfort and the last ones I'm using the Gomeb Razor.

In addition to Skechers, the other two great pillars of this 2017 have been Lurbel and Conor Bikes, Lurbel has been with me since 2015 when I started with the challenge of the 100 Ironman and this year for its 25 anniversary we took forward the challenge of the Triple Ultraman.

The other great pillar is Conor Bikes, Navarro manufacturer of bicycles that has been with me these last two seasons.
