I Get Re-occurring Cluster Of Blisters On My Butt

10000 Los Del Soplao

Go, with the chronicles that I have done in 3 years and is still not quite know how to start ...

all goes back when I started in the mountabike, already does this 3 years but when we started in cycling usually seek information, advice and through that met a number of Blogs, which spoke constantly of this type of test (The 10,000 From Soplao), everyone said wonders for your organization, environment, etc ... So I decided that one year would come to Soplao and that day came ...



Friday 20 May
sounds the alarm for 5:30, I can easily get up because I have a great desire to experience and between nerves, anxiety and know that the Soplao I will also rediscover with great friends that because of the distance we can not see so regularly, I feel like a toddler when going hiking for the first time j aja.
Luckily yesterday we left everything ready, so Carlos as I had already held the bags, lunch, dinner, etc ... Since we were in the car caravan Vicenç , with Ada and Santi , the five of us went to Cantabria, where we would meet to Fatima (The Chief) and 3900 people haha.
We stayed in Sabadell at 7am so we had to leave from San Adrián before, load the car and APAA Sabadell, just 10 minutes but it was Vicenç , parked the car and started to unload the bags and bike I approached to greet him and ups this breakfast, we welcome and first story:
Clara: Ei Vicenç are you? You've done the Soplao?
Vicenç: Buff the first year it rained a lot and finish 30. (Yo entendí esto)
Clara: Joder que bien, no!!
Ya llegan Ada y Santi , nos saludamos acabamos de colocarlo todo y venga nos vamos a Cantabria…Durante el viaje voy intentando resolver algunas dudas, ya que es el 3er año que acude Ada y Santi , así que les pido consejos, mi reto es no superar más de 10 horas, Ada el año anterior realizó 9:30 buaa que tiempazo ehhh..Bueno a lo que iba qué sino me pierdo, Ada commented to :
Clara: Oysters often made Vicenç time in Soplao not?
Ada: Vicenç But if you have not done the Soplao
Clara mean to me this morning I'm told that on 30
Ada: Vicenç "you have done the Soplao?
Vicenç: Nooo, this is my first year
Clara: But to me this morning I've said it stayed the 30
Vicenç: Noo I told you the first year it rained a lot and ended only 30 ..
Imagine the trip, between one thing and another came several anecdotes this, that if the spokesman of them, a servant, it is clear that 10 hours will allow for much .. ja ja ja








                                        
Between this and then we go through the soap factory and I who understand lizard lizard Hams ... By the ENT (c'mon I was the clown of the way).

Once we Cabezón, we met with Fatima (aka the Chief), while the car parked caravan and went to pick up the dorsal, buf the atmosphere that is breathed in the town was festive and it was my nerves and excitement were at the surface, went to the tent Ibikemecanic,





salute Annaba l Jordi hugs, chat etc and pick up the dorsal buff I was hallucinating, fine organization, the incredible tent, all marked by the number of dorsal while a man was informed of the aid stations , travel etc.. ....
the dorsal already decided to go Carlos and I stayed at the hotel where we sleep, given that the caravan could not fit all, so Fatima , Vicenç , Ada Santi and slept there and Carlos and I in a super hotel in a 2 km Carrejo Cabezón, but organized the lunch and dinner all together in the car caravan. After staying at the hotel, leaving prepared clothing, shoes, helmet, etc. .. We went to the tent Ibikemecanic where Paul appeared (Friend and fellow Forobici) but what was my surprise when I saw also that he had come Luis (also friend and companion of Forobici) SACU that luxury, I was really touched, buf reunited with good people, was also Ghost eh!


