to reach the foot of the mountain of Montjuic, the journey is very enjoyable, and you're on the Paseo Marítimo. Just to reach the port is the ascent up to the Palau San Jordi, where you will exit to the grade. Once there, I meet with several organizers Ocisport and take the opportunity to ask how is the circuit, Surprise! Is the same as the Championship of Spain, with some variation and counterclockwise, buff !!..... .. I think, so hard that I made ..
Finally, I decide to make a stretch and as expected, the feelings were bad, I had problems with the changes, because every now and then the chain fell to the bottom bracket and do not see what it takes to remove, try not to scratch, but I can not, try to find some explanation to leg pain and I think, do 700 kms in a week must be to blame, nooo?.
Anyway, tomorrow is another day it was. I did two laps, with better feelings and without any problems with the changes, so I decided not to wear (For queeee). Anyway when I go, I see you are riding a bridge with ramps harder ... If yes very nice, original but I'm a bit of respect because the width is insufficient to pass in both directions, in order ... Already see ..
On Saturday more of the same, yes, people were perdidisima in the circuit, did not know what direction to take, after reporting more than one, I decided to give just one lap and rest ...
Sunday 3
alarm rings at 7 am, get up slowly and breakfast with confidence, total circuit had decided to go biking and so as to warm up, to get to the track, I do the enrollment and present my new bike, which did not go unnoticed ja ja. I decide to test the bridge, buf! between moisture and the slope, the risk of wheel slippage is very high, so that gives me little security, but good as the time comes, sure they are dry and not so bad. After approaching the time to give it more emotion and tell us they have increased one more round, vengaaa instead of 3 will be 4 .... corralinas where we took the opportunity to greet all and talk a little the subject of Margaret Fuller, then told me they had Sandra Santanyes circuit switched (So to come to see it?). By the way this girl is a great example to follow, should take it to the Olympics, has never stopped fighting, I think the paragraph to have not carried the World Cup, I'm sure I had done a great role ....
Finally try to relax, but I find it impossible, I felt extremely nervous, I had created excess demand for today that was beating me, wanted to show myself, I'm in better shape than at the beginning, I wanted that BLACKCATBONES, be proud of me, after deciding that I was his image to promote their brand ...

Well even so, I was able to finish the race, do the 4 laps in 1:55. Although the classification put 2:02 as I did stop by to give the output of the Elites ..
I'll try to make a brief conclusion, though I doubt it succeeds. Analyzing the season, I feel very proud of everything I've achieved in a short time, being 3 rd in the Open Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhen this year the level was higher, being 7 th in the Catalan Cup, having played all the races without retiring in no, without being bent and down times last year. I wish I could have done a podium, but I must be honest with myself, I have the appropriate level to be there, but I know that if I continue being so persevering, struggling and sacrificing, gradually adding more challenges, but goals are what make I enrich myself, as the challenges and values \u200b\u200bmark them ourselves, the good news is that I have wanted to start the preseason to get harder, enthusiasm and excitement next season.
