Tetra Since the end I can hardly sleep. I can not sleep. I think in the race. I think many people are involved in this. I think in terms of support and love have given me. How I have helped. And at times I feel has been too much, and I do not know how I will repay all of this. In recent times what began as a game among friends took an unexpected significance. And I'm glad when I see a lot of people excited with Tetra, and wants to run it. And I know that the head of many people is going on at this time, the phrase "I want to run the Tetra." And the best part is that they know they can. What does it take? Nothing. Simply make the decision and have the determination to succeed. And things happened. Life, with its mysterious ways, does the rest, if our behavior and will is impeccable. And one finds happiness in doing what needs to be done, and done well.
First of all I want to thank everyone who has worked in this race. That was great. For all who ran the tetra know we were, mostly, well maintained. And despite the adverse weather and complications pulled out a solid career. Of course, I have no words to thank Inés Gabriela Hainard Azcarate and not just because I was awarded a scholarship that allowed me to participate, but because they were involved in this adventure, challenge, and gave me a space in the magazine and me named in the awards. Unfortunately I could not attend. Can not everything in life. That day my whole family was awakened at six o'clock, went down without our car, the girls were running around all day, in the cold, waiting. Among we look for the boats, bicycles and other things became almost nine o'clock at night. And Fer, I came for the morning, gave us, right then, bring us back to the house. We all wanted to go to the party. It was the end dreams. My dad had bought two tickets and everything, so we were all. But it was too late, the girls were tired and running time, the best option was home. Gaby, Inez, I ask you a thousand apologies for not attending. I very much have liked to hug and thank them all personally. You know how much I appreciate what they have done for me and the other 449 runners. From all of us: THANK YOU. Top
now a tour of the characters in this story, whom I give my gratitude. The order is random, and none is more important than another, they are all friends, loved ones, playmates. Sure, there's a character who played a key role with which many are angry, and that made us laugh big: the Arch.
THE ARCHI
As we all know, Eduardo mocking laughter when I said I wanted to run the Tetra was the trigger for all that has happened. I know that at that moment he really believed that I could not run it. The bet was made and accepted his role. And he played to perfection. What we have fun with their snide comments. And how he managed to keep my motivation intact. From the outset it is the first thing I always wanted to come. Thanks Archi, for joining in this process. Because you're of those people who I know will be there if I or my family needs something. And that feeling is mutual. And for those who were angry with him when he kidnapped me boots, clarified that the two days, and seeing the snow that had been secretly returned to me. My dad used them the day of Tetra and saved his life. He was also Dani, his right hand, which held me up with no. 120 which had been forgotten at my coach. Of course, all this does not relieve you from paying the roast. Already clarified that he will be happy. And knowing him, will be a barbecue in full swing, the most delicious of our lives. Blessed with time scored in the feast!
MY COACH
Many times I have spoken of Gonzalo. A great guy. A friend. Thanks to him I ran the tetra. Because I was first introduced, and because I trained later. He was always outstanding. I gave thousands of indications. Put everything at my disposal. He lent me his Kayak, taught me to row, I revealed the secrets of mountain bike, I put together training plans and opened the doors of his house, his friends and family athletes. Without words ... a boss, my coach. And I say this with the greatest pride.
EL TANO PIO
When I met Tano in this last Christmas. Share it with all the "banda de la Abuela Ana." And there he was. Then got excited about the bet. And volunteered to be the impartial judge in this case. And he played his role to perfection. Especially as it has to do with fairness. It was part of my training. We went many times together. And it always bothered me. He gave me directions on the bike, rowing, skiing and running. With his experience and knowledge guided me in endless ways. He gave me a pair of eyeglasses, I provided the ski boot when he saw that I had left huge Russian. In the hours before the race helped me greatly. I borrowed a vest, bought a little hose to take water from the lake and prepared a draft for fouls that put the caramagnola that gave us the organization. What else to say, an excellent person who appreciate the soul. Tano Thanks! Most impressive, though he did not because it gave hypoglycemia, that day was quite happy with my arrival. Surely he knew that it was also his.