Between talk, memories We are getting late and we went to dinner, where I took to calling Alex (teammate who was returning from performing Titan convalescence in the arm after suffering a serious motorcycle accident many years ago) As for the boy not to admire ja, I told him where to find the exit in the caravan and also agree with Merçe Pacios, Ramón Sagues and Charly , laughter, jokes and greetings dinner ... back to the hotel and sleep for tomorrow is the big day ..
Saturday 21 May
5:30 The alarm clock haha \u200b\u200bhistory repeats itself, we got up and had breakfast in the room, we stayed out at 7 am, because with more than 3000 registered voters was essential to have a good site , so I'd rather get up early and wait there,

with nerves and we left a little before we reached the exit to 6 : 45 still had almost 400 people, the time appeared Ada with Santi and then Moreover, the atmosphere was incredible, is difficult to express in words, the participants of MTB, Marathon and all the great fans who had hair like hooks buf,


as we approach the departure time, you find a comment after the race at the finish, I remarked to Ada do not think it take me over an hour and if we call you had a mishap, it was clear that if Merçe entire course would be conducted it by far the winner, but still did not know he was going to do (since you are having a great season rally, the first overall in the Open of Spain and the long runs this hurts a little), starts sounding the ACDC music .. Alaaaaaaaaaa that strong.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMgxZ0N3rYA

The heart begins to accelerate, I look at the development (like go out on a rally race, pulled strong shoes, sprocket wear plate and 3) but when the fireworks sounds, and turns out of fear and caution do not make a butt out, we left the town and the track once the car departs .... Hence it does give me life and all I can sprint and more, had the profile of the route on the handlebars, with all the aid stations marked, as I'm not eating much, I tried to assess progress so stop in which believed more productive for my
Already a Once inside the course, I tried to go flat legs felt some discomfort, but still did not stop pedaling with all my strength, I tried to go to Ada, but she made a spectacular exit and lost sight of, however it had Santi located Carlos and coming from behind, while going up hear in the background:
-Clara veooooooooooo you, you veoooooooooo.
J aja knew it would be an unforgettable experience and I was going to enjoy, but listen This was Vicenç aja j coming from behind with Fatima , just missing for me on, but I was doing my pace, rising to Soplao the kitchen was the hardest (that I had commented) I was going up to pace, and spectacular descent make up the effort of the climb, so if very fast and very stress field to be quite loose, never stopped in the first two aid stations that were in the km 20 and 34, I was fine and needed nothing, so I decided to stop in there at the foot of the Moral, the first 2 hours I became very fast, now it was up to the toughest stretch of ramps 20% AA Mount, I was pretty psyched, so when I came harder ramps pan and put up until I found a cap that forced me to get off the bike and push a few meters,

;

                                   
the atmosphere was spectacular difficult to define, people dump at all times, occasional background bagpiper play, buff is very exciting, not realizing it had reached where I stopped supplies to replenish the container, was km 66, the organization 10, I took the drum filled me, I peeled the banana, they offered me ham sandwich, pasta, Coca-Cola, etc. .. I was hallucinating, they did so with humor and heart, I I was stunned by the surrender of the people I met here Vicenç energy was recovered with a few snacks.





Then let's go, now plays up the famous Moral (buff how many times I read this climb) remember Ada told me that when you thought there were still crowned several meters, in order for him as Moral, ha ha, lying is a rise rather than picking up your pace is very nice, pass me and talked Merçe soon, while also going Paul , here agree with several groups who encourage me, chatted with some riders and I'm beating up, but my feet hurt ups and much is me are sleeping, uy uy this is over tightening the boot, I'll ainsss (freshman) clear the custom of Rally courses here so many hours, I am going loosening up, but she was been the pain, buf that uncomfortable ride, I feel a constant tingling and I passed many bills go kms pulling plate, good practice makes perfect ...


