Transcript

00:00Wow, for me, I didn't expect to go out from the beginning of the natation leading the event.

00:04Usually, the natation is my strength,

00:07as well as the race, but this time I didn't think I would be dominant from the water,

00:12but for me it was very beneficial, because I was able to manage myself on the bike

00:16to be able to position myself and go the most, entre comillas,

00:19as well as possible, because, you know, never go comfortable,

00:22and the heat here is big.

00:24But I'm very happy, you know, to completely dominate the race

00:27and that all Dominicans enjoy me.

00:29The climate, the climate, how was it?

00:31The climate this year was more warm,

00:34because of the past few days, the humidity increases,

00:37so that it calent more the body,

00:39and the wind from the back of the bike was demolished,

00:41so I had to administrate a lot,

00:43to eat well and to be able to go with strength.

00:46Finally, in Puerto Rico,

00:48talk about what are your next challenges,

00:51and how describe you,

00:52to participate in two editions here in Catcana,

00:55compared with the events of the region,

00:57how do you call it?

00:58For me, it's a pleasure, right?

01:00It's the back-to-back of this event,

01:02and also to be able to win in my country,
