In fact this text could be written by anyone of the participants in triatlón that is not dedicated to the sport is to say any person who works in office, is dedicated to the commerce or she is student and even it has by hobby running or to pedalear when chamba is allowed it, it likes the nature and possibly some sport of constant form practices, this is a common and current person.

A good day at the time of the food found in the zone of magazines of the famous restaurant of the buhitos the one me that this forehead to the public square of the angel of independence, in that after seeing superficially the magazines of I compute takes the glance on the Xtremo Magazine, without but it takes it and I began to leaf through it, first which I am called the attention went the call to first triatlón extreme, I had the idea immediately to participate, being frank wise person that was a remote idea, but to dream hill nothing, so the magazine pays and me it takes it to the office, I did not put it to the left flank of monito. During following the 15 days it does not pay attention to him but that when algúno that another peculiar one approached to stare at it, nevertheless a day in which tapeworm little work leafs through it again finding me again with the call, observes the electronic direction and keys in it in the computer, finally acceded to the pagina and read the details of the race, even that I must confess that the route was to me confused at first that would be to do, did not give importance him and continued sailing the site, observes the participants and I felt the necessity to register for but late to pay, to which I thought “Aun I have pain in it knees, I do not have sufficient money, I do not have all equipo…”, so I closed the site and I continued working.

4 weeks before the race and but by chances of the destiny that being something planned arrives at the snowed one for the first time in my life, there is no possible description for the emotion that I felt when arriving at the second pen where by being but of 15:00hrs did not allow the passage us with the car, reason why to after asking the access form píe arms to me with chamarron and to blow of sock after 30 minutes approximately it was to a flank of the navel of the crater touching the frozen waters of the lagoon of the sun. This experience late repeated fifteen days but with the variant minim from which it arrives at the crater in car. From I did not return there to the crater until Saturday 16.

Monday 11 of April with a pile of doubts knowing that it was even completes week before the race between a the page www.triatlonextremo.com, without thinking it but simply it fills the inscription form and card in hand makes the payment that it gave right to participate me, imprimí the registry form, the comprobante of payment, the rules of the race, between a bici maps and it looks for a map to me of the snowed one in which it locates the points of the race, the Lagoon of the Sun, the Tip of the Friar, the Park of the Deer.

Saturday 16 of April even without believing me it, that way of the 13:30 was in the Park of the Deer finding me to cuate that until the moment at which greets it it considered it like a personage whom single it would see in television presenting/displaying the program of the conqueror or participating in the Olympic Games in that Desconocidísima (for my) discipline of Skeleton, because if I talk about the very same Luis Carrasco (cuaz).

What happened next has so many shades and locks up so many feelings and emotions that would extend too much the text nevertheless did not want to let mention things like the Nevada that dressed the scene target, I congeal the borders of the lagoon and to my in the individual I cause a cough attack which it last something as well as until average night, I take advantage of this opportunity to excuse to all those to which I did not allow to sleep with tranquillity, but creanme to me that I pass it more worse.

Sunday 17 of April 10:00 a.m. we are in exit, to flank mine this Fabiola Corona, to who identifies moments in the interviews before (her I followed each weekend in the program of the Conqueror, until by chances of the destiny she was surpassed per second at the time of even taking the flag by cuate that was masterful of YOGA), for this moment whereupon she even spends bad night and that minutes before was doubting in if continuing with my participation, felt me like ready lion to arrive at the fine one and to give the best competition. Loudspeaker in hand cuaz recites: his “en marcas”, “Listos”, “FUERA”.

Half of I swim in the lagoon, beginning to feel that the muscles offer resistance, something as well as a pain with a fatigue combined, last movements of the arms to reach the border, is finished the energy suddenly as if it had been sucked, as if it had disappeared suddenly, then obstructs a feeling to me that requests to me to stop to me, I see
the other competitors, first they are leaving the water and with much energy until they are taken off the neopreno in the way.
I arrive at the zone from transition my brother Luis begins to help me to clear the suit to me, I throw in the towel and attempt to me to recover to me of the fatigue but the energy does not return, I cannot be raised and I listen: as you feel like Poncho, as you feel.

Several minutes but late, already changed I am running as fast as I can begin the ascent made the tip of the Friar, I stop several times in the way profit even not to recover completely, but I do not occur by won, I listen: “estas bien”, “Vamos Échale”, single I answer if now I go, single I need a second.

d they refuse to move, I arrive for the second time until the zone of transition.
In bici receipt breath words that raise to me I already animate “Bien Alfonso, these making carrera” very good;, I follow until the way that when coming out takes of the crater the legs no longer give but and I must lower to me of bici to continue pushing it, finally the way this but even one and can begin to pedalear, it begins the speed, now it has finished the anguish and the pain, now all passes express and even that in some parts there is to make an effort not to fall of bici or to raise small hills already I am near the goal, cronometro marks to 2 hours 34 minutes and seconds triatlón finishes.

It is my form to thank for the effort of all, arriving at the goal.
My threat to return next year, better prepared, so cuidense.