Under Moral to face Cruz de Fuente, buf kms are spending despite these minor mishaps I feel pretty good, lively and wanting more buff nothing to do with what I got to experience last year in the pedals and that I have come here to stop, nothing to maintain, much less, before boarding another Source Cross supplies, but I feel so well that I have need to stop, so I decide to go ahead and stop at the next, umm serious mistake because this time I went through this port a bit, several times coincided with several groups, but either one going to a larger point that I and others below, I passed a police motorcycle, cheering and talking during a stretch of the climb, flipaaaa the police have gone to and the best, sympathy and encouragement gave me, between this and people screaming,
xavalucaaaaaaaaa "Come and well with a pair of ovaries
Buf overcame the rise, but this section was coming again, and what appears in previous years could recover quite well, now it was the opposite and could increase the time in 15 or 20 min with a decrease but to climb up again, I just wanted to get to supplies I had been without water and heat pressed, I would have loved to coincide with Ada in a victualling but it was impossible jooo how strong is the girl ...


Well to continue the path, buff I was proud to see how he had been overcome kms and still had the strength to sprint several stretches of road or in some other rise, this time I had to re-upload the Moral, and before it decided to stop at the refreshment, here I relax a little more, all by my calculations I will meet not exceed 10 h, loosened a little more me shoes, I fill the can, I like a couple of bananas, I drink a Aquarius and before to resume the route come tell me now if you deserve an award and I ate a chocolate croassant I sat in fear ummm.
now only thought of the Moral, being the last climb the climb quite happy with agility and pace, we are a group together and I'm surprised to see so many people down, tell them that by going down and tell me there are still many people who are in the path of the courses, past and buff that I see down to Annabel and i Jord, I get excited to see them greet and encourage you, come come is already less

buff I see the end of the challenge, and there is less and what remains is lowered, SACU I have it I have it, tightening up the final roll I want to meet with my colleagues , are just a few meters and finally step goal, the first thing I do is look desperately to my friends (Ada, Santi, Alex, Vicenç, Fatima) but not locate, I agree with market already changed:
Clara, EIII that time you did?
Merçe: Not if I have finally removed the Moral
Vayaaa, talk and ask if they have seen and Ada Santi, I noted that are few meters and Ada see me with a face of joy, excitement etc. This buff can not be explained.


Hugs, pride, satisfaction, a mixture of emotions that are worth more than any podium, glass etc ... I ask 9:14 tomaaaaaaaa time has reduced over time and with the new section, which is great, Santi also reduced 1 hour per year (that big) Alex came in between two and Vicenç the head and entered 5 min apart, now it was waiting for Carlos , here was half worried as this was the first time we did something separate, we will not go together, but this time I wanted to prove to simulate Pedals, I arrived with a time of 9:48, I would have liked to reduce the time about my companions, but could not be ...
After a while, gets Luis (Peguero) course pleased me comet that coincided with Carlos should not take
After 1 hour, Carlos get excited, but for me the most exciting was hosting Santi, who no doubt put the tray of pasta and went to meet merging into a big hug ...



With this I say all the Soplao has a special magic, an environment to be lived, no doubt return, not as a personal challenge to reduce the time, but the whole set of emotions that I experienced and have a special day full of great emotions,
Carlos coincided with Laura much of the route which made it more enjoyable for both
after summarizing the experience of each one of us and bla bla bla, we said goodbye and went to shower, since the award was at 21h and could not entertain more, so we went to shower and to the council,

which presented him the award to Ada for their 1 st position and Fatima for being the first of its kind, I got on the podium for the photo being the 3rd of females. .







And now to dinner, where we agree with the alligators, where I chat with Mary ... while we ate we watched as they arrived even more runners and even had people cheering, is admirable, now had to go to the camper and to surprise to the Chief, as it was his birthday while in the Soplao and wanted to give a detail ....



Sunday 22

We stayed in the caravan for breakfast self breast ham (as the head) No Lizard ehh not as Carlos and I had to move the hotel, we went to buy the daily bread, breakfast deserved after playing back home,


but Some fatigue was noted during the trip ha ha -


CONCLUSION:
An unforgettable experience , where I enjoyed much of the route, the environmental organization, the limit is us and no matter if you get the first or last, the important thing is to come and enjoy every moment, every word of encouragement, seeing as delivered people to the event with enthusiasm, willing to make that joy is transmitted between brokers ...