TMG / Mr. T
Undoubtedly one of the most beloved characters. Strict, disciplined, relentless. Lover stopwatch and a job well done. Experienced runner. Quickly became excited with the blog and his comments were always accurate, precise, professional. It helped me a lot, mostly by example. Reader and critical commentator, his contributions were defining. Without hesitation I gave the spray skirt and paddle the kayak. And I missed it. From the first moment I took off all concern. He taught me to keep going, not to mourn, to be always positive, always train, despite everything. Within hours of the race was complicit in a masterstroke: I borrowed the bike. And Thomas, a bike is almost a living being, a loved family member. Hence the remarkable gesture. A companion, a good man, a friend. Thanks Thomas.
LA BANDA DE LA ABUELA
ANA Ana, Julian Guady and Marcela. I have also talked a lot about them. Without a doubt were the first to own this blog. How we have fun! Readers and actors, followed step by step my training. They were always there, encouraging, assisting, accompanying. With Guady outlets did run, and memorable cycling: Laguna Verde, Quila-quina, myrtle timed. It's a great athlete, but has not yet decided to run the tetra. When it does, I bet it without thinking twice. Ana, say, a wonderful person who supported me with joy as one more of their children. And Julian, because he is already on the list of running in 2011. Quickly noted, do not know if they thought I did not come. The race day was firm as ever, attended at all times and encouraging loose cry every time we passed. We Julian! I already told you that if necessary, run a team. Count on me. And Marco, who also share the Christmas dinner, blog commentator and the only points on that day, I said that if he could run the following was tetra launch into Mayor of San Martin de los Andes. The funny thing: I know that I would vote Marcela.
GUAD
my coach's wife and a great friend. Tetra Corridor. Training partner. A great example. He joined the challenge to accompany Gonza, a true act of love. Already been recorded for 2011. A sports cream. He was always there, not only encouraging but showing the pace to continue in training. I reacted when I realized I could not reach her on the bike. He lent me his gloves bicycle to run the race. And for both this was Nuesto first Tetra! Grande Guada, congratulations!
ALI
Archi's wife and a great friend. Had to put a gag order not to encourage and spoil the image of the archenemy. But always read and enjoyed the blog. Aware of the suffering produced by the practice of any sport, certainly was one of the most understood my difficulties as I begin my training. I lent the bike short trousers and goggles in order to run the race. Big Ali! I'll talk to Sole for you to start training for Tetra. If I ran ...
POWELL THE DICKY
was who showed me the way to reach the lagoon Rosales. Great athlete expeditionary and gave me unconditional support and encouragement. Not yet fully released to the workout, but I hope we can share several races. I gave the boot of his car so he could carry the kayak to the lake. And he was always taking pictures arrivals Grande Dicky! With Guille were blog readers and commentators, and Julian, his son, is in the annotated list of running the Tetra 2011. Dicky going to have to train with him!
INÉS
Ines and I know the full name of the organization. But also starred in this blog. Because I do not know how, I started reading on the fourth day, when they knew him only a few. And was excited from the start, giving me encouragement and accompaniment. Was instrumental in me by the scholarship. I prepared a few surprises. Day the race I was happy to see the park closed. And when he finished skiing. One can see how much you love this race, how much he cares for each of the runners and how professional does his job. Agnes: How lucky to have you have the Tetra. Thanks for everything.
boots of lead Lead
Booty gave us remarkable passages. Very popular with readers, his comments had fun and we rejoiced. He learned to play this game from the start. He always preferred to remain anonymous, and despite my suspicions, I can not say yet who it is. Be unveiled, probably, the day of the feast. I assume you will attend.
PEE
coach my coach. A rough. Prepared gym workout routine with my coach and was always ready to lend a hand. His career, Winter Marathon, which ran completely sonbre snow was the best preparation for this part of the Tetra pedestrian. Thanks Pippi, you're a grosso.
papichulo
A great bike mechanic and a friend. I fixed the bike as long as was needed. Gave me the time. I gave the pump, a camera and so much more. Other than that next year is at Tetra. Thanks Gaby, a teacher!
USAIN Usain
, more acidic pen between the commentators. He knew how to fool the Archi. It was smart, sharp and able to hide his true identity. I had the honor of greeting him at the base of the hill on race day. I know the day of the feast, when they embrace in an act of reconciliation in our beloved Archi.
Broitman tetratleta
Amigo. Accompanied me on my first trip to Quila-quina. After that fate would not to share even one more training. But he was always outstanding, always encouraged me, advised me always. And I gave my first charm in this story. Thanks, Esteban! And take care, you'll catch up someday ...
