“I am very happy because Rachel only got me the two minutes of swimming on the finish line; By bike and on foot we have done similar partials. She is at full capacity for the Ironman Lanzarote on May 22 where she is one of the favorites. I may have accused having competed in Fuerteventura last week but of course I am not using it as an excuse. Now I have three weeks until the Calella Challenge triathlon, of which I will spend two in Gran Canaria with a lot of training load and the last one I will be more relaxed at my home in Lleida ”.