Now it recover from the damage of fiber breakage that I've had bad head ..

Publix Grocery Delivery Service

Open Barcelona (Taradell)

Today Taradell we moved to a town Osona, which will host the 4 th Open Barcelona test and as expected the pressure was rain, so even raised me not to go, but of course then the guilt would have been much worse, so at 23:30 I decided to prepare everything to go to the race ..


Sunday May 15

Umm up to laziness, haha \u200b\u200bbut each time I hit over the sheets, alarm clock rings at 6:40 am but of course knowing that I'm an hour away, I dragged its feet, I hit u 7:00, I jumped out of bed and first thing I do is look at the state of the sky, APAA that look good, breakfast Carlos and I got dressed and laid the bike once we're just coming up to Parets ups I have not taken the jersey, will start well ehhh .. turn around and head back home and with the jersey in the car back to the path to Taradell ... We more or less time, since registration opened at 9:00, there were many people doing the circuit, and commented that there was very muddy sections but that everything was done on the bike, after payment of the registration


commented to Carlos going to see the circuit, nothing more to start the first downhill, Carlos slips and falls, I wonder what this is and will continue rolling with Carlitos (companion equipment) is a Mercer narrow bends down to have some accompanying drop easy, we tumbleweed and false track climb, again a fast path through several puddles, very very slow increase in the intensity of clay that he choked, track down where you could recover, and then I get to look at the time, Carlitos DIOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS are 9:55, sure people are in corralinas, mother to a nervous breakdown, but this circuit when it ends ... At that point I was a lot going through your head:
- But you'll be dumb as you think to go around the circuit over time so just
- You'll see me not going to stop running, for being late
- Buf if they let me run, I will punish and I will leave the last
We were in shock when, we rolled up on a mountain very fast down the other back, we met some guys who tell us that they are already giving out about us to catch the road to go faster, buf that burden:


we reached the exit and I see already people on the grid, but decided to get me to see that females are still in corralinas, told the commissioner very .... ahem (I miss u and if they have not called to females) Commissioner somewhat upset about not being on time (if you have any reason) let me put myself in corralinas and you go in the correct position, then I hear my name u ( APAAAAAAAAAAAA That surprise is Ada and Santi , But lacked the Race Tour: "O. but no, I was confused because they were non stop stage and have been a surprise) That cool (thanks for coming).



This time out makes it different, because we always behind the Elites and today we went with the Masters 40 of rivals this Mar Franco and Meritxell as Nuria Espinosa was back in the Titan , so today was a great opportunity to see my status and beat me with Mar .
3-2-1 PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

output is given do not look back, is not allowed, I make a good start positioning myself well enough, my goal is to tease out Mar distance and get it until just before the finish line skate wheel me and moves me in the end nothing happens, I think I put a wheel and try to endure, if I feel good on the last lap because I give everything and bang .... We
to start the second round and I will wheel, Pegaditas to it, people encouraged me so that later, but I think there is still another turn, regulates and you'd better stand and how I was comfortable and therefore strongly preferred different mentality to take it when we reached the trail leg and broken down, I decide to advance it, taking a good bit but after a while will get it, we gathered during the entire courses, We had a goal again, the third and final round
                                          
buf now I'm gone again, and I have not got a wheel, like two silly mistakes here, wanting to go more crazy, as envisioned and I still had strength, but of course want to sprint under muddy ground with a wheel larsen, because what happens happens, the wheel slips me a lot and I have to put on the ground, these are all important second just on the rise in mud, I'm picking up my pace and this ay ay ,




vengaaaa, crown and grab air in the fall, trying to recover and climb the next one stone, I follow, I the bike goes so close that imbalance and put me foot on the ground, given the terrain jig and of course cost me every second, ensuring fast low but, all I can sprint and more step by the pool in this occasion by the center and gluos gluos gluos yes yes as I plunged drawings j aja ...
There is very little to reach a goal , up and zigzag and enter the grass, it goes Mar 30 "in front of my ...

