Rodrigo Borrego | Spain

I'm a Spanish Computer Engineer, member of the Velocite Team since 2010 and triathlete to the bone. I've been inside the triathlon world since 1994 so, no matter my age, I'm like an old dinosaur: one of those who used washbowls, towels and so on in the transition area.

City: Tres Cantos (Madrid)
Country: Spain
Discipline: Triathlon

When I started, I was only 14 and as many others in that time, I was recycled from other sports, in my case, swimming.

However, my evolution has been quite curious and, although I started as a quite good swimmer and a poor runner, now, my best discipline is without any doubt running and I swim so-so. Cycling has been always in between although if there's a climb I love to dance on my pedals.

I can't train a lot because of my work but I love triathlon and I try to do something everyday, mostly running during the week and transitions bike + run in the weekends. Swimming? Yes, that's only a casual hobby.

I really need sun and hot weather and hate a lot rain… except when I'm going to run because I enjoy like a little pig running with lots of mud.

However, above all, I love racing and competing, no matter the discipline: triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon, cross, … and, even the distance because, although I usually do sprint, olympic and short distance because of my possibilities for training, I love to make some kind of incursion in the middle or long distance. I'm quite versatile and able to be at war in many of these variations.

I've marked in my bucket list "for one day in the future": Nice IM, Embrunman and Zofingen Powerman and, when I've got and objective, nobody can stop me.
