AQUATHLON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS: THE KEYS TO SUCCESS IN AN EXCITING PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

www.acuatlontonivila.com

Since my childhood, I have always had a great love and willingness to sports in general. Multiple stories have conditioned my way of understanding and living the sport and thus, a constant in my life, perhaps a way of life that I was not aware until I learned to cast representing missing. I am currently competing at national and international level in Aquathlon, an exciting form of triathlon, which focuses on combining the open water swimming and running, this is a demanding discipline with various possible formats, which does not include the traditional bike section as in other forms of triathlon.

The great completely unexpected followers growth in recent years of my personal blog acuatlontonivila.com in over 100 countries, has led me to consider the suggestion to share in this brief digital book format, my rewarding and exciting experience of motivation and self-improvement in this sport, trying to convey the emotions and values that emerge, and feeling particularly pleased if it could have some interest or useful to others.

After 5 years of gradual progression, my personal bests have come in the last two seasons: Runner-up of Spain for two consecutive years, Top 5 in the European Championship in Cologne as well as in the World Championship in Edmonton; and recently Top 4 in the Grand Final of the 2015 World Championship in Chicago.

However, I do not consider the competition results as the main goal, for me it is especially important to keep the original motivation, enjoy what we do in sport and try to get in the best possible conditions.

Without attempting to give any recommendation to anyone, this book reflects very briefly a summary of my personal experience in this sport, with the most relevant competition events and humbly showing my path that is closely related to an attitude of fun and exciting perseverance in systematic training, implicitly highlighting the values and keys that I consider fundamentals.

In this book Aquathlon World Championships: the keys to success in an exciting personal experience (Top 5 in Edmonton 2014 and Top 4 in the Grand Final of Chicago 2015), you will find my stories, experiences and sports techniques I've experienced in the last World Championships in which I participated.

I hope you enjoy it.
