- 1:53interview him Acá, in Colombia. Thank God, we have that privilege.
- 1:57So thank you for coming to this space and welcome. Not many chs to
- 2:01you is for the invitation, because I have seen how it has grown from
- 2:07Harto to the Channel of you, as you give a nice coverage to all
- 2:13athletes, to athletics in general, and then it is something that I find
- 2:16very important and it is very nice to see how our sport continues to grow,
- 2:21how it continues to progress as the brands come together. So, around
- 2:23here it' s always going to be more available. Well, let'
- 2:27s start with the questions here a David clothing blanket, who' s professional.
- 2:34You studied something good. The truth is, the studio and I were
- 2:38never friends. My dad insisted on me a lot. My dad couldn'
- 2:46t study as a kid and he always wanted to before he was killed,
- 2:52he said he couldn' t die without being a bachelor. He graduated already
- 2:54the months killed him, but he always fell on me the importance of the
- 3:00study. I never wanted to listen to him. I never saw it as
- 3:05an option and of course, time passes, life is advancing and it begins
- 3:10to place us in the place that is then clear. I started to give
- 3:14the importance of the study, the lack it did and you know, realizing
- 3:19that everything they tell you when you are a child or a teenager is not
- 3:21a wagon. Of course, that' s true. Of course it'
- 3:25s not that I think. It' s very funny because in school you
- 3:30say it' s not school for you to study for, but so you
- 3:35don' t understand most things. You learn the most elementary thing is that
- 3:37it is to learn to speak, to learn, to write, to socialize,
- 3:43to learn to do too many things, to learn to have an order
- 3:47in life and we do not give it as the importance it truly needs then
- 3:53that seem basic. No yes, of course, one believes not, and
- 3:55as life progresses that one matures, that one learns, and where one begins
- 4:00to know people, one sees the importance of all these things and the great
- 4:02mistakes that one can make, by speeding up, by recklessness, by being
- 4:09a teenager. Yeah, total, but it' s the eyebrow. Yeah,
- 4:14okay, all my life and all my life lives there. Yeah,
- 4:16tell us a little bit about that childhood, about that adolescence, because he
- 4:20says, well, there he was shitting. No, no, no,
- 4:24my family, my childhood was, as we said, very pretty. I
- 4:30stayed in the neighborhood playing football late. James hid you said Jermis all these
- 4:36things and we played like some kind of baseball, but with the foot and
- 4:44a plastic ball. We were a group and today we don' t have
- 4:48much relationship, but we all have very good friendship. So meeting the friends
- 4:55of that time is a very nice thing to do. It' s like
- 4:59meeting him, the brother with someone too close. So there' s an
- 5:03intimacy, there' s a very big affinity. It' s just that
- 5:06when you' re a kid, friends see you as brothers. We spend
- 5:10so much time with them more than the family itself, because one stays playing
- 5:13until ten eleven of the night and it was a solace orque the talks,
- 5:19the games, the integrations, the first parties, so many things one saw
- 5:26with them, that one at this moment feels and gets offended and one says
- 5:29feel the bacanas. Yeah, a lot. Then my childhood was too pretty.
- 5:35It was a very good childhood. Let' s say most people find
- 5:41it like sports at school, that' s like their first approach to some
- 5:45sport is at school. You played football or what good at school. Suddenly,
- 5:51not so much, so at the time and more in a village eyebrows
- 5:56them. At this time it was very small. So physical activity was not
- 6:00given as an important role as it is today. I remember at the Baccalaureate
- 6:05we arrived two hours a week of physical education. In elementary school I hardly
- 6:10remember the hours was very counted, but with friends I do. Then I
- 6:16joined my first team when I was at the age of ten eleven. Obviously,
- 6:21because I didn' t know how to hit a ball, but when
- 6:27I was fifteen years old, I got to play an anti- Ocqueña football
- 6:29lega. I got to have a very good process and I think maybe it
- 6:33would have been a little better if I had been surrounded by better people or
- 6:39maybe a little more qualified people, because we see that football is something a
- 6:44little more complex, where you need some malice for some things, where you
- 6:46have to learn to stand up, where you have to learn to attack,
- 6:51where you have to review too many factors that at the time did not do
- 6:55them. But it was very empirical. Yes, then, yes, of
- 6:59course, at school it was played, but it could have been given a
- 7:01little bit more. But you joined the ten- year- old team and
- 7:05that team was SEGA. Yeah, yeah, it was a team and imagine
- 7:10we trained an hour or two on Saturdays. And that' s right,
- 7:15so, after that, things were evolving, they were growing up and we
- 7:20started training two times a week and well, the pick- ups already started
- 7:26as it was kind of like what I tell you not so well structured.
- 7:30Then I was a twelve- year- old boy and I was playing with
- 7:3515, 16 nuts, and this is me playing around with my uncles and
- 7:41that was with an agent of thirty- five, thirty- six, and
- 7:45that was that, there I was learning and things. But so every sight
- 7:48of what one imagined, how little one saw in football games, because it
- 7:53wasn' t something very open either. Yeah, that' s then to
- 7:58the League in Tekino came a team that at the time was called Bolillo Gómez
- 8:05Chalo Montoya. I don' t know why his name was Boligio, because
- 8:07he never showed up out there, but his name was Salo Montoya. Yes,
- 8:11it was a gentleman who, if I' m not very bad,
- 8:13came to play in Medellín, but then he had a very big chain in
- 8:18Medellín and another one no longer big. They joined and created a team in
- 8:22the Ceja, a much better structured football school than the two they had.
- 8:28They started organizing all this and they knew what the process was like. In
- 8:31the Anti- Ocqueña Football League. We made the first round in the Ceja
- 8:37and lost the final. All year long we were first and good and things
- 8:43happened like that. The next year they said well, we' re going
- 8:46to make a team, we' re going to make a sub fifteen,
- 8:48we' re going to go play Medellin. The Anti- Oqueña League of
- 8:52Medellin is the category A bais in all divisions, which is its fifteenth its
- 8:56fourteen. We were on the ship and of course, the baggage was tremendous,
- 9:03but as you were having all those fobs and learning many things and I
- 9:05got to have a very good football level until the years you played. You
- 9:09were there until you were fifteen, until you were fifteen. Yeah, sure,
- 9:11they killed my dad and I started devoting more to other things. Then
- 9:18I got lost for a long time. I spent three years or so very
- 9:22dislocated, too, then, of course, many times because of immaturity.
- 9:30I made the apology that my fa, but many times it was also that
- 9:33I did not want, but that we are very good to apologize, we
- 9:39are very good to invent and as to justify bad behaviors. So, exactly
- 9:45then there were a lot of things that I liked and wanted to experience,
- 9:50that I wanted to try, and I think that was the biggest trigger that
- 9:54would have killed him. And like having the perfect things to get involved in
- 9:56all those things, bad things that we' re going to mention. But
- 10:01three years is lost, three years is good, if not lost, because
- 10:07one learns too much about good and bad, for yes, fortunately, today
- 10:11there is a very different David and all these things formed me too as a
- 10:18person. I learned a lot. I met the most important person in this
- 10:22process, who for me is God. At this time I became too growing
- 10:28and lived very hard things, things that perhaps many could not, could not
- 10:35get out of, so they would not have been able, but did not
- 10:39come out. Many stayed there, many childhood friends. It also touched me
- 10:43to see in these things that today are not part of this world. Then,
- 10:50unfortunately, I had a formation that made me grow up a lot and
- 10:56made me learn too many things as it gets out of space, because what
- 11:01you say there is difference and there divides the way and there are many people
- 11:05who continue on that side that at that time maybe we have happened also with
- 11:09our friends, and how it gets out of that gap and back to take
- 11:15the road, which is good. It' s all a very long process
- 11:20first, because ToE a mother who always fought too hard, had a guy
- 11:26who took my life too personal. After my dad then he was always there
- 11:30a lot. But what I can never forget is that once I came too
- 11:35high and drunk type four or five in the morning in the neighborhood that I
- 11:39grew up with, there was a virgin and I was walking like that imagines
- 11:45what it was like to get down on my knees and I just told her.
