“This is the step that I had checked …”
“I had the hope that the sensations would be better than to training in recent days”begins the 18 -year -old runner, necessarily disappointed with his second place of the day. “Unfortunately, it was not great, I did not manage to manage the final climb. I went fairly quickly in the red, in the lactic, and my heart did not go up. It was not a good day, but I do not go out too badly, I have not lost too much time. Tomorrow will be another day“He explains.
“This is a shame, this is the step that I had checked. Afterwards, it happens to everyone during the beginnings. Tomorrow, it will be necessary to get up and go on the attack. I was a little broken on punchy efforts. It was a little stronger, I knew it on this kind of effort. At the end, it was a little tactical. I could not harden the race as I wanted. Played from him.he continues.
“I made an effort, it was not crazy either. Afterwards, I did not have my power sensor. To manage the efforts, it was a little more complicated. No excuses. I played the pedal and it was strong. It is very special. Yes, that's for sure. Tomorrow, it's very different. I may be more advantaged on the time. We'll see.concludes Paul Seixas.
