Some 5,400 people participated and he was one of the few who managed to get on the podium. The man from Cáceres, Víctor Leal Flores, Sepei Head of Exit, has won two medals at the last VI European Police and Fire Games, which were held from June 11 to 19 in Huelva and which were attended by about fifteen Sepei firefighters. «There was a lot of competition and quite a level,» said Victor yesterday.
The games hosted, in four different venues (Huelva, Punta Umbría, San Juan del Puerto and Hinojos), up to 69 different sports events, such as swimming, karate, boxing, athletics, bodybuilding or soccer, among many others, and Víctor finished among the three first places in two of them. The man from Cáceres was gold in the Half Marathon testosteron enantat Deutschland, registering a time of 1: 17.40, and silver in the Duathlon Sprint mode, where he did 52:30. For the first test he had to be measured against around 100 athletes, while in the Sprint boldenone undecylenate in Deutschland online kaufen Duathlon he faced about 80 participants in addition to him.
Married with two children, Víctor, 38, has been working as a firefighter for 15 years. Currently he does it in Valencia de Alcántara although he is waiting to be able to return to the capital of Cáceres when the possibility arises. His hobby is sports and he has been practicing and training daily for eight years. «It is a very explosive modality. There are five kilometers of running, 20 by bicycle and, finally, another two and a half kilometers running,» said this firefighter about the Sprint Duathlon, a sport he has practiced for six years testosteron enantat although, for two, It is also prepared for medium and long distances such as Triathlon or Ironman.
For Víctor it was the first time that he participated in these games and he had to bear all the expenses: travel, registration, accommodation and food. «Everything has been self-financed. The registration was 80 euros and then 10 more per test,» revealed yesterday. In addition, not only the economic factor has been a barrier, the reconciliation with his work has also required sacrifices. «I arrived in Huelva on the 14th, the next day I competed in Duathlon and left for Cáceres because I was working on the 16th. When I finished my 24-hour shift on Friday the 17th, I returned to Huelva to compete on Saturday in the Half Marathon,» he explained. .
Although it was gold, the Half Marathon was the most sacrificed event for him. «I am better at explosiveness, I think I suffered less in the Duathlon. The Half Marathon are very high rates and you have to maintain them for 21 kilometers, it is difficult at times,» he said.
A proud
Likewise, although it has obtained great results, Víctor does not believe that he will participate again in the next edition of 2018, so he will savor to the maximum the recently harvested in the Andalusian city. «I am left with the satisfaction of being able to finish the tests and the pride of being able to represent my land, Extremadura, and my colleagues from Cáceres in front of people from all over Europe,» he said.