- 11:46I know I' m alive for you. I' m not scared
- 11:48what you' ve got me for, but I' m here thanks for
- 11:52taking care of me. After that, more things began to happen than I
- 11:56' ve already planted. When I turned my ar ar I was alone with
- 12:01the people that I was relating to. Many were, many were imprisoned or
- 12:05I tell you here on my way and not to go much deeper. That
- 12:11' s what happened. I saw another moment. I was alone, which
- 12:15is alone and I started thinking different. I said, well, if I
- 12:20didn' t have the same luck that all of them will be for something
- 12:24or not. And I said, well, first we' re gonna try
- 12:26to make things right. So I started looking for God, I started digging
- 12:28a little bit more, I started working, I started looking for a relationship
- 12:33a little more stable, to behave better in my house, to stop going
- 12:39out so much and all this started to wreak havoc on Christmas I started to
- 12:43change, to mold and well, look where it is, one, where
- 12:50it is, what this first job was. After that, I mean,
- 12:52for whom we have to thank that I trust you good. That' s
- 12:58a long topic. My dad was in Spain for a while. When he
- 13:03came back to Spain, something picked up and my dad always worked on the
- 13:07ground. He always liked it, he always liked it. He didn'
- 13:11t always work. It was in flower crops, so it had no academic
- 13:13background and it was like the only thing in the daughters of a flower-
- 13:16growing village. Then he knew that and rented a plot of land for ten
- 13:24twelve years, planted hydrangeas and that' s where I started working. When
- 13:33I decided not to study anymore, I went out and started working with him
- 13:35for a while until he was killed. After sweeping, the crop changed from
- 13:41several people who administered it that they did not and in that process the crop
- 13:46got married, without the one who administers it, without the one who worked
- 13:50it, Then they got another. Sir, they got me. We start
- 13:52there. That was like the first job where I started to locate what I
- 13:56told my mom always looked out for, she always wanted me to do things
- 14:01differently. My mom' s too hard- working a woman, a very
- 14:07struggling woman. So it' s the mirror, the mirror of it and,
- 14:11obviously, of my family, because they' ve all been, they
- 14:16' ve been humble and very hard- working people. Then there were no
- 14:20others, there was no other. That' s where I started. I
- 14:22mean, once you touch it in depth, all that' s left is
- 14:26to throw it up and out. From there. Yes, of course and
- 14:30it all depends on how you give it in life, because I came to
- 14:33fall very down, but every day with not going out, with starting to
- 14:37try, with starting to do some gymnasium. I was already climbing a little
- 14:41bit more. One little bit more was moving forward and we kept moving forward
- 14:46from a little bit to a little bit. Many times it denotes, many
- 14:48times it doesn' t. But there we go. And how does it
- 14:52get to that deal, because you already say we touch it. Yeah,
- 14:54yeah, you started tying up, but we' re talking about you being
- 14:58eighteen, sort of. Yeah, yeah, I was about at the age
- 15:01of eighteen nineteen on those sides and you got up you said let' s
- 15:05try, or that I had already been a sportsman. Then I said well,
- 15:11let' s go back again. I started going out, I started
- 15:13jogging, I started playing football again I started to relate to old friends,
- 15:20with some of the friendships I' d known were not so perverse. So
- 15:26I, in this sense, yes, of course, a little more decent.
- 15:28Then they were a little crazy in their story, but they were people
- 15:33who earned their lives well. I started with them, I started playing football,
- 15:39I started having very different relationships. And that' s where it all
- 15:43started. Then there was a flower crop and there was a festado that I
- 15:48don' t remember what it' s called shangelito, but the man liked
- 15:54athletics very much and in one of those games that he saw me playing was
- 16:00the first people that told me to run, run, run, He told
- 16:03him, but one for what he runs. Yeah, sure, of course
- 16:06it' s him, don' t tell me, but not something interesting
- 16:11and there' s no T- shirts for him. I' m an
- 16:14egg. That' s what you think he' s gonna put on a
- 16:17t- shirt. I changed them playing football. That was the first one
- 16:22he told me, but he couldn' t get me that one. He
- 16:26couldn' t tell me how things really are. He had your eye.
- 16:30He saw me and told me I didn' t have to go ringing there
- 16:33as well as that good total. I have always liked, in fact,
- 16:38in the eyebrows there has always been a gentleman named José Santos, already more
- 16:41than thirty years and all alone athletes who have given name at national level of
- 16:48the municipality. They have all gone through the hand of obviously, because the
- 16:52sports race is something very open and very large and already each one is profiled
- 16:56on different sides and with different people. But we all went through his hand
- 17:02and when he was a kid, he once saw me running, he was
- 17:06jogging and groping that one has. Then I started dealing with him. When
- 17:11I arrived, he began to look at me and told me not you that
- 17:14we were cool, but this feels. Then I' d say no.
- 17:17Come on, come on, come on, come on and of course we
- 17:19stayed there for a while, the two of him ideal and hit the last
- 17:22one I said no. No, they won' t follow him anymore.
- 17:23I look at me top and bottom, and like a madman, I didn
- 17:26' t go that way when I got there and I didn' t reper
- 17:33can' t do if a hundred and fifty metre. But then, when
- 17:34I braked, the lord came after me running in the can too and told
- 17:37me not to come. That' s not what I' d like to
- 17:40run. He told me to look at me reading them when he trained and
- 17:45told me on Thursday and I would have the Huet Boy never showed up there.
- 17:48Ah wey ah no. No. You asked me what fate was talking
- 17:52to you about as a child. Yeah, or your fate is over there.
- 18:00No, no, no, no, I never showed up and you
- 18:02never found him again. Yes, of course, but he' s a
- 18:06person who taught at schools, who had a seedling with over a hundred people
- 18:10and then let' s say to remember a peeled one I saw one day
- 18:14out there is so. Very difficult. It' s very difficult and more
- 18:18in no time than there was Facebook. You have to comment on the disarragram
- 18:23space, because no, no, no, no, it' s very
- 18:26complicated. After the man tells you good for the shirt. There you said,
- 18:30not to, but when you decide to give athletics a chance. Time
- 18:34is extreme in football. Yeah,' cause everyone we ran went extreme.
- 18:41I was lateral, right, yes, I had a tremendous outburst. Yeah,
- 18:47yeah, I got to have football games where I went out of the
- 18:49pitch to the other court and went out and didn' t think it was
- 18:53just running away. Not maybe it wasn' t a Ronaldinho or or a
- 18:59robbery to touch them, but I had with what. Not only did you
- 19:04get in, but it got in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
- 19:07did good judging, or that, but well, and then there he says
- 19:11well, I strap it to sad if we' re not diverting. That
- 19:15' s right. Not so normal. Well it happens that one day I
- 19:21came to jogg and I found it in the unit tells me to come to
- 19:25him or alba ropita of work. Before I got the look and I mother,
- 19:29with caba to come out. Of course, the egg sent me to
- 19:30bed and he knows what we were doing. Some of us did, like,
- 19:36ten years old, and that' s what he sent me off with.
