What do you think when you can't?
We have asked our athletes what are the motivations that lead them to give that extra point at the time when the body says enough, these are their answers.
Victor Cerdà (Trail)
I think that it is a state more produced by the effort and will happen, so for it to continue
Jessica Mataix (Trail)
In crossing the finish line, in that post-carrier satisfaction, in being able to share it with the people around you. In which those who earn sure also suffer a lot, like you, only for less time. It is easy for anyone to run.
Aitor Martínez Rodríguez (Swimming)
In everything I have suffered during training. Throughout the season he suffers more than in a single race, when I am running out of strength I think about it and I try to get all that sacrifice of the whole season to end the last meters.
Pedro Cuenca (Trail)
In many things, in the family, how I have trained, in some special tour, in continuing and reaching someone ahead. I only retired in a race the first year, and it was because I was injured.
Gorka Osua (cycling)
I think especially about my wife, when we are doing after a car and I am very fair that she tells me to look into her eyes and continue because she will always be there supporting me. I also think about people who help me and collaborate with me so that I can be doing all this.
David Galarreta (cycling)
I think that being sitting in an office 8 hours is probably harder than what I am doing at that moment ... and you end up enjoying that I can no longer ...... Ajajaj
Miguel Ángel Clemente (cycling)
I think of the bad times, that I must give everything, the people I want and who support me in what I do, and that gives me strength to continue.
Iván Ortiz (Trail)
Many things come to mind, I try to make my children, my family, in my partner positive, in what I like to run through the mountain but the bad ones also arrive, in retreat, in which I hell do here.
Ada Xinxó (MTB)
In the resistance races in which I participate almost in all do you have any time to think, but where did I get? I never enroll again something like that! Who sends me to get into these troubles? But you are thinking about this and you look up and discover a spectacular landscape, a squirrel crossing the road, a magic path that begins, agree with someone, remember everything you have done to get there and make a change of chip, to the attack!
Nicholas Ward (Triathlon)
When you can't anymore, it's better not to think and let the body
María Yolanda Gutiérrez (Athletics)
In reaching the goal as soon as possible. At that time I try to convince myself that I prepared well, that I can endure, I self -deceive me to convince myself that there is no pain ...
Emili Sellés (Trail)
I focus on observing my breathing, without forcing it, without doing it or slower, or faster. I dedicate myself to feeling the internal sensations of the body, from the skin to the bones, through the muscles. Pay full attention to the present moment, enjoying that wonderful moment.
