Issue Ironman Frankfurt 2010: Xisco - Ana - Llorenç - David - Felix - Iñigo - Jose Manuel and myself.
I will go straight in and I only to chronicle the day of the Iron, as it had begun to explain from the day I arrived in Frankfurt and mess me too, haha. Summarizing
previous day, saying that was marked by extremely hot, while the Friday we got the news that was forbidden, neoprene, so the finishers of this year we can say we have been top finishers in their power, haha!
Sunday July 4, 2010
4h ... The alarm clock does not feel sleepy, I've been sleeping well these past few days and I feel so relaxed and not easy for me to get up and get going.
rosette spray to clear my head, breakfast 4:30 a.m. and put us on the bus route that takes us to the lake where you get the output. In the Ironman, the departure and arrival is not the same place, namely there is 15km from the lake where we went to downtown Frankfurt.
We all very lively group, there are many stories to tell, but I'm going to avoid because it chronicles not just not next year and you need 1 week to read it! About
5.30h boxes we list is time to stop the bike. Food, Drink, inflate tires, etc. ... And we can not have time to use neoprene pasearnos the pits for a while, go to greet friends and take off some pictures, hehe.
I'm not nervous, it's funny but I have no sense of Ironman, I do not know why, it's like a sense of participating in one attends any but as I am not aware that await me in front of 3,800 m + 185 km + 42 km ...
Finally, after sharing feelings with friends, at 7:40 a.m. went down to the lake. It is very rare to see everyone with a bathing suit, always relate a Iron with neoprene
truth I decide to jump into the water and a few strokes, are the 7.45hy give the output of the PRO, in 15 minutes would leave the rest.
water is cooler and less near the shore that this should be a public urinal, haha, but hey, you know, is what you get, so I try not to swallow any water to see if I was going to poison haha, well water was very dark ...
the last 10 min. wait yes I go a little cold stop, choose the site that would go down and hope the moment ...
7am! Departing on time, I think I placed in the worst place of all, impossible to do 3 laps in a row, it's crazy! Receiving blows everywhere .... I'm stuck in the heart of the matter ... I was completely smeared with Vaseline, which I notice that some hands slide down my body, but others do not and they hit me really. I can
Evan it forward and I have the hope of spending a few meters and is situated in a group where we go at the same rate and so do not feel that I pass over, and I have to be ahead of people, but that time never reaches the contrary, he arrived at the turn buoys that turned into a funnel where the beatings increased even more.
ufffff, go by meters and still just as bad, I just want to end the torture. I have fear that a slap or kick it because I left out of the game right away, but I try to calm down and take it easy and did not want that to end my career.
ended the 1st row, we ran a few yards across the sand and face the 2 nd. I think now maybe I will calm down the track and it seems that it was, but the "peace" takes me 100m. return to wrestling ...
taking an elbow in the eye that stops me and let me dry the glasses embedded in the face, ufffff, it hurt me ... what a mess ... face and the final straight and I want to get out of there, it seems that never came to the shore ...
finally put foot down and whisper quiet to get out of that safely. Run up the hill of sand pushed us to the bikes and see the clock in 1.28 min. ufffffff, madreeeeeeee, as he would have to run to retrieve those minutes .... and losing more minutes over complete change of clothing and over 5km on the bike, it would be like 10 min ... uffffff was complicated, but well, I was going to try!
5.30 min to get on the bike and start pedaling, this was mine, I had to give everything here.
Feelings are not bad but I need to eat, I feel really hungry, I had water made it quite empty.
begin to see the miles pass. After completing the first 15km, we arrived at the center and the thing starts to get up the hill ... Ufffff that was wrong ... 1000m. of cumulative altitude are 1.ooo m. and I did not see them or not I wanted to see, had in mind a profile "flat" and yes, it is plain compared to other Ironmans but I will say that these 1000 m. had to be somewhere and go if they were ...
ramps suddenly appeared with the goat I assure you it hurt, but not too long continued rompepiernas slides.
A ramp was paved, not you imagine what it was like going 2 times there ... I thought the bike was dismantled! Rattle and go over to the plate, then imagine. There was a great atmosphere here and people will strongly encouraged to throw up but I assure you that had it not been for the public felt like getting off the bike and not jugártela because the bike was shaking like a bad thing.
Finally, the circuit was very similar throughout, suddenly straights where you pack the bike and suddenly big ramps where grit your teeth and try to overcome as quickly as possible.
beating kilometers
I'm doing calculations and see that it will be hard to get off at 6 o'clock, I'm still averaging 30km / h but had had 5km more, it would take 10 minutes more ...
I keep doing our best, I spend a lot of fast times, when I'm about 150km, the Repechón begin to spend bill and that is when I start thinking about the marathon ...
I was leaving everything on the bike and nor am I going through my head loosened to go a little whole in the marathon, so I said "that is what God wants, but I do not loosen ... we will see later with legs that run ", hahaha!
Km 180 ... uffffff, and grazing at 6 o'clock ... there were still a few miles, not knowing exactly how, so I do not know if I'm going to get .... We approached the finish line and I like about 183km ... I take my running shoes and jump off the bike. Here volunteers waiting for you to hold your bike and keep them occupied in boxes, which by the way that I feel great detail. I pass the bike and I'm running, cycling segment ending at 5:59 a.m., ueeeeee! hahaha, it was as a personal challenge. 'm Quite satisfied with the time, seeing the circuit I found him more demanding than I expected ...
em Volunteers are coming in, I attached to my bag very fast transition and helping me stay one as needed.
