patricia good I’m a long triathlete
distance tried to dedicate me
professionally this and I’ve been 14 years
practicing triathlon and I’m going to tell
a little bit my story some of my
experience but I also come to tell you
the problems that women have had
throughout history to for
be able to play sports to try
fulfill your dreams
I imagine that someone would have heard
they will have said phrases of the type this
sport is not for girls you are not worth
for this, dedicate yourself to something else
and well I think we live a society
quite evolved in terms of level
of technology trend but I think
that there is still a great delay in
how much mentality is that of race of
religion and a little bit to that equality
true is that this has changed a lot
throughout history and every time
they see more women competing at the
world in the elite but not only
competing in sport that used to be
they called for women we do not also see
women competing in sport of
endurance in extreme sport sport
that require a large capacity
mental a great physical capacity like
for example obstacle courses
the kropff and the careers of
ultradistance the ironman and good e
true is that we have been exposed to
many gender stereotypes many
cultural stereotypes to much idea of
kind
the man superior to the woman have
less physical ability and sport
masculinizes the woman’s body but
thanks I think that thanks to many
have fought for what they have wanted and that
many of them have tried to fulfill their
dream put gender stereotypes
that started here because we’ve gone a
little supplying and if we do not go to this
last game
Olympic is worth the Spanish national team
if we realize or if we put ourselves
think
most of the medals we have
achieved what women have achieved and
with this I do not want to discriminate against man
but it is true that it gives what to think
because I think we are much less in
participation and the number but I think
that the little we are are a lot
quality and for example if we go to the
olympic games of paris of 1990
only 2 percent of the
total share of the letters were
women and in this last game
Olympic
we have already achieved that we are almost the
50 percent of women
ok as I said before all this has been
gone supplying a little more and more
women we compete
but there are still many women and
girls who have word practice their
sport or have fewer opportunities
less investment less training
– security and when they really reach
be able to dedicate to it fully
try professionals meet
with a gap in his salary he
finds that they can not dedicate themselves
fully what they like what they
like to be your profession but good
removing data number that I do not want
boring a lot is worth now I’m going to talk a
little of what the triathlon a
little bit of what my sport and a
little bit of my life
I imagine you all know what Trian
but good if there is still someone here
who does not know what I ‘m going to explain
briefly worth the triathlon consists of
three sports swimming cycling and
career and practiced in that same
order is worth each one is separated by
a transition where we leave the
material and where we are changing and
within the triathlon there is a lot of distance
it’s worth it from the smallest one
called super sprint which consists of 300
meters swimming 10 kilometers of
bicycle and two kilos
running up to what we have called what
which is called iron man and man al
ironman is a pretty tough test a
test of resistance and the word and the
bad truth that could be very
controversial because it’s called iron man and not
ironwoman but good as explained before
my companions the food the ironman is
as a brand it ‘s like we say nothing and
tenth a dida feet I do not think it’s
a macho word simply emerged
well and so he stayed and the ironman
consists of 3,800 meters then we do
180 kilometers by bicycle and just in case
you have been with fire desire we run a
marathon and well I will ask how I
gave me to do this madness or
committing affect me to the side
so I started swimming the school of
War swimming pilot whale from
very tiny and good I was not very very
good swimmer and one day my coach
He told me that if he wanted to make a
gift so in December of 2003
so I decided to do a triathlon it was very
Little was done in Torremolinos
it was a super sprint senate a pool
and the truth that I liked so much and ximo
that in 2004 I decided to retire and
start competing and after seven
years doing what we call short
distance that are sprint triathlon and
Olympic I decided to take a little step
more and do a half distance or what
called an ironman means that consists of
swim 1,900 meters
90 kilometers of bicycle and 21 kilometers
kilometers running or asking and that
the difference between short distance and
medium and long distance then in the mean
distance to tyrants are a bit
different because you compete against yourself
You can not go in a group by bike,
you can have help in one thing that I
I like it a lot because you compete against yourself
own body against your own mind and
one thing that always calls me a lot
attention and how I am to mark me challenge
well
after a few years
medium distance and go in 2011 to see the
ironman of lanzarote because I decided that a
day had to cross that goal had
to burn carme that goal because I
he liked very much and one day the daughter and
mother mom I will make an ironman
she looked at me a little weird but good she
always my family has always supported me
in everything and the truth that I have never been
put impediment to do anything and
there I was on May 20, 2013 in
the ironman of lanzarote
surrounded by two thousand people and the truth
that all of her willing to fulfill her
dream and good the truth that that day
marked my life a little bit because I did not
only the ironman had crossed the finish line
from lanzarote
that day my mom had found me
I think I became a little stronger
mentally and that day I felt that there
fulfilled a dream and that day I felt that
I found out that if he really has a
dream has to go for the one that gives
whatever they say does not matter what
think because if you really believe
you can do so at the end you end
getting it
and that is that May 20 not only crossed
the goal the ironman of lanzarote as has
said that day also fulfilled another
dream that was to qualify for the
ironman world that is celebrated all
years in hawaii and it’s like the mecca of
triathlon where it all started and
Well, what to say about Hawaii, since I
Hey
spectacular the one that I am to see the photo
and I get excited
the truth that what is lived there in
a unique experience
an entire island overturned with an event
is surrounded by the best triathletes
of the world of your idol and the truth that
what is lived there indescribable and
I recommend to everyone who is passionate about
triathlon if you can go any
time in life if only for
see him
what is lived there covers us
with nothing because if it’s true that very
expensive to go to hawaii but it’s worth it
and well after having fulfilled my
dream asks and now what
Now this girl that you
I had in my head
Well, the truth that has always been
mark me great challenge and triathlon
He has something that I do not know that hooks you
that makes you want to overcome each
day and I decided that I wanted to go back to
Hawaii because I wanted to try again
I wanted to classify again and I wanted to
going back to cross that goal I had
left wanting to go back there
doing it better and good was not a way
easy because as you go changing
age group as there is more level and it is
more complicated to qualify but good
in 2015
I went back to classifying in the ironman of
France in Vichy and in 2016
I crossed that goal again and good now
I would like to go back to Hawaii and this is
a wheel that never ends but now my
dream is to return as an amateur as
I was doing my dream now
qualify as a professional triathlete
to classify yourself professional you have to
dedicate yourself to this because you have to enter
many hours has to be inside
a ranking has to do many
competitions around the world and has
to be among the best 35 of all
the world
but hey I’m not easily challenge is
I ‘ve never liked the easy goal
and in my dream and I want to go for it
again and with all this I mean
I do not want to bore much either
that if I really had a dream
go for the reason and never leave
he does what he’s passionate about because really what
that is not going to be tomorrow and
I really say yes
well what I really wanted to say is
that if you really could believe it
you
I could really do it because
as I said is what will be left
tomorrow when everything is over
and let’s say and now what
well that and well I wanted to finish putting
a video of images of women who
I have always inspired me I have
liked and I think they have always fought
for fulfilling his dream and well I hope that
wood put the video with moments weighs
almost sainz have different hinge
pictures are you even you are going to me