has not been, I was not first, but I assure you I felt great, strong and secure on the downhills, maybe I have sinned by not giving the hack in the time it could already have been casus second, so now it is and what counts is that I enjoyed and I found OK
; ;
Although it may be because the minds that have given me today my friends, that gives you great strength (Again thank you for coming couple ) The Propera junts 10000 Soplao

Tip Of Big Toe Hurts And Grey Colored

How bright was

the idea of \u200b\u200bgoing down to shit on the floor below.


But I must not be alone.

What In Real Life Has Supplementary Angles

Catalan Cup-Valley Lord




Friday 6

This time we moved to Sant Llorens de Morunys ( Vall De Lord-Lleida ) as it was played the Catalan Cup 3rd test, which as in Corro D'Amunt also run clock.

Well
advantage that we party, we organize ourselves to be in Sant Llorens for lunch so you can shoot in the afternoon at the circuit.

                                     



We arrived at 14:00 we wanted to leave things in the hotel to go to eat, but what was our surprise it was closed as from 14:00 to 16:00 is going to eat, for nothing parked and eating an impressive combination plate ....

already loaded with the stomach we headed to the hotel, change and APAA at the circuit, I was not feeling well, I woke with a sore throat, quite dizzy but I did not want to give much importance, until on the way I started to sweat and sweat, feeling weak legs .. Uy uy look bad, but after lunch I've found something better, but as I was watching the circuit I felt fine and the best for a very twisty circuit, full of trails, challenging ups and downs, it's best to do so without restraint ... Ha ha I was saying it was too packed ...

After a walk, we leave the car and decided to change pads ... yeah yeah Incredible but true, I had no pills, no nothing but ehhh, flipaaaaaaaaaa as I get off at Avinyo Glups glups once changed we're going to go around and collons notice does not change either, looking rodalina see that the pin is bent and the chain goes out, that stranger things noooooooooo, I try to adjust and continue rolling, guauuu than good will with brake ja ja ... Now it's shower, short walk and rest, tomorrow is another day.


Saturday 7

poderte feel How well a wake up without hearing, the incredible had been waking up at 10am or at least the 9 am, but not going, my body know that hour and at 7:30 and had eyes like frogs, but I forced myself to stay until 8am, we've managed and have breakfast, watching rain (unsurprisingly) so after loading the hydrate deposits and glycogen, we put the costume and for the circuit, building has stopped raining ..
We stayed with Jesus (teammate) prepared after leaving the tent, we will present a return to the circuit, in just barely 2 kms Jesus suffers a fall dumb, but because it has beaten in the stomach and in spite of insisting on wanting to see the entire circuit, the pain does not stop, so when we completed the circuit is gone, I commented to Carlos to give back to the time trial and so do I try to get a rhythm happier to see how I go from feeling, strength etc ... But buf, think 'm getting something, because the feeling of heaviness is horrible, yet I realize that I have more power and technique and that makes me happy .. Anyway rosette spray and recover a bit to give everything in the time trial ...





following the rest day and it's time to go to the circuit, all wet and slippery, perfect for running ha ha eh ... Despite not wanting to get nervous, that little knot in the stomach is inevitable, I leave the third and the circuit as I have said is very dangerous ... I call to order out, we wish you luck and 3-2-1 PIIIIIIIIIIIII medium bowl I boot, I have no legs to keep developing so powerful, I go to stop (well in my state to what I can) start to sweat and sweat,




;

                                     
                                      


see Carol and ask the way, I facilitates entry into the fall, then move to Britta, I'm getting better, in the fall we have two options right or left is a guy in the middle of the organization, talking to other riders, turn right and when I'm on the rise says nooooo the lap is to the other side (joooo mother ... .) are significant minutes you lose, I try to retrieve them I stand, sprint, catch the rising path of change and the chain falls nooo, I place, I go and I pedaled and boom turns to fall, mother miaa ... I rise bici.Paciencia pushing the patience I think, I take the wide track and there is little (we think we ) down and just, I see Mariona, buf I folded, and encourage the time of the rise in the