ADRY
involved from the beginning with great enthusiasm and joy, the exasperating Archi. Enjoy the blog and is a great friend. From Venezuela, Adriana Fornero accompanied me in my writing. Much like me to come to the feast so that they could know. A fellow law. For you and your family, Adry, my greetings and thanks.
QUINTUS
My brother. He quickly joined the ranks of Archi, with virtually their only ally. His scathing comments and love were very important in my training. Was a regular reader of those who truly cared for my physical. After all it is impossible to get rid of the older brother role. The race day was continuously connected with my father to see if still alive. Welcomed my arrival. Testa Thanks for being there all this time!
THE YETI
My brother the Olympic. Undoubtedly one of the most surprised to learn that he was going to run the tetra. When I left to run while he was at home in Esquel simply could not believe. It was also the first to join the training. All this madness awakened in him the spirit of sport. And it came to running the marathon with me Winter. He was one of the most beautiful moments of training, no doubt. It was the first to tell me when I beat him, that he could run the Tetra. For its part and ran other race, and I regretted very much that did not come to take the Tetrathlon Chapelco. We could have enjoyed it. In two weeks participating in the Tetrathlon of Esquel. I would love to go to take that Tetra, but it gives me something to beat ...
LUIGI
My brother. Actively participated in the blog. As a reader, commentator and broadcaster. Was 100% committed to the cause. He came to encourage and does the logistical support in the Winter Marathon and their work was essential. Count on your support for this race but the snowstorm prevented him from coming. I regretted it as much as him. Grande Luigi! Thanks for everything. ROBERTO
GOD
reader, commentator and colleague in this run the Tetra for the first time. This made the last few months we lived very similar things. He, like anyone understand everything that was living. And we share the North Face Winter Marathon and Chapelco Tetrathlon. And both arrived! Robert Grande, I was honored to travel this same road with you!
THE FLY
A master. Friend of my cousin the Black, we are at a barbecue on the banks of a lake. And entusasmó immediately with the challenge. Spontaneity offered me his bike. I also gave the rider breeches, helmet, a shirt also cycling and kayaking vest. Without it, I could not train. Because on the treadmill did not last even two weeks training. Fly, you're a boss! With all my heart! Perhaps because of his shyness hardly commented on the blog. Many doubted its real existence. Is that why I was very happy with his recent words once the race. He was the first to say, the same day I paid bike, if I came, I ran on in 2011. Fly: PONETE A TRAIN.
THE BLACK
My dear cousin, the Black Santillán. Was enthusiastic from the outset. Although not a permanent commentator, received support at all times. Continuous reader, conveyed his enthusiasm for the whole family. With just joined my Uncle Cuchi his joy and his brother, the head Santillán, with his wife Eleonora. And suepusto, all the rest of the family. Big black! Soon you'll be living in San Martín! I hope, to you and Flor, who accompanied me in equal measure.
CAMDESSUS EL TANO
While not participated as a commentator, was one of the great readers of this blog. I felt his presence at all times, and always received a telephone call with each accomplishment. Best friend, forever. A hug and thanks.
NICO
A great friend. Not comment on the blog, do not know if sigi too. But in the last corner before arriving, I was standing there, waiting. It was a thrill. He, with his daughter and Malena. Those things that have soul mates in one way or another, are always there, at the right time. Thanks Costa!
NACHO
Another great friend. I followed the blog and always offered their support. The day before the race I waxed the skis, poles gave me and offered me a pair of boots. Was happy with the race as if he had run. A keen sportsman and a lover of life. Thanks Nacho!
RUSSIAN
Of all the gestures I received, no doubt the Russian was the one I hit. Because I gave her ski equipment without knowing. Excited by the cause, a lover of sports and snow, thanks to him I could ski. I was accompanied with great love the day of the race. A total master. A skier's soul. A friend. Russian: yes or yes you have to come to the feast!
FERNANDO
A rough rider. With him out to share the memorable Laguna Verde, where we passed the cloth to all beginners. We had another week of training just as cute. Another great candidate to run the Tetra. Incredibly, it was thanks to him that I ran the Tetra. With the snow on Friday, I had lost the race if he did not come looking for me. And the night we brought. That barbaric ... We Fer 2011! and Vero, who not only encouraged me all the time, but also Tetra will run. Does the Archi encourage a new challenge? MARU
Guada teammates and coaches, provided the van for all the bikes go up the hill, and then the park was closed to the house of my coach. Another great person and athlete who is always willing to assist with training.
