JoseQuijada's Chess y Mas+: RONDA, Spanish Legion 101 km!, 2013.

Cartagena: May 13th 2013.

101 Kilometers in 24 hours ... I COULDN'T FINISH. My mind betrayed me. It started as usual with nerves, very nervous, but a good feeling. I had been warned that this race starts runing with the legs and ends with the mind. The 5 km I realized that something was wrong, but did not pay much attention. I was slowly losing steam until the 36 km, the stomach started hurting very strong punctures. I walked to km 41, and those 5 km upstream almost all made me decide to leave. Now I realize that I had to have opted for other alternatives. With 41 km in 4h 30min, just 60 km ahead and 19h 30min pm to perform the race, I could have allowed me to take a break to see how my body reacted on this time. All this thinking with a cold mind and the day after, of course! I paid the hazing. I'll take the good thing of this, to see finish the race to my friend Carlos Ortiz, on 11h 34min with a big hug,

And run last 200 meters with Pepe Riquelme, finish time14h20min with hug too!!

ALSO, I could see everyone else I know, the first men walker, first women walker, and take a look arround the party. Now I NOW, that my mind has played against me from the beginning, because an hour after give up, when I remove the burden of the race, the stomach thing finish hurting, and then were I realice the nerves screwed my stomach, not gels and sticks.

Me, Pepe Riquelme and Carlos Ortiz
