Se busca piscina

Alguien conoce una piscina en Bruselas que habra los meses de Julio Agosto ? Acabo de recibir la mala noticia que mi Segunda Casea (Piscina Saint-Joost) cierra durante estos meses.. snif snif

Swimming Pool wanted !!

Does anyone knows a good swimming pool in Brussels (close to Schaarbeek) that opens the whole summer ? I just received the bad news that my lovely second home is close on July and August. snif snif.

Training

Mi quinta semana de entrenamiento :-)



My fifth week of training :-)

La gente canta con pasion... Que viva España!!!

I know, this has nothing to do with the Ironman, but !!!! God damn it !! Finally we pass through semi-finals Europe 2008


Esto no tiene nada que ver con el Ironman, pero CONIO!!! ya era hora de pasar a semifinales.

30 grados.

Hoy me ha costado mucho correr una hora :( Con 30 grados y viento sude demasiado, mis piernas estaban un poco paradas, estaticas, pesadas. Quizas me estoy acostumbrando demasiado al clima de Belgica donde tener mas de 25 grados es algo excepcional. Durante la carrera pense, "si esto me cuesta, imaginate dentro de un anio en Lanzarote, con viento y calor mucho mas fuerte"



Today it was painful the running hour :( With 30 degrees and winding, I sweat a lot and my legs were quite static and heavy. Perhaps I'm getting used to the weather in Blegium where having more than 25 degrees is quite exceptional. While running I was thinking "if this is hard, imagine in one year time in Lanzarote, with stronger wind and heat"

A Master Class

Algo para la semana que viene. Voy a seguir los consejos de este Super-Ironman (Ganador 6 veces en Hawaii)



Something for next week. I'm going to follow the advices coming from this Super-Ironma (6 times winner in Hawaii)

Neverending story !

Yes, you are right! I was thinking ... "how many laps left?"


Si, tienes razon, estaba pensando "Cuantos largos mas me quedan?"

Mi Segunda Casa / My second home

Aqui les presento la que sera mi segunda casa a partir de ahora (Baden van Saint-Joost)

I present you what is going to be my second home for now on (Baden van Saint-Joost)

Uiii

A little bit late, but here it goes, what I have to do during this week.






Un poco tarde, pero, aqui va la rutina para esta semana.

I forgot to mention

I forgot to mention the shop where I bought the Mizuno. It's worth to mention it because the guy didn't want to sell me the most expensive sneakers but rather the ones that would fit me better. Cool shop!.

======================== //========================

Me olvidé de mencionar la tienda donde me compre las Mizuno. Vale la pena mencionarlo aquí por que el tipo que me las vendió no me quiso "vender la moto" (las más caras), sino aquellas que más se ajustan a mis necesidades (maraton). Fantastica tienda!

Niño con zapatos nuevos

Después de un año y medio con las viejas playeras, ya era hora de cambiarlas por unas nuevas. Como decimos en España, "mas vale malo conocido que bueno por conocer". Así que decidí comprarme playeras de la misma marca, pero el nuevo modelo (Mizuno Waver Rider 11). Estoy esperando a terminar de trabajar para irme al parque a correr como un loco!!! Dios mio! Me estoy convirtiendo en un freaky!!

Alter one year an a half with the old sneakers, it was about time to change them for something newer. As we say in Spanish “Better bad already known that good that might come”. So I decided to buy the same brand of sneakers but the new model (Mizuno Waver Rider 11). I’m waiting to finish my journey at work and go to the park to run like a mad man!! Oh my GOD. I’m becoming one of them, the freaks.

I'm done with you !!

Cada vez que miro este video puedo verme a mi mismo, discutiendo conmigo mismo.



Everytime I watch this video I can see myself arguing with myself.

No pain, no gain! What the f...

Tercera semana y ya comienzo a sentir el dolor en mis piernas ai ai ai
Despues de correr 90 minutos, EL DOMINGO, termine el dia con un andar un poco gracioso. :\

Segunda Semana / Second week

Hoy comienza la segunda semana de entrenamiento. Esta semana me servirá para introducir, lentamente, el entrenamiento de natación y bicicleta. Durante los dos primeros meses, el entrenamiento semanal de bicicleta lo realizare en el gimnasio (Spinning). El spinning me servirá par coger un poco de condición antes de salir a la carretera.