This time there was no tent men and women separated in the transition from swimming, was the same for both, so I showed a little ass and what not staff is ass as I change pants, hahaha! Plus I had touched a boy as an assistant and I think it was a bit blown away when I suddenly go get my pants, haha! The boy is taking me all I have in the bag and it is bearing down on me, lol, the hood, goggles, etc ... I leave the pits at 2.30 min.
begin to run, the feelings are not too good, I feel very hot. We had the whole bike with completely overcast sky and now that I got to run out the sun .... uffffff.
look at the clock, 8:34 a.m. I race, which were missing for exactly 12h 4h 26 min, ufffff had the time to complete the marathon if wanted to achieve my goal.
As always, think positive and think that is possible, should not stop and you're ...
begins marathon, not a single provisioning forgive, I throw ice in the top, a glass of water over his head and a glass of coke I drank, and in every mile ...
spend the first few miles and I can not find my rhythm yet, I know it will take me a while and so, approximately 30 min. I stand in a toilet and from there begin to feel better, not getting too my rhythm but I find myself more comfortable.
I still have the same routine in each supplies and round 1 Complete!
begin the 2 nd and again, the pains in the abdominal area attack me ... can not be! I've done wrong now? Above is a pain where I never had before, was not in the stomach, but lower and both the right and left sides and unlike other times, it hurt me more if I played it, yet decided to put my hands and give me hot fix to see if something ...
ufffff, I'm one step away from the half marathon race took almost 10am ... how difficult it will be to achieve the desired time ... but I do not give ...
Start the 3rd round! I thought this would be the worst psychologically, but I get by quite well, suffering yes, but decent coconut. I notice that my pace down, I have to make another stop to relieve myself, but this time I had to enter the toilet, since the 1 st time almost vomiting from what I saw and smelled in there, in that cube mobile plastic seemed a sauna ... so I got behind some plants and more natural, hahaha!
I put the 3 rd bracelet, 2.5 km missing to complete the 3 rd round, only one remains! Time is bearing down on me, but I still do not give up, and thought that although not become sub12h least improve my time of 24:07 ... Calella
was pretty lively, I was not too well because belly still hurt me a lot but at least I stopped. I was happy every time I saw a friend who was leaving for goal ...
2km missing to complete the 3rd round ... ritmazo passes with Toni, and went into goal, I dragged about 50 feet, most could not follow, haha! I'm glad a lot, but inexplicably was happy from there fell into a bottomless pit ... Tightening those
the 5th meters I changed the heart of a bestial way, ufffff took me 2 km recover the missing to complete the round and from 200 m. of the 4 th lap was instantaneous ... I fell to the ground .... I had to stop immediately, I was dizzy increasingly I knew nothing about what was happening ... At first I thought he was about to faint, even thought of entering a nursing tent but I knew that if he and I would not retire, so if I fainted I collect them from the floor but I did not fall on my foot. ..
was practically stopped, could not move, was completely gone. Then I notice as much sleep, but somewhat exaggerated, as if I had been anesthetized and anesthesia I would beat that ...
I have closed my eyes, my body just wanted to stretch out and sleep, I did not care where or how, had fallen asleep leaning against a wall, floor, wherever, just wanted to sleep ... But I could not, did not know how to overcome that ...
I closed my eyes but I wanted to stay still, moving at a crawl with eyes closed, do not know what to do!
had been drinking Coke since the start of the test so I thought maybe a glass of redbull I did a pump effect and revived me ... I tried some fear that what I'd just break the stomach, but had to prove ... but nothing, the minutes passed and still fast asleep, I could not keep the weight of the eyes ....
I was going through your head lie on the ground and tell some of the spectators that I wake up in 10 min., Maybe that I recomposed, but that idea off my head as I sleep and maybe when I wake up anyone.
ufffff, I can, sleep overcomes me, I bend down, put my hand on the floor, hang my head and close my eyes y. .. ME SLEEP! If I knew it! to close her eyes as round fall ... and boy, I fell ... When squatting beside me and I fell out of all happy in my dream, pfffff, go teeeeeelaaaa ... I hacerca a runner and touches my arm and asks me "are you okay?" Buaaaaaaa was completely drogui but luckily I understood what was happening to me ... "Yeee, But I want to sleep !!!", the guy was leaving, jajajjaa, and the truth that I smile because what I was looking surreal. Uffff
that hard for God, I spend so much on the head ... worth all this? what the hell am I doing?
Finally, I rise and follow my procession, and took this as 5 km diambulando that way and my goal completely vanished, but well, it was not going to resign was to be finisher again.
remain 4km ... I think I cleared, I get to talk to another guy and I am slowly going well ... Finally! I become person! Makes me want to run again, so I start to jog ... I put the 4 th rubber, indicating that just because I lacked 2.5 km. I recovered and again I get a pretty decent pace, run, run and run and just the last 2 miles as nothing, can not be that treacherous is the body, as these things can happen ...
I enter the final straight, there is great atmosphere in the stands but I'm not too aware of what is happening ... it's like I do not see or hear too, I only see the finish arch and I go through it ... And I enter
goal! 12h 58 min, pfffff, one hour more, haha, an hour thrown away, diambulando ... sad, jajajjaa! but again finisher and now they're 3 ...
took me some time to focus and realize what is happening around me ... I stick my head in a giant bucket that was full of water with ice cubes and it seems that I begin to focus minds ....
A new experience, and you see that the last time never know what can happen ...
After meeting with the compis go and recover some strength, we spent the last hour in the stands. I was already like that, you'd think a while ago I plummeted ...
compis Delivery All had been finishers, we just lacked Ana, who made us suffer until the last moment, going into goal 5 min. for the end of the race ... How exciting to see her arrive! FULL
AL 15 IN THIS IRONMAN, THE WHOLE ISSUE AND MAFIA (volaron!! Hahaha) FINISHERS! Ueeeee! CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL !!!!!
And of course thanks for the encouragement to all those present to encourage and push us forward! THANKS!
