Ágata Domínguez writes his second post for #Feedyourdreams in which he explains how he fulfills his goals of the season to reach his challenge.
Hello! Here is my second post, what did I want to tell you things!
The good thing has arrived !! The races for which I am so training and to which so much,
so many illusion and time I am putting them.
Last week my desired products of
226ers, I did not hesitate to try them as I could, so in my first longer outing (20kms of mountain) I tried so much
Energy bars, to know how they would go during the competition,
Energy drink and
Recovers Surprised I find myself!
Everything is delicious and easy to drink and nothing heavy.
Well, to what I was going, that I climb the branches hehe this past day February 28, it had to compete in the
Trail by Sierra Elvira (Atarfe, Granada) which was the Andalusian mountain racing championship. With a 31kms route with a positive slope of 2,100m very hard! My mother, without a doubt
My best award has been to reach the goal neither more nor less.
At first I managed to find myself comfortable, running in good position and without difficulties, nor did I believe it, I was enjoying very much and without discomfort, it shows that the training with Octavio Pérez soon bring their good results,
I am huge desire to spend a couple more months And I do not tell you anything about the desire I have for summer to prepare my 2015 Ultra Trail Forests of the South!
Despite good feelings, not everything could be good, so from km 14
I started with great discomfort after a descent, And although I did not put anything around here, it has only two days of the competition I was injured with an unfortunate pubalgia, it was the worst thing that could happen to me, so a few days after the championship I went to the osteopata as soon as possible, seeking to improve the thing, and so it was,
two days of absolute rest and it seemed that although with discomfort, the thing was going well And I could run but it wasn't quite like that.
After passing the first half of the test, it was the first major climb and the happy injury already appeared,
He had to suffer technical declines. In km 22 began a few kilometers of climb and it was a key moment where
I seriously considered the retirement, since because of the effort to try to take one step and another I lost all the strength, getting to dizzy and have to ask some colleagues who climbed with me, what is called a Lady Pájara.
In the last climb I was aimed for the second time since I had about 10kms in which
Each step hurt more than the previous And it was almost impossible for me to run, in the descents each slip was to aggravate the thing a little more,
But just thinking what I had cost to get there I had to end if or yes.
The arrival at the finish line, see so many people supporting me ... arrive with the smile on that last climb,
cross the goal arc and not be able to avoid breaking to cry, I did not believe that that was over, it was a career to which I had put a lot of enthusiasm, desire and hours of training, I did not want this injury to prevent me from crossing the arch.
In summary, Trail de Sierra Elvira: Andalusian Race Championship by mountain.
- Time: 4h54 '
- Promise category position: 1 and champion of Andalusia Promise
- Female general position: 20
Now they touch a couple of weeks in which I will not be able to run, but
I will change it for swimming and rehabilitation in the pool with "Aquarunning" And soon return to train more strongly!
The following important appointment will be on March 29 in the
Pinsapo trail, Belonging to the CXM Andalusian Cup circuit, so my main concern is to be 100% for that day.
After achieving a goal, Sierra Elvira, it's time to continue feeding our dreams!
