Santiago Sanz

Our racer won in the beginning of the year in Sydney and in late March and beginning of April in Atlanta and Charleston. He has got ready for events coming up in which he won in last five editions.

Lilac Bloomsday 12K to be celebrated next Sunday in Spokane (Washington) just a couple of hundres Km from Canadian border and just five hundred Km from Seattle and enext Saturday 8th the Fifth Third River Bank de 25Km to be celebrated in cold town of Grand Rapids (Michigan).

Santi flught last Tuesday to Spokane and after 28 hours trip he landed in the northern town which welcome Santi with a light rain and almost seven degrees.

The trip was too long. Just woke up by four and took my first flight to Madrid where I waited for almost for hours and took a second flight to Chicago which took almost nine and a half hours to land in O´hare airport but main problem was when I lost my connectio in Chicago to flight Denver so I took a flight to Portland (Oregon) and four hours later I landed there and just last flight from Portland to Spokane which was another one hour flight. They were 28 eternal hours.

Our racer has been training under cold and wet conditions and for Sunday race there´s a 30% chance of rain which will be a real important element for a good racer perfomance because in Bloomsday big downhills and steep uphills are the main characteristics of the 12K course, including *Doomsday hill" with a mile length and 5,5 percent degree.