- 19:38There' s nothing. But then it was very hard that day for
- 19:45a person who had never run. Of course, I hadn' t done
- 19:48a training, but I liked it then. But he did get sore,
- 19:52really hurt. I don' t know, I didn' t give him
- 19:56the time to stop us from finishing him. There' s Nardian Va,
- 20:00the first time I repeated it. I didn' t forget a day ago
- 20:03because that fucking hurt so bad. My legs were really burning at night and
- 20:08I was opening up and I was just passing by a lamp and I got
- 20:11the breeze in my face like that. Oh, my God, I'
- 20:15m in metal. I don' t think I' m going back tomorrow
- 20:18and between coach and who' s a lead too. Yeah, there'
- 20:22s a charcoal trail. At that time it was like that. Then I
- 20:26liked the training and one day I went to run to the unit. I
- 20:29got in and started doing the same thing he taught me, but there was
- 20:32already track team that did, yeah, yeah. Always the professor, you
- 20:37were always the seedling. There I was jogging you and passing by my side,
- 20:42Victor Hugo Campo, Carlolina' s husband tabares Ok. I went through
- 20:48measurements and when I got to the other side, in one step of Victoru,
- 20:52he told me that I would like to run and between the lego jof
- 21:00but one ran and told me, but run for what. And he told
- 21:04me weon, because I don' t work. I make a living out
- 21:07of this and I, he really told me if there was a talk here.
- 21:11What' s more, I' m a scholarship student in Puerto Rico.
- 21:12I' m going there, there' s the plot Go talk to
- 21:15him. Make sure you put him to training, that you see him,
- 21:17that he has conditions, because he' s good. He won' t
- 21:19answer. The teacher. Now yes, yes, yes, I guess I
- 21:22do now nothing. That man did reach my heart, if he sold it
- 21:25old, of course, and we didn' t talk. It wasn'
- 21:27t a conversation as such. It was there, so it was happening to
- 21:30him. I went there, he told me that, and I went to
- 21:33talk to the teacher, and I didn' t really start what you told
- 21:37him the teacher. I came up to her and told her Profe what else.
- 21:40I didn' t see it anymore. Then he came and said,
- 21:42" Oh, not well, tell me" And I, besides I'
- 21:45d like to run, told me pro to compete. Yeah, well,
- 21:52I didn' t know what was in it. I didn' t know.
- 21:55I didn' t know what running was. I knew the difference.
- 21:56So there' s a sprinter, a semi- fondist, a back runner.
- 22:00Yeah, I didn' t know what the difference of the three was.
- 22:03If you like, you told me because you gave me how old you
- 22:07are and I' m nineteen. So you said, for speed you are
- 22:10already old, but to the bottom you are very young. My son told
- 22:14me he thinks I can go. Well, then tell me to see.
- 22:17I start training and this one tells me. Not sure. I started training
- 22:22and there' s not that a nue I' m going to make a
- 22:26mess, brother, but he told me the two mornings yes, of course,
- 22:30the other day is good enough. Yeah, yeah. He got me
- 22:30to do some Boa abs and you' re in there like this. I
- 22:34didn' t feel the rigor very much from the beginning. Then he came
- 22:38in like the ocheas and he told me here there' s going to be
- 22:41a little control, he' s going to do a check on some guys
- 22:44a mile away. It' s two and a half laps, so come
- 22:47and see how he' s doing. I' m leaving all the cute
- 22:49brother and the custom of me is that it was a football game. He
- 22:53sends me to my good money and then I get a little full. But
- 22:56since football isn' t from so much mansion or anything. That' s
- 23:00it. At twenty or thirty minutes, it was fine, but wait.
- 23:03I don' t know what it' s called a dress. Not how?
- 23:04What' s the name of a footballer. So, the only thing
- 23:07that didn' t carry the stockings to the neta pantalon quarry. He'
- 23:11s here with a regular soccer shirt and some tennis he was dating. Not
- 23:15me what else it was gonna be. I used to put up image bars,
- 23:21imagine that at that time there was a brand I never saw again.
- 23:25That' s even true. Besides, one brand was the department. That
- 23:27hasn' t gone to national versions, and it' s made and it
- 23:33used to be a very similar shoe that used to run that time. You
- 23:36' re no longer like the runners and we' re taking mine. That
- 23:38' s what he' s going out with on Sundays. And you came
- 23:41dressed up on the test Yes, I arrived today clear trots there like four
- 23:48or five laps and I with the plain. It' s the layers of
- 23:52the plains I had come out of those burning manes and at that time there
- 23:57was a peel I' ve lived in Puerto Rico, it' s called
- 24:00Juver. He was a youthful Pan American champion of obstacles. He comes out
- 24:06like a madman and it happened like in one, two, one, three
- 24:08and no brother and I with that full I passed behind, but I wouldn
- 24:11' t be almost rolling. But if it hit him, not me who
- 24:15was going to hit him. Not me. No. I saw those manners
- 24:17and you were going to say no, because seeing what they go and hear
- 24:18is no longer me that I was not going to put h with them,
- 24:22there is no ability. But they did two forty- five and I arrived
- 24:26with three six, two forty- five, three, he got three six.
- 24:29Yeah, but I wasn' t capable of plains. But what else
- 24:33I wanted later, no, but, but I had my conditions, but
- 24:37I didn' t know how to run. If I didn' t know
- 24:38what it was like to run and that was what I was going to roll.
- 24:41I wasn' t running. I felt Carlente jump, hahahahahaha, don
- 24:45' t romance. That was all three the next week, yes, if
- 24:52one starts, then that' s fine. The following week they made a
- 24:56five thousand. He told me to come and that day, if not,
- 25:00at all, that one already arrived the light. Of course I ran seventeen
- 25:03fifty- fifty. He didn' t say no Come on, you got
- 25:07wood. You can make a good count. Yes, uf and told me
- 25:11the plant I would bleach if I could go from this and told me not
- 25:12to go. This what you' re going to do is silver m jo
- 25:15put and run the trial. I mean, don' t see that this
- 25:18is my thing. But that five thousand, after how long training, was
- 25:21or was me already trying for fifteen days. You can' t say talented
- 25:25people yes, relatively. That was clear then a little bit, seventeen,
- 25:33five, fifty, seventeen and fifty, And there the man already kind of
- 25:36says well, I think what it is that coach Jose Santos is called.
- 25:38José Santos, yes, and he' s already beginning to tell you how
- 25:41already. He turns you to look, he gives you prominence in the seedling
- 25:45and takes you some competition or you put on the teacher was too careful then
- 25:52my first competition always gets purple. Around there about six months, seven months,
- 25:56you come back the same shit from the first checkup and send me a
- 26:02hell of a meal. It wasn' t ten kilometers and it was a
- 26:06little wagon and then it was on the side of those forty minutes from the
- 26:10eyebrow, I retired like the fourth or fifth kilometer more to noise across the
- 26:12plain. Yes, of course, I wasn' t able to, and
- 26:15either I found a tremendous glass here. Ah don' t dance again and
- 26:18what the coach told you. Not a thing, for he is a gentleman
- 26:22who has known this for many years and knows that many things happen there.
- 26:26Then I started to check and to investigate many times, for example, in
- 26:30my first races I had to retire several times because I was accommodated some glasses
- 26:36that I was not able to. I wasn' t able to. It
- 26:37hurt so much. Already there in time one does not know if it is
- 26:42that he learns to run or he learns to endure pain or ceases to hurt.
- 26:49Or I don' t know. But if in my beginnings, now
- 26:52that we' re talking about it, I' ve had a lot of
- 26:56attacks on my glasses, you remember those basic pains that aren' t tremendous.
