Today at 10:00 am the race started from the beach of Hondarribia. A lot of nerves, a lot of excitement and above all a lot of desire.
As soon as the crowd starts chanting the countdown, my body starts to activate and all I can think about is getting on the first TP.
5,4,3,2,1….lets go !!! I start to run and I feel comfortable, in my rhythm and I stay in the leading group. As soon as I get to the top, Íñigo gives me the marker to sign and I’m third, a few seconds behind the first two. There’s no time to lose, I head to the take-off to do a glide, the conditions are not good and the clouds are low.
I said, a glide like all the others, now it’s time to run, hours later I arrive at Felipe’s place and drink some water, I eat a little and we set off for a possible take-off and I get ready for another flight, there’s not much to do, but I manage to get a few places ahead.
It’s too late for another flight so I walk as far as I can until it’s nine o’clock.
First day completed 58.5km, very happy with what I did today, now it’s time to regain strength, plan for tomorrow and rest.
