Guayasman started as a distant idea of \u200b\u200bmaking long distance races, the idea matured through Laps at Cotopaxi and confirmed with Huairasinchi I jumped the longest and strongest triathlon having my beautiful country of Manuelito.
pa UIO Travelling outside run
unforgettable experience and unbeatable for the first test of a distance 70.3 (miles, which equates to 113km) or also called HIM (Half IronMan). The arrival in Guayaquil good, a decent flight and to address the Base Naval Sur, where you IronEcu Iron JuanCa and welcomed me as a buddy over, and place where the feeling it was a triathlon.
And what I came the day before the competition and time ran out stops too fast, you need to buy it, enlisting the ships to have a spare tire and pump, q are clean and operating at 100 %.
JC craft and mine ...
Sunday August 16, 5AM arrived and the alarm sounded and everyone to join, get the tri-suit and load the bikes, backpacks and suitcases with everything you need in vehicles and go to Lake Chongon, where would be heading.
donning wetsuits with fatigue copañeros IronJuanCa IronEcu and, with David also made his debut and all members of Route 42, generating all the excitement inherent to my first HIM. View Guayaquil attended a friend to me and fill me with excitement, getting ready in the rag and it was time to exit ... ducks to water.

The lake with muddy water and not very nice I was in a box in the water, that, then tried to move and accidentally banged others and they beat us. More or less half of the first buoy, which was when I realized I was in a zig zag. To avoid discomfort in the chest ended up doing the rest of the lap to pass the buoy and the second round much better, and without bothering or being bothered about, breathing as it should be double-side and a freestyle lot better. I leave the water and polar discourages me, more than 10 minutes should do, but to focus on the race which ends March 1 disciplines. Concentrate and jogging while the neoprene I drew me to the transition, I wear socks and go pushing the bike.
Paso area and one of the judges of the race I said that I'm in the place you can upload to the bike, which pro jump and the momentum gained in the trot and look smooth climb shoes and glued to the pedals, I placed them, I adjust to the road, 2 laps of 45 km on the bike all very well. Beats no more than 160, quiet, I knew the race was long and various disease does not stop and let me be at my best, so do not overdo. In the best rotating increases without rupture (2 very hard climbs on the course, or 4 times you suffered). Throw downs in the higher turnover and possible dementia, as much as possible attached to aerobic and leg while calling for a stronger start and there was. I see two IronMan with whom enlisted all go like arrows, but exceed, which they would bill later. I focus on my career and my rhythm, I think the bike ride, go on breaking more air, cool off and drink well for me that heat is not dehydrated, eating anything tasty every hour these gels, but they work. I suffer on the last steep climb and the return of the last lap of bike, think of the trot. Put him great strength and enthusiasm.

cycling and back to the pits and the last transition. I come from a totally complete 90km cycling (not how) and as a pro also only half, pushed it to the rag again, I leave, I wore my jogging shoes take my cap with gel inside and jogging. Getting used to a reasonable pace of 165 beats me trot about, I would not overdo. Since I only have 21 km of jogging. The sun begins to appear and kill with heat. Take the gatorade at each water supply or demand to jump him and drink too. First round of 7 km and feel reasonable for the effort, keeping a good pace on the trot. Promise to myself that I will not stop at least one more round, not walking, not stopping, not falter even when the body needs and that "torture" is gone. Throw enthusiasm and excitement and encourage my friends with whom I meet at every turn, able to smile even in the 2nd round shows that I'm fine. Ending the second round and think that I can not afford to walk. There are only 7 km, has suffered because of 106km and you will not loosen the end, you get a bag of coca cola and carbonated cold at that time is paradise.
IronEcu sufirendo recent
miles of jogging (I have pictures of me in the trot, and wait to get some q)
Please refrain cramps and starts last turn, the body wants to stop, the legs respond to the urge to pull one step further and a little faster than the previous lap, unfortunately the stomach begins to think differently and devovler the last sips of Gatorade and gel, I prefer clear stand not turn my head, put my shoulder and vomiting while I jog. Once, twice, repeated vomiting between 16 to 19 km of the run, I think in total about 8 times. Missing 2km decided not to give up and just put a cool head and shell burning, the desire and head are stronger than the body wants to lie there on the ground. Last water supply and prefer to avoid taking anything less than a failure and Km in the trot all makes sense, all worth it. Knowing that I regained myself, I'll get checked before 7horas was the main objective.
Delirar the last 100 meters, running and out of my pocket the Jolly Rogers waving in the air as I pass the finish line. Complete the adventure and find your friends ... feel fatigue in the muscles too hard, but be happy for that very reason.
Meet with friends and watch IronEcu tired, busted by a long throw to the bike, having also made IronJuanCa longer than expected, reaching almost dead but David had made his first HIM, and the routers are happy to achieve its objective Mario and Ruby, the first very very tired and very happy second. Thanks
to all who gave me messages of support, who'll be thinking about sufirendo in the heat of Guayas. Special aradecimiento and dedication to Carlos Lobo whose friendship is amazing, Adry for joining to train in open water and desires, my brothers without them could not have done and IronEcu and JC, and proven competency IronMan who gave me tips, accommodation and the best environment for such a good competition.
And it was all over for me, and sat watching the awards, and in my category (20 to 25 years) call my name ... turned out the 3rd ... INCREDIBLE !!!...
And so it was worth it! Q
rich is to be on podium
Now if a hug and I recover from leg and back pain that charge ... a good time. A major objective for the 226Km of Zürich IM!