; ;
                                                    

track, I passed the other, finally, reaching the finish with a time of 20:08 wanted to lower the last year (although I think have changed the course) but despite my efforts have not succeeded up 8 minutes more, I'm not satisfied with the outcome nor with the sensations, just hope things go better tomorrow, what if I'm satisfied is that I have not fallen , since the vast majority of riders have mishaps ..



Sunday 8

sounds the alarm for 7:30 and the body just has the strength to get up, I've had a very bad night, including cough and febrer important, in fact if not sound well I woke up all bluegill (wet), throat hurts me but I do not take anything, as any medication I can affect the muscles and as I have it, you just have to go relax more, ha ha.

I prepare breakfast and when I just, umm I think the best thing will be that I shower and see if I clear a little more, because at this rate I'm not very bien para disputar ninguna carrera. Me siento algo mejor, pero no para tirar cohetes, son las 9:00 así que nos vamos al circuito para ver la carrera de Fernando (Máster 40 del equipo) mientras voy hablando con unos y con otros.

 Aqui junto a Ingrid

                                      


About 9:30 am I'm about to start the tent to warm up in the roller where again began to drive the virus, what a way to sweat, the time which was my surprise that Queco appeared alongside her daughter Laia and his wife (a former teammate and close friend). After a brief chat, continuous heating, buff if I am already tired and that I still have not gone jogging. As the time draws near, dismount the bike and go to corralinas, where we are called to get on the grid, in my mind all I thought was affixed, hold the head during the loop and get a good position in the race but PIIIIIIIIIIIIII output is given

;

forces and a few meters out the chain is running in last place (walks that start well), attempt to hurry to place, as soon leave the master 30, placing him with some difficulty by the tension and pedaling now as if my life depended on it, the stretch of the loop was a wide track uphill, where it gradually catch up with my rivals, step one two, three, four, five ... and before starting the first round and I was positioned at 9 position ..




The circuit is quite fun but at the same time demanding where you have to be 100 by 100, not only for making a good line, but for not having a bad fall, this area is very slippery, as there are many narrow stretches filled with stones and after all the weekend rain, even more difficult to shoot with confidence, try to regulate but it was impossible and that only had to pedal force, the stretch of track had to do to increase dish, imagine the weakness of my legs, when passing through the second goal to give back, try pressing a little more and see that the body responds well so let's pull the plate, try to make series in the flatter sections,


; ;



recovering on the downhills and giving it all on the climbs, the more technical sections I make very, very good to keep from falling off line and just off the path in the stretch roots traced I see a different than I do and zasss (if you do not have to try new things in the race) I go flying, imagine how spectacular the fall of the organization that ran in my search, but I more skillful and faster than they had managed to climb back to the bike and continue my journey,




as I prepare to make the last lap the commissioner tells me I have to withdraw, saying that you look surprised I have not bent or Ana Villar or Cecile Ravanel , Balcells tells me to continue (joooo and catch the rhythm) between impotence and rage I am riding, just when I go on stage I found a tape that prevents me from passing, the organization raised again the fence but the sheriff tells me passing through the track cycling with all my might




but my mind do not know if I'm scoring or not, or that stress, even among my conflict if puntuare if the classification will be doubled or not I still have mine, I cross Mariona and told him the incident, after reaching the goal all world tells me that it is possible that this disqualified at the tape, between anger and suffering in the race, I turn to the commissioners and tell me they know nothing, after discussing the situation with the organization tell me failure has happened to them ...

Fortunately, as a result 7 th with a time 1:45:17 charging and everything eh and again I can say I am SATISFIED , but would have preferred to be in full health .. I'm still dragging discomfort ...