- 27:00I guess you learn to breathe while running, no, because it'
- 27:02s that football and athletics are very distinct. They don' t have anything
- 27:07to say And more the breath because, because one is a little bit,
- 27:11well done and then there to trot and again another pic and another one orders
- 27:15that you have to keep a rhythm. I also think that one adapts to
- 27:18pain and begins to endure it until it is removed, because when one is
- 27:23very young in that, because I am very young in this gives me glass
- 27:27and at first I had to stop. Now he gives me a glass,
- 27:30I can hold on until I' m out of line. Then the same
- 27:33thing would happen to you. Then you get it today you can' t
- 27:34stand it when it' s less think anymore nor hurt me truth that two
- 27:38of you were going and you' re right here and now it' s
- 27:45exact exas, just like after that race, that it' s your turn
- 27:49to retire, that the teacher puts you for the next goal. There was
- 27:52that in August. After that came the gift theme has a memory. That
- 27:57' s good, what he did, when you count, good street.
- 28:03There are things that are very emblematic and are things that you are never given
- 28:06to forget. Yes, that, yes, there are things, but there
- 28:08are no others that are better forgotten. No, no, no, no,
- 28:12I got it here and I get out of here. I' m
- 28:15ready. I forced myself to forget it. So it turns out that was
- 28:22in August. In October I was in the half marathon of the Ceja and
- 28:26there has been a category that is called recreational. We only run people out
- 28:30of wax there. Then, of course, I got ready for that run,
- 28:34and I won that category. Twenty- one does, he wins.
- 28:38No. No. No. Twenty- one wasn' t ten different,
- 28:41five were eleven. No. It' s already eleven. Yeah, I
- 28:45' ve already changed. But then of course. That was my first race
- 28:48and at that time the half marathon was a circuit that passed through the main
- 28:52park you went out and ended there. In that first race I did about
- 28:57thirty- seven fifty and that was ten five and I imagine the unevenness.
- 29:04There are arts of more or less level. If there is one on that
- 29:10route of a very steep slope, yes to one, but it was not
- 29:15so, and you put thirty- seven in and that' s when it
- 29:18came to talk. Yeah, they already saw feelings that you feel when I
- 29:23can earn you a drink, pay ofc This is my case. Many people
- 29:33grew up in this environment and it was very normal from the beginning then,
- 29:38but in my case I worked in flower crops. He was a normal operator,
- 29:45he earned a minimum and then he got one and had an extra.
- 29:48That' s not clear. No, that was a league and a tremendous
- 29:52rest and more than one, after a while, I learned that it wasn
- 29:56' t what you earned, but it was like the many goals, I
- 30:02was behind one, that it was to be able to live out the sport,
- 30:04was to one day see represent some brand. They arrived and started to
- 30:08get good results and it was a very long process, but through so much
- 30:17work it was seen that it could. Then it was always that to pursue
- 30:22the dream that I could live from the sport, that I could dedicate myself
- 30:25to this. I have a question that I had to ask her in the
- 30:30first minute and spontens you have thirty- two, thirty- two, that
- 30:33is, you started ten years ago. These very standing, twelve years and
- 30:38there you started to run that five and ten. No, that was a
- 30:42mix of every brother. That at first was ten as early as two three
- 30:47years twenty- one. But I really liked the party, the track was
- 30:52the most ingate woman I ever met in my life. Yeah, the truth
- 30:56is everything and never tell you anything. The party was better with me.
- 31:00He tried very badly. I got to make too good preparations. I get
- 31:04to prepare very well and get there nothing for but for games, or that
- 31:08if for games for championships, for a price I saw Argentina, I prepared
- 31:14more and via nor felt there are not too good workouts and I arrived and
- 31:19no. No, no, no, really. The most reeds on the
- 31:25track were not so relevant. It wasn' t that much, but my
- 31:29first marathon came and a very good race came out. So, no,
- 31:32then, the clue is a disgrace. Yeah. No, no, no,
- 31:34no, no. Don' t you? Don' t you?
- 31:36Don' t you? Don' t you? Don' t you?
- 31:36Don' t you? Well, you' re starting to win, little
- 31:41wagons, you' re starting to evolve. What your target was, I
- 31:41know you' re a target man. Let' s say I want to
- 31:45live off the sport. It' s a long- term goal you set
- 31:48yourself, but what was that short- term medium goal you set yourself?
- 31:52Did you make thirty- seven? Fifty, thirty- seven, fifty years
- 31:56in your first career. You wanted to lower that time, not because I
- 31:59didn' t know what in time. I didn' t even, I
- 32:01didn' t take care of anything. That was very aggressive in that since
- 32:06I started I was very even with others. Then, in his time I
- 32:12looked at Juan Carlos Cartón arranged for repetitions of a kilometer as they ran a
- 32:16ten thousand in a half marathon and that was what I was looking at.
- 32:20And now, that week they' re coming. Come on, my son,
- 32:22it' s just that I have to run better than I didn'
- 32:24t even start. I got my first half marathon and I already knew how
- 32:30much Juan Carlos was going on, what his best brand was. And see
- 32:31here the sector. I knew how they all ran and then it was always
- 32:37that I stuck the clock. I always had a career. There, to
- 32:39say, my first half marathon, I say red, was the one that
- 32:43won the half hour of the eyebrow. He ran an hour six and I,
- 32:45in my first half or ran a twelve us I said no mother the
- 32:49other year and I have to miss something and then, every year ago.
- 32:52That was a watch, a watch and look and the same thing did in
- 32:55the workouts. I looked at everyone as they trained, what they did.
- 33:00And he was stuck with it. So when you ran, you ran half
- 33:04a marathon, you did the bad thing, I started in the eyebrow.
- 33:07So and there he ran that year. From there and you stop me.
- 33:09That' s the only race you ever raced. It wasn' t the
- 33:13only race, because it was the only average. Then I started running first
- 33:16what the races were here in the area, well, not here what the
- 33:21area was. That' s where I started in the department wagons. There
- 33:25were some carts out there, down by San Antonio, the ones in the
- 33:30lane, what was in Río Negro, Cositas like that until I started to
- 33:35see the national championships and I said that' s where I want to be.
- 33:38That' s what I want to run. The first pinitos were made
- 33:44in the departmental games, there, in Antioch. Then the first time I
- 33:49showed up, don' t grade. They were passing the first two of
- 33:52each test and that third I was there and you know how much. I
- 33:55lost by a thousand. That' s why I don' t qualify.
- 33:59He gave me a hair in the line. Yes, but the following year
- 34:02I classified and went over to Silver. Well, then, I' m
- 34:07still getting better. What a fart in dis in five thousand in five thousand
- 34:09well, but that' s where the league already started to look at you.
- 34:13No, no, no, not there was still good, not there
- 34:16was still very much in the area yet then in the year there were three
- 34:21four races and it was just as it started to arise. My process was
- 34:24a process of formation more than what focused on the competitions, which was what
- 34:30I wanted, but my coach looked much more at the athlete, at the
- 34:35person in which nothing was injured that good, because even better not, because
- 34:38if you' re going to compete in competition, some time you' re
- 34:43going to collapse and you' re going to get hurt. That is true,
- 34:47that what happens is that we are of a mentality he and very much
- 34:50of the already and more I who lived so attentive to everyone exactly then I
- 34:54wanted to change my life. I didn' t want to go on living
- 34:59the way I was going. I wanted to give it a very big turn,
- 35:04but I didn' t want it to pass the time so long,
- 35:07but I wanted you already. But it touched me, it' s my
- 35:12turn to wait pretty clear, the process was long. Let' s just
- 35:14say that that happens to amateur jogging and that' s why they end up
- 35:17leaving the sport they want to memorize now. And this sheath is a process
- 35:21that takes many years, many years. At what point the League is starting
- 35:25to keep an eye on you or at what point you are starting to leave
- 35:29your apartment to run other races. Well, it turns out I already did.
- 35:35In my second departmental games I always participated. Yeah, in the first
- 35:39one he made money, and in the seconds you made there, yeah,
- 35:45I made something a little more decent. I was on three tests. Well,
- 35:49initially I was standing for the five thousand and for the prac that'
- 35:52s called the route, but it' s a ten- kilometer pra.
