What a great journey so far, Veronica. I have been doing triathlon my whole life. I lived to become triathlon world champ when I was much younger. I sent you a follow on Strava. I wish there was Strava around when I was doing the bulk of my racing and training in the 90's. Wishing you all the best.

Hola VerΓ³nica, aunque pude escribir mi comentario en inglΓ©s, me tentΓ³ la idea de hacerlo en EspaΓ±ol. Me encantΓ³ tu historia y me sirve de inspiraciΓ³n para ir dando mis primeros pasos en este primer aΓ±o de la dΓ©cada de los 60, que prefiero llamar versiΓ³n 6.0. Mi experiencia como triatleta a principios de los 90, duro pocos aΓ±os debido a varias lesiones. ΒΏCuantas ideas o cuanto contenido naciΓ³ en la piscina, en la bici o mientras corrΓ­as? ΒΏHas pensado en el mercado hispano-parlante? Es un mercado grande que no deja de ser interesante. Cheers from Caracas, Venezuela.

Hola Ricardo!

La inspiraciΓ³n eres tΓΊ!

TriatlΓ³n en la versiΓ³n 6.0 es de campeones!

La verdad es que toda mi inspiraciΓ³n para escribir viene de la carrera. Consigo crear historias enteras mientras corro y luego simplemente es cuestiΓ³n de reflejarlas por escrito, pero las historias ya existen en mi cabeza.

De momento estoy centrada en el mercado anglΓ³fono para mi contenido porque tiene un alcance enorme.

En cuanto a ponencias, las puedo hacer en espaΕ„ol y los otros idiomas que hablo.

Pasito a pasito ;)

Un placer conocerte un poco mΓ‘s!

PS: muchos de mis familiares de Canarias emigraron a Venezuela en los aΓ±os 70.

Hola VerΓ³nica, gracias por responder. Muchos Canarios y Gallegos, y de otras regiones de EspaΓ±a acΓ‘, aunque muchos de los hijos de los que llegaron junto a tus familiares, aprovecharon su pasaporte espaΓ±ol para emigrar debido la crisis que hemos vivido en los ΓΊltimos aΓ±os. Te sigo leyendo y aprendiendo.

Oh shame, it’s tough when we lose subscribers but I always tell myself that I only want people who read my stuff, but just numbers.
