A new gallery

This was from August 15…

A Very well organized training triathlon in Chamusca, near Abrantes (i dont think most of the readers have an idea where it is anyway), ok Portugal :D

2.5km of swimming followed by around 85km of bike and 15 km of running. August in portugal wasnt what normally is, we had rain and HEAVY rain during the workout but still a very nice day for the 30 athletes that joined for this.

changes…

So I promised some more news and I guess the end of my contract with
Planet-X is news.

As you all know, things have not been according to plan this year in
many aspects. Even if it is disappointing for everyone involved, I
think that in sports we need to see the big picture and stay the
course that has already brought me so much success and improvement.
Also it is important to have around people that believe in me through
both the good and the bad moments. Fortunately I am very lucky that I
have a lot of people that support me in a very positive way, and in
these last months it was possible to see who are the people that
really believe in me and are behind me 100%.

In the last months it was clear that Planet-X and I were not on the
same page regarding a lot of issues, so it was decided that we parted
ways in a friendly way. I am thankful for all the support that I
received from Planet-X these past months and wish them a lot of
success in the future.

Going Back to the drawing board

I Have to admit that i was going in the wrong direction. After IM Austria i wanted badly to race Louisville and later persuaded to race IMUK, then got back to Louisville idea, quite confusing. Not now, i had someone that opened my eyes, i guess i don’t need to say who…
With Louisville i didnt wanted to qualify to Kona, that is a dead issue for me given the circumstances. But the reason behind admitting that Louisville wouldn’t be a good way to go is the fact that i haven’t had a single good sized block of training before IMAZ, train a week, taper and try to race, that was my routine, although i was feeling fine, that isn’t helpfull in the long therm.
So i have set a new goal, Ironman Florida, period. far enough to have a real focus.
I have changed some more stuff, that eventually will be noticed, something that clearly wasn’t working in my favor.
more soon
here is a photo of my nephew that now is one year old :D