- 35:54Okay, I won the five grand, and the partner who went with him
- 36:01got hurt over there. Then we coach for looking for them. He said
- 36:06no, so go in and my five hundred to see what comes out.
- 36:07I won the 1, 500 also and the next day it was the route
- 36:12and I won the route and then I arrived I said no. No.
- 36:14I am, if I have to go up or up. The following year
- 36:20I presided over the interclubs and I was an insistent and told him I want
- 36:23to represent Antioch. For two and a half years I was going to complete
- 36:28my three years of training here. I did a check and it touched me
- 36:34very alone but I ran fifteen twelve in five. Of course then I was
- 36:37told that I applied for a championship that was about fifteen or twenty days old.
- 36:43Right there, fifteen, fifteen, twelve uff are three, three,
- 36:50three, four, sort of something like that, and there was another championship
- 36:53in fifteen days and he was the international champion. Yeah, so they wrote
- 36:58to me and I always liked a thousand and ten thousand. I never looked
- 37:00for the other tests. That was something I liked. Yes, I arrived
- 37:05the national and in the ten thousand I ran thirty- one fifty on the
- 37:08other day of the five thousand and ran fifteen two then, of course,
- 37:13I said. No. I think you can go out now, I can
- 37:15go looking. I was there in Girardo city, which was my first career.
- 37:19Outside I was out of mountaineering in another and well I already started to
- 37:23win wagons in Antioquia. At that time there' s one called Odi Tec
- 37:27I won. There was another one that was famous. I also won it
- 37:30the same year and was very well on track at that time. There was
- 37:36or already I felt better not anymore. I said now that blessing is given
- 37:40everyone, but it wasn' t yet very raw yet why you feel like
- 37:46you were. No. No, there was still a lot and it was
- 37:50a thirty- and- almost thirty- two minute runner, for an elite
- 37:55courier is between thirty, ten, thirty, twenty, thirty, thirty per
- 38:00marlo And down there what can be improved and how fast it can go.
- 38:04So, last year in me not in games, but in the national championship
- 38:09looking for manga I ran five and ten and there ran twenty- nine,
- 38:14fifty- four twenty- five. Something like that, then they already are.
- 38:17It' s a big difference, and it' s not brutal.
- 38:20It' s a big difference. So of course, a runner Eite I
- 38:24was at the time, but they were bad illusions and the motivation I was
- 38:28getting into about those things, what I was really doing there is just beginning
- 38:32to sow my finite ones. But you want to make it better than you
- 38:37said to the coach, I don' t know how to make it louder,
- 38:42not what you were doing. Well, as for that, if I
- 38:44' ve been very careful, I always respect very much what comes to coach.
- 38:50But what I have had is that an example sent me to make seven
- 38:53thousand to three, but I followed it rolling at fifty- eight or fifty
- 38:57- seven And if I could go lower, lower, they would send me
- 39:00to do a tempo out there, an hour three forty and so I could
- 39:05go to three hundred, thirty- five, three hundred thirty- two to
- 39:07Shan Mail. So, as for that it was what was done, or
- 39:12in the funds, on Sundays there five or ten minutes more and so on.
- 39:17Well, I think we do if he' s seeing us our coach,
- 39:22excuse us, see this thing about giving the same thing about five,
- 39:27three, four or five seconds below to see if we get any better,
- 39:31but in others we do fifteen- minute times. Not an hour, an
- 39:35hour we finish comments from fifteen minutes. Sure, we all started out there,
- 39:39yeah, of course, we all started after you started, we'
- 39:44re with the same coach. If up to about two almost three years I
- 39:50was with him, it' s hard to do your time with him too
- 39:54much, Professor José Santos and I had a lot of history and we saw
- 40:00a lot of things and more than trained me was like a clear dad,
- 40:04honestly, the things he and I live, what we share, the things
- 40:09he and I had in friendship, in our sports life, in all these
- 40:15things, it was very nice and it was something very big. I the
- 40:17teacher is someone who respect and offered too much the teacher because Santos is one
- 40:23of the people who has molded me the most, who has taught me the
- 40:25most. He has taught me so many things and the gratitude I have for
- 40:30him is enormous. Of course, more than ten years, nine more years,
- 40:36seeing him almost every day communicating, he became a family. Yeah,
- 40:40we talk a lot. So it wasn' t the typical student athlete relationship
- 40:45that they only talk about for training, what they' re going to do
- 40:49the competitions, and we were going out, smoking beer, having lunch and
- 40:54sharing a lot of things. I have a question. Why, I mean
- 40:58now I was telling you that your uncle and your mom, because they were
- 41:01there in your process, in your bad process. That is when you start
- 41:06giving away the races, what they say, that is, how they feel
- 41:08accompany you the races celebrate with you, they are in the process also good.
- 41:15Of course, of course, because I don' t think I say
- 41:21that people who have been with one are the ones who deserve most to enjoy
- 41:24all these moments. So, one way or another, my mom, my
- 41:30uncle or my family, I' ve tried to reward everything they' ve
- 41:35done for me in different things. Then, of course now what is all
- 41:40this preparation for seville the early morning with me on Sundays, the one who
- 41:45took the water and took me to the gels and made a team. We
- 41:51share a lot of things, we talk a lot still there. Then of
- 41:55course with them it is with which I go out for a Sunday coffee,
- 42:00which is something to have a beer, with which, when I share more
- 42:05of truth than throughout all this time has learned to give a very important value
- 42:08to the family. Before, I didn' t care. Before, the
- 42:14family was a background. Not today. Today, I am too clear that
- 42:19if in the family and lion it is nothing. It is not clear that
- 42:22the family is a very important pillar, and more when it is not sportsman,
- 42:28because, because, pitifully in this country, one says mom, dad
- 42:32wants to be sportsman, and then no, Daddy does not study, because
- 42:37if he is not going to die of hunger. And the moms and dads
- 42:38who give everything, because you are a sportsman, vitean and support, because
- 42:43it is very important and very common. Or that it' s the moms.
- 42:47Yeah, that does everything to me. The mom that says good,
- 42:51yeah. If you ask them to make a shoemaker, I hope they'
- 42:55re the clauds Come on. We' re going to get into the subject
- 42:59of the future, because I don' t know a little bit about when
- 43:04the team' s coming, because you' re already starting to race.
- 43:05You say you' re too piche to be able on other sides, but
- 43:08you keep giving everything and then when you start that relationship. Well, the
- 43:15call to come, honestly, was a surprise. You didn' t expect
- 43:20it, never at that moment I didn' t come running well, I
- 43:27was having good participations, but not the last thing you thought I was coming
- 43:29to call. I no longer Offes there that you have to give even more
- 43:32what high achievements you had at that time so that it is week they were
- 43:37called. Okay. I had some, for example, in the two thousand
- 43:42nineteen and either I was silver at the National Games in the ten thousand.
- 43:44On the record I had already won several races here in the country I won
- 43:50half. Now get in the black. I had won a race out there
- 43:53that they did in iraguey and well, a lot of little stuff out there.
- 43:57But maybe I myself felt that nothing, I so transcendent yet that I
- 44:00hadn' t marked it as something. Turns out they did the first version
- 44:05of the Pacific Race at the ten that exactly then. Someone who had a
- 44:14huge influence on this was Mr Felipe Pozo. He' s the organizer of
- 44:19this race, but he and I met and I didn' t even know
- 44:22who he was already. He met him. It was a half- marathon
- 44:27in Cali. I was already running in the ten kilometers. I won something
- 44:30I talked to him, even put him in a shirt if I had reached
- 44:42him, I arrived with arrived and was about 500 six hundred meters from the
- 44:49goal where he is staying. Then I put on my competition uniform and put
- 44:52a shirt on me. He was at the finish line. Then I had
- 44:55the shirt and I had under my skeleton with the number. Then I'
- 45:00ll come, I' ll get you a turkey. I' m gonna
- 45:02keep her here when she gets here, but you know who she was.