MY FAMILY
Of course they were all watching this madness. My three brothers left: Coki, Milus and Fito, my brother the Vivi, Katie, Dani, Sil and all my nephews. Tomi was reader and commentator. My uncle Pepe de Tucumán read it with enthusiasm, being The philosopher, psychologist and mountaineer. Monona My aunt called me excited after the race, next to my dear Uncle Trabue, and just did my uncle Cuchi. In Zinnia, the first commentator on the blog, and Zahiry, Alirio, Zaira and Venezuela all my family, uncles, aunts, cousins \u200b\u200band nephews. In short, the whole family is committed, he enjoyed and was concerned with the race. Thank you all.
my grandfather Juan
That from where he is always with me. Because "a friend, never leaves him."
MY MOTHER
For simple technological issues soon get used to the dynamics of the blog. There was no way I could open it. Finally learned and became more excited the reader. Like any good mother, is convinced of the literary excellence of these stories and want to convert it into a book, because if it is printed, does not exist. Of course it was the hardest hit, more worried, more prayed and rejoiced over. Thanks doll! The mother is the mother ...
MI VIEJO
I say about my dad. Enjoyed this weekend but all of us. He was excited as anyone with this challenge. When he learned to comment on the blog is back crazy. He wrote every day. And trained to run with me. And wine. And it made me care on the hill. And spent the whole day at the foot of the canyon. And fond of worldwide. And it's a total fan of Tetra. And he wants to run it. Anyway, my old man. That nice guy. Thanks Jose! Your presence on this day was the prettiest of all this.
MALENA and OLIVIA
Both accompanied me your way. The fat Olivia with her infinite beauty and delightful smile. I do not know if he behaved quite well, but race day is the bank like a queen. To sleep a nap in Delhi. Was always fully committed Malenita with all this. When trained on the treadmill cornometraba me and I attended. The same when I did the gym routine. Was pending, he was concerned, he gave me his support and even encouragement. He ran with me the last 500 meters, probably the most emotional of the race. Sure, to them I can only worship them for the rest of my life ...
ADRIANA
My partner and great love. No doubt she was the one that cost him all of this. Because he could be there with me. Because he could not go out and train. Because the output was lost and walking. Because he knew his way to help was not being. And that was very difficult. This is perhaps the first activity we do together. Because we ALL always next to each other. So I'm totally grateful. The day of the race would have liked to climb the hill, waiting for me to lower the bike, with me in the lake before leaving to be with me in the street, with everyone being in the coming all the time with me to find the boats, go to the awards party and enjoy and laugh. But it is a good and loving mother. And spent the whole day taking care of Malena and Olivia. And he lost a lot of things. But was there. So I could run the Tetra. And for all that I love so much.
BLOG FRIENDS AND READERS Many
more people than expected took me reading the blog. And I was encouraged to learn that it ran. And he congratulated me on arrival. And encouraged me pass. Leo and Fabi, for example, took care of Olivia while sleeping in Delhi. Vivi encouraged me every time I saw it happen. Agustina was in all previous mometo. Ricky Lanusse, who climbed into the van and the cable car, which read the entire blog, which is excited by certain phrases and could not finish the race still to come 15. Ricky: Besides a great athlete you're a good person, you have whole life ahead and lots Tetras, I hope we can share. Ian and Herman, I waited with all the joy at the finish. The Laucha and Silvana, yet encouraging. Ana, Manuel and Juan, giving me their support. Fernando sealed and their children, with an emotional embrace at the finish. Bethlehem and Luz Gutierrez as excited as I am. Monica de Cicco and Pipi, who released the band almost coming to hug me. Eli and Gabuzzo Ale, which were always outstanding. A whole group of parents of school Malena, who always encouraged me. At running friends: Marcovesky, Cachu, Marcelo and Marcelo and many others. Tetra What a joy to share with you all. Finally, I received support from around the world. Thus, as the guys who went to the program carlitos Bala, finish saying thank you, and you want to send a Saluditos to all who know me ...
With this extensive list ends BLOG. I could not sleep until I thank everyone who made this possible. Although it seems a commonplace, without all of you would not have been possible. It's the truth. I hope not to have forgotten anyone. It was a pleasure and an honor. I wait for them at the feast, although not entered! Archi, go booking a room for 150 people ... Or more!
