SPANISH FLATWATER CHAMPIONSHIPS

September 30, 2009

polo-boti

I  participated in the Spanish Flatwater Championship on 29 and 30 August, and I won two medals, silver in K1 500 meters and bronze in the K1 200 meters, I participated too in the 1000 meters in k2 with Antonio Polo and I got the victory in the B final and with my brother César couldn´t pass the 200 meters time trial in k2.

Very good feelings in the k1, and the previous week wasn´t going well, but finally came good feelings.

In k2 with Polo since the time we planned, 3′23” ,  and k2 with my brother, we made the decision that not prepare the k2 at home and did it in the championship, and we didn´t calculate the distance between them which made paddling conditions could not because I was hitting with the paddle on his back continuously, a very big decision to take my age.

Bye,

Hi friends!

So much time that I haven´t written here, I´m sorry!!

I went to the World Championships in Canada and I got the 4th position, nearly of the medals and the victory as you are able to see in the next link http://zap.norex.ca/results/races/K4-Men-200/FA/ , but we are happy with the result because we were training together only two weeks before to travel to Canada. On the photo you can see the members of k4 200 team, Pablo Andrés, Miguel Gallo, Joan Ardit, Alvaro Bravo and me crossing the Halifax bay by ferry.

Bye!