- 45:07I had no idea or ideas. And yes, yes, of course,
- 45:12come on, have the propa on one side, I left and won ah
- 45:19well, yes, of course, have. Turns out they' re telling
- 45:22me. I think he showed up and told me my name is Felipe Pozo
- 45:24and well in that they told me that Felipe Pozo is organizing a race in
- 45:30Calida and ten kilometers that such thing I don' t remember. Who was
- 45:35the one who shared his number with me and I wrote to him, Come
- 45:37on, what a shame he already called me Bill Gomez. If we already
- 45:40met in Cali, I might as well get the registration for his career and
- 45:45he told me ah, yes, of course, it was Come, I
- 45:47went to the race. I was sisto. I think I was this and
- 45:52second Colombian, first I saw they were, second joy third. Yera is
- 45:59that in that race exacs, that race a rough one, if it'
- 46:04s brute, that race is a savage. But then, of course,
- 46:07with that career he saw me and they call me December and he tells me
- 46:15David, I can ah no, he writes to me and told me David,
- 46:16he has time. I can call you yes, Mr Claudi, here
- 46:22you tell me there is a very big chance that you will join the team
- 46:25to come you are interested. Don' t tell you where you sign it.
- 46:34He told me. It seems to me that this is a jogging bar.
- 46:36Well, not only are you his wife, but also his girlfriend.
- 46:39The two seem to me that they ran very well here in my career and
- 46:44I think that with what I can bring to you and with your talent,
- 46:47you can make a lot of progress. Of course, the flame is called
- 46:52super- expected. What you did tell me don' t sign with any
- 46:55sports brands, don' t go talk to anyone. Don' t tell
- 46:58anyone anything. That' s what you sang. I gave him fifteen days
- 47:02and in fifteen days he confirmed him and yes or no. No. That
- 47:06' s when he called me on the fortnight and told me you' re
- 47:08already inside. But the two of you, that is, those fifteen days,
- 47:15if you felt like uncertainty, like anxiety, the truth. I'
- 47:19m very quiet. Of course, I did think that if they didn'
- 47:22t call me a bar no more, and in fact, he called me
- 47:27before the time he had said yes to me, before fifteen days and told
- 47:30you he said ready, he' s already on the UFFF team. I
- 47:35like it already there, count on me for what you need, what I
- 47:37can doubt you good, tremendous ready and there already changed your life. Not
- 47:44then was it changing a lot, but of course, because it' s
- 47:50a great way and you were beginning to materialize your dreams, your goals.
- 47:54Then of course you arrive and enter the team represent a team that has been
- 48:01so many years, where so many good runners have passed and already know that
- 48:07you are also representing this brand. It is clear, not only that company,
- 48:09but also a sports brand that is behind them and to compete and everything,
- 48:15but that they made you come to Bogotá or that no, no,
- 48:16no, at any time. Not only do they respect the coach respecting yes,
- 48:22of course, and what I was saying to him now on the team,
- 48:25I never had a problem, I never had a problem, I never
- 48:30fought with anyone about the team. It' s a lot that I have
- 48:31to thank you because in this year that I was with them davi grew up
- 48:37a lot. There he learned too many things, lived great things with the
- 48:42team and enjoyed it so much. It was something I enjoyed too much.
- 48:45What do you think were the advantages that you had to be of the team
- 48:50to come, that is, things that gave you that before you had no
- 48:58good but to be a member of the team. For coming to that he
- 48:59felt someone' s back. So, for example, in my earlier eras,
- 49:05I could never concentrate solely on a competition because I needed to eat.
- 49:09So, the way I could get the things I needed was to run.
- 49:15Then I was never out of preparation for more than two months. Even preparing
- 49:20me for just a month was a tremendous fit. The team arrives and then
- 49:23I have my income. I can be much calmer now. Sure, I
- 49:29can be a quiet month or two training just preparing myself for a competition.
- 49:34Then it seems to me to be the most important added value. I'
- 49:40ve always put a metaphor, an example, I don' t know what
- 49:44it will be, because I didn' t study. I was very good
- 49:45faith, but a metaphor, but it' s like you pushing a car.
- 49:51One thing about you pushing the car alone and it' s very hard,
- 49:53It' s very difficult, but when you have a support that helps
- 49:57you push the car, it' s not easier and you felt that having
- 50:00more time for that is good, you already have your income, you can
- 50:04prepare a race longer. You saw the results that were completely better. I
- 50:07never got to run well in Bogotá until the half marathon here last year came
- 50:10and I always went too far. It cost me a lot. They were
- 50:17even occasions where my lips were torn. Nothing came back to me to die
- 50:22and I said I don' t want to go back there, but not
- 50:28born, but that happens to all of us. We' re half as
- 50:30good as other Bogotans. I just ran nothing and it was last year.
- 50:36How do you do? It was last year. I think I was eighth.
- 50:38Eighth I was second Latin, first on the team and the result was
- 50:47good. There was an hour six running here, not six, it'
- 50:50s not that easy, it' s not gross. The result is very
- 50:53good. Then I think you can see the big change, the big difference
- 50:58and you have a support, clear help for you to be able to devote
- 51:02yourself fully to what you want to do. Of course not. I think
- 51:06I mean, no. I want to ask a question. Normally we have
- 51:10had athletes here too he and you Semiel and tes you can tell you low
- 51:15performance they always say that they are very afraid of the marathon, that,
- 51:22then, I do not respect him, because it is a long distance of
- 51:28forty- two kilometers, in which you have to maintain a rhythm about ten
- 51:31that five. Ka David, at what point you went through the head running
- 51:35marathon or I was already thinking about it or per as we do, to
- 51:39see what happens the athletics of progression and then what they told me the track
- 51:44didn' t treat me so well. If the clue with me was a
- 51:47disgrace, but then still so tencio told her no. No, no,
- 51:57no, of course, and there are good things, yes, yes,
- 52:00but for those of me who prepared, I know that I could have given
- 52:04more money in terms of my marks and good things. So, last year
- 52:09I was in Spain. I was in two five thousand and a ten thousand.
- 52:14In the first five thousand I ran fourteen zero in the two days ran
- 52:17ten thousand and ran twenty- nine five, but still so. I was
- 52:22to run much better, but I arrived and had the body broken. I
- 52:28didn' t know why I didn' t fit in. I went out
- 52:30to run without swollen legs, there was no waist and I was forcing too
- 52:35much, I suffered too much. I spent fifteen twenty days there in Spain.
- 52:42I had another five grand. I almost didn' t get into that
- 52:44test. Felipe Floway and help me at all these events and I get to
- 52:50the other one. Now this is my strike, this is my skit,
- 52:52not k is that whore beat me a palisima and I think I came almost
- 52:58last at that event was a hard test. There was a very good level
- 53:02and I ran like fourteen two and already said nothing, i e slower than
- 53:07I was told no, twelve seconds, but just like last, no,
- 53:10i e the level of seeing won with thirteen twenty at play then no and
- 53:15they already said no. And I prepared myself well and said things well,
- 53:19I already said how Nami does shit this track and game. Then I arrived
- 53:24and told him my coach, no national games or any of those faggots.
- 53:29I' ll go running streets now and I' ll tell me which mara
- 53:32took I remember what they' re going to keep screwing with this one but
- 53:37and it was Jarden yes clear and then he told me not to expect us
- 53:43to watch national games and it' s the other year. I debuted and
- 53:44said what game or cape. I want you to know that. Don'
- 53:49t come, I don' t want to run street, come on,
- 53:52go, but shut up because I marathon and not stockings. He' s
- 53:54already wearing several socks on the street. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
- 53:57' d already run several socks. And already, because of the age I
- 54:00felt that up to the moment I already felt that my body was completely mature
- 54:05to run a marathon. That' s what I tell you all about progressions.
