SPORTING EVENT OF RONDA 101

Ronda 101 is an annual sporting event wich takes place in Malaga. The challenge is to complete a circuit of 101km in less than 24h. It can be by bicycle ,walking and duathol mode.I chose the last one (duathlon).It was going to be my longer duathlon ever. I was a competitor but I didn’t compete against anyone , actually I did it to share the experience with the friend who recommended it  and for my own personal satisfaction.

I took part in  the event with a friend but everyone  was following his own pace .I began ridding for 75km .I often stopped to have some food and some water. There were drinks at regular intervals .In the 75km point  I left the bicycle  ,and I have lunch in a military restaurant .I had chicken and chips ,yoghurt ,2 sips of coke and some water. The food was perfect for the occasion. After that I carried on the event on foot .I was  exhausted so I could only  ran for 14km and walk 6 more. While I was walking I met a man and we talked about how the route was going. He told me he had just came back from Argentina where he had been cycling. We wished good luck to each other  and said good bye . After 21km on foot I got the bike again and carried on to the end. As I was finishing the race ,I was feeling so good and finally I crossed the finish line. Then I said thanks to my legs ,to my arms to my heart to  my mind and everyone around me  for carrying through the race. I got a certificate to remind me of me archievent. This was my experience .

When the result of places was published, I was surprised because my positions was 101 in my category ,so the same as the km I had completed. What a coincidence!

The organization was excellent .it was organized by the military. They made the event run smoothly. I strongly recommend this sporting event for people who like doing sport and enjoy nature. The whole event is exciting and rewarding.