- 54:08Then I had already made a cycle on track, already competed, I
- 54:12had already tried, because I said, because we are going to pa lamarcton
- 54:15of that time and why choose in that marathon in specific, well, and
- 54:23how long they prepared the marathon itself, it began to prepare before since I
- 54:29arrived in Spain, from the arrival of a divistante of a marathon. Yeah,
- 54:37there you go. Then of course what I say to him Felipe Pozo
- 54:43sievo has always been very open to help me. He' s always been
- 54:46too much and fed up. Then and we started to make good volumes in
- 54:52terms of kilometers, we started to add kilometers weeks of one hundred and eighty
- 54:59one hundred and ninety and we started to run half, it' s called
- 55:04and we ended the year with one hundred and eighty one hundred and ninety kilometers.
- 55:05That I did finish the fomías with the legs of even very cajetea based,
- 55:12but it assimilated very well the kilometers. I talked to Felipe in about
- 55:15November December and told him I wanted to go to Seville. I knew it
- 55:22was a fast marathon, I already knew something has already been heard and then,
- 55:27at the time, for everything I said it' s not right you
- 55:30know, let' s look, see what happens. And of course,
- 55:34then we prepare to go on. We already started in the week of December
- 55:3824th and from there to more. Yeah, but there was, I mean,
- 55:46you were landing or you were dreaming of good. We' re going
- 55:51to talk about the achievement you did, but you dreamed about that achievement or
- 55:55it was how we' re going to see what happens. Expectations zero I
- 55:58tell you the truth. Yeah, I' ve been gross in this idea,
- 56:01but determined. So I said I' m going to get out of
- 56:05here like two eight I say sort it out. Yeah, well, they
- 56:07memorise the fifteen or the twenty. I mean whores. I' m going
- 56:09to go ahead and not look for the minimum time for the Olympic Games.
- 56:15Yeah, and I started to build up, and I started doing miles,
- 56:17and we started doing the prep, and I' m doing really well here.
- 56:21In Bogotá he ran about six after megin scored about five something for about
- 56:27five shorts and twenty- one kilometer. We went through a four forty-
- 56:30five and said no. I' m ready, I' m ready to
- 56:35run very well a marato. So I did like that comparison and they already
- 56:37called me ginmal partial clocking, like three, two or three, three or
- 56:40so. That was like the margin and it was said I' m no
- 56:45longer down at sea level. It' s cold, I' m not
- 56:47going at that rate anymore and she fucking said what I hold. Then,
- 56:51of course, we organized all this. But in Medellin there' s a
- 56:55person who' s also been like a coach. Jose Santo, he was
- 56:59such an ascendant person in my life, but in a very big way,
- 57:04a very bad way you speak. The gentleman is a person who works in
- 57:07a bank called ITG, his name is Juan Rafael. I met him the
- 57:14funniest way in this life. But the gentleman took too personal my sports career
- 57:20and he since we met told me to take them to you because you are
- 57:23an international athlete. I don' t want you running eggs here in Colombia.
- 57:28We told him we were going to run marathon and of course we prepared,
- 57:34organized everything, organized a tremendous logistics to make everything perfect. It helped
- 57:37me too much. Then we arrived, we started to prepare and fifteen days
- 57:42before the Marathon jague and says I want to talk to you and no more
- 57:45to take the wrong. But I think you open up a little bit in
- 57:49your expectations. This is very aggressive and you can have a lot of confidence
- 57:53and whatever, but I think we' re a little bit more careful.
- 57:58He was telling me to take a little quieter. It' s worth two
- 58:01little scratches to those averages you want to make. Go be a little quieter,
- 58:05a calmer group and feel good on average or in the thirty, for
- 58:08attack then we did that. So you did about as the day of the
- 58:15race comes and how you feel that day like how long before you got to
- 58:20Seville. I arrived on Wednesday, at night nights for Sunday. No,
- 58:25yes, it was very little. Yes, yes, or I personally think
- 58:30it' s a time that' s hardly better, because you take advantage
- 58:37of it all at work there' s no big change in the exact organism
- 58:42as far as these levels are concerned. And good for me too all of
- 58:45a sudden in my next competition, that I would like to go pre me
- 58:50from Sunday to give him a retreat, a little bit more to the body,
- 58:53so that he does not arrive so harassed that he runs, runs here
- 58:58to each other, but that he has like a little more time. Of
- 58:59course, this trip is very long, also so long sitting all these things
- 59:05have a lot of influence, but I think well, that is, suddenly,
- 59:07if you get to a Sunday, rather, but you got there,
- 59:12you did some workouts. Yes, yes, of course, the next day
- 59:15I came out to jog softly and were already jogging forty minutes, but but
- 59:20broken very tired, the Jellac all can. Then you get a lot of
- 59:27things together and the day comes to the race and from there he gets up
- 59:30with a dream and the son of Puta was already Mom needs to rest and
- 59:34not have enough rest. I sleep for many hours last night, no more
- 59:38sleep, and I stood up like a zombie and a fucking hand. That
- 59:42' s how to run in a few minutes to be over there running as
- 59:51a human. Well, you' re getting there, you' re starting
- 59:54to warm up and you' re starting to add all the rage, adrenaline,
- 1:00:00people, the atmosphere. You were aces there already. Colombia. Yes,
- 1:00:04yes, of course, yes, of course, I with the brand
- 1:00:06started the first of February. And of course, the first of February and
- 1:00:09that was the twenty- eight. Something like that. Oh, that'
- 1:00:14s good in the hand. But there came another important factor, and it
- 1:00:19is the adaptation of the shoes. Well, that was kind of stubborn,
- 1:00:22of course, something you did. Okay. The team was informed that the
- 1:00:27team to come in December here was not going to continue with them. And,
- 1:00:31well, all this change begins, all this process begins, all these
- 1:00:37things begin. He changed the shoe, the fit and, fortunately, I
- 1:00:44think it influenced me a lot, because we ran well. It' s
- 1:00:47not tremendous. Of course, of course, it adapts very quickly to these
- 1:00:51competitive shoes of the brand. Yeah, yeah, actually. It' s
- 1:00:54been a really good shoe. I really liked the shoe. It' s
- 1:00:59very thin. I like the shoe pretty much. What' s that competition,
- 1:01:01competition? What is the Ky Speeder skye fied goals or that' s
- 1:01:07the one I use. There are other people who use that lice, but
- 1:01:09in my case I like the sky better I have prout them all and that
- 1:01:14' s the one with which I bow the most. Conex have two competition
- 1:01:16shoes OK and the set you know they' re called treats. If it
- 1:01:21' s like for a person who doesn' t have such a broad track,
- 1:01:24it' s just the skys that makes you a little bit. We
- 1:01:25saw them version Paris, the red ones or already wait know the peaks is
- 1:01:35so good, don' t take too long, because we go to the
- 1:01:39series of competitions. I mean, you had to do that parenthesis of gear
- 1:01:43change, because obviously you get to tell people. Two hours eight was the
- 1:01:47minimum mark to make two hours eight minutes. What happens you have to go
- 1:01:52three, two to three two. You followed your planet that kilometers we didn
- 1:02:00' t leave and well, in the first kilometer you don' t see,
- 1:02:06but a lot of groups everywhere. I' m starting to organize all
- 1:02:09that. I' ve already talked to some friends from Ecuador and they were
- 1:02:13going for two ten threees estes with them and if I feel well, in
- 1:02:20the twenty- one, in the thirty speed tried to leave. Then of
- 1:02:23course we got out of one of these. It was a group more or
- 1:02:28less, not very large, as a good group arrives. How many were
- 1:02:30mamens. I think about ten eight doubted runners. Then clear at first,
- 1:02:36if we had poles ahead past or less, I began to pass at kilometer
- 1:02:39twelve fourteen. I was ahead, I saved myself, but after the average
- 1:02:44they started to stay most and we started to pass a hair of Spain.
- 1:02:49Another little angel who I don' t know who he was and we left
- 1:02:52like two or three ahead after the average and we already started releasing partials to
- 1:02:55three, two, three, one, three and I said now it was
- 1:03:00according to the blessing that now began this egg. Not sure. Sure,
- 1:03:04it' s clear, he' s started the race. We left,
- 1:03:07but then I arrived I was going too well at kilometer thirty- five passed
- 1:03:13by the table and not my habitallamiento I saw something similar and crazy today when
- 1:03:17I was carried to me by a banderita from Peru. That' s where
- 1:03:21you took him from the outside and then there was a lady standing by and
- 1:03:24I threw the bottle and I threw the fifteen table that I was wrong.
- 1:03:25I was wrong, but in a water office I didn' t take anything
- 1:03:30and then they' re giving a few glasses but I don' t know
- 1:03:31which cave place. Everything and a half took root there in sweetness to his
- 1:03:35mouth he was wearing a spare gel in case anything like this happened, but
- 1:03:39it' s not the same. I' d pass the kilometer thirty-
- 1:03:45five and I' d be looking. I said maybe the brand doesn'
- 1:03:45t give me, but I' m going to the national record. If
- 1:03:49I go well, I take a cramp on the fragma day that I said
- 1:03:52and she' s a whore she' s not gonna be able to go
- 1:03:55on or there' s that one. That was the biggest crisis I had
- 1:03:57a mile away than thirty- six came, that pain and cramp started here
- 1:04:01tremendous hurt me so much, I wasn' t able to breathe and a
- 1:04:08lot of things happen in my head that the first thing I said and I
- 1:04:12said whore to touch, slow down, not make it able to follow and
- 1:04:15I said no where I' m going like saying no that doesn' t
- 1:04:16come here. Let' s go ahead. Already trying to be calm and
- 1:04:19then start doing things like trying to improvise to see what comes out. I
- 1:04:28started breathing less and clearly it stopped hurting so much. Then it was every
- 1:04:32time I breathed I found and began to look as far as I could breathe
- 1:04:39without hurting. And so I was until again I forgot the pain, I
- 1:04:43forgot the vol the same thing about it base was forgotten and I followed fruit.
- 1:04:47It was a crisis of two or three kilometers and sick of arsism,
- 1:04:53yes, yes, yes, there goes this tring art, yes, yes.
- 1:04:56I think up to a mile it went up to about three days,
- 1:04:59three, fifteen, something happened there I finished this part and we were almost
- 1:05:03there. Very little was missing and we entered Plaza España in Seville. She
- 1:05:08' s a dochin son of a bitch. As I left Plaza España and
- 1:05:12was all that, I came back to find rhythm. It was tremendous,
- 1:05:16in fact, the fur that was with me the most. I went there.
- 1:05:20That' s where I lost contact with him and ran two ten,
- 1:05:24like two days thirty just like that and I just watched when that Merica was
- 1:05:29passing the goal wey whota already there I go, I, that was mine,
- 1:05:32that was the lookout told me clear and the national record started to feel.
- 1:05:38It' s past 40 km. I can' t quite remember the
- 1:05:42number. The clock already said I' m going if if you threw in
- 1:05:45six something records closed, something was said recuria, because already had broken legs
- 1:05:49already felt very swollen. I was getting very tired and I was going there.
- 1:05:54First kilometer, three, one, three, two and me all fifty
- 1:05:56- eight. Yeah, still clear. And then I got a mile forty
- 1:06:00- two, and I said" whore" About two hours and nine and
- 1:06:02I' m coming. I' m gonna make records and start looking at
- 1:06:06the watch and wey bitch, but don' t put it in. Where
- 1:06:09' s the finish line? That' s where the clock starts forty-
- 1:06:11two hundred, forty- two, two hundred and five whores. I'
- 1:06:14m still getting in and out. I' ve been forty- two three
- 1:06:16hundred forty- two four lens and play hooker, but where when I put
- 1:06:18it. That' s where I didn' t miss the twist, and
- 1:06:23I started to see the board and no longer. Here it was whores,
- 1:06:25but I go I saw in two eleven two two, two, and I
- 1:06:29arrived and already that second, that moment where I passed the goal, I
- 1:06:31forget record, I forget everything and since it is that rest and the satisfaction
- 1:06:35that everything went well that I said I mean, so many things that happened
- 1:06:39and finished it. Yes, you did, and I' ve always said
- 1:06:44the marathon is a very emotional test of what I' ve lived in the
- 1:06:46marathon. I have not seen you in any other test for two yes,
- 1:06:50yes, you pass the goal and this attack you a lot of emotions And
- 1:06:57there are so many things that if you live there in a matter of seconds,
- 1:07:01that you do not know, do not know what to do or what
- 1:07:05to say, but of course, exact brutal, so many emotions and in
- 1:07:10the goal, with all that hand of monsters, manes that classified Paris,
- 1:07:16of course people, jumping, jumping, but record. Well, the record,
- 1:07:18not the individual achievement. I think it' s more important than anything
- 1:07:23else and of course it looks at people holding their Olympic Games or their national
- 1:07:28return. And it doesn' t matter an ass too and it' s
- 1:07:30my thing and I' ll set you up as an example It' s
- 1:07:35like the best Latino also hasn' t, no, Carlos Diaz hasn'
- 1:07:38t been there, who used two eight. Carlos I qualified and well,
- 1:07:40I don' t know what else Latin we got. There are also some
- 1:07:42hairs of Brazil FSH and ran two twelve. Well, well, the second
- 1:07:45debut, the second fastest debut in history in the country, second debut and
- 1:07:49third best time in history. Well, I think it' s kind of
- 1:07:56different, but we all come in there like pretty close in fact, Jason
- 1:08:02' s record was thirty- five, thirty- seven seconds. So we
- 1:08:06' re all on a line and very close. You think he did have
- 1:08:11something to do with hydration, taking it suddenly mentally or something that I am
- 1:08:18very enemy of the ubiera He, if it was lubera, does not exist
- 1:08:24and I think that is what happened, it is what was lived in the
- 1:08:29moment and the truth, at this moment it would not change anything, regardless
- 1:08:34of the inconveniences or the things that were happened. I enjoyed the race a
- 1:08:41lot, I lived it, I enjoyed it, I felt it was something
- 1:08:45that was very passionate to me and to see that all this preparation that was
- 1:08:49made gave a good fltto. Then it would be like hurting me the right
- 1:08:55moment by a fool if I say total. David, the millionth pronto in
- 1:09:00two or three months. I' m gonna try and bring no, not
- 1:09:05that, yeah, I' m staying with my old coach' s philosophy.
- 1:09:09I think it' s better to look at things in the long run.
- 1:09:13Yes, of course, it would be very good, but the first
- 1:09:16few weeks were terrible. I had to curl up, it hurt everywhere.
- 1:09:20I was so tired. I wanted to recover well, so, right now,
- 1:09:26I' m already accumulating a lot of miles. I respect injuries very
- 1:09:30much. I have a lot of respect for him and I would not want
- 1:09:36to hurt myself if I had to stop a process just because of an ambition,
- 1:09:41because I wanted to do something. Then, of course, it would
- 1:09:43be very nice. It would be very cool to be at the Olympic Games,
- 1:09:45but I think I have to think first of myself, of my integrity,
- 1:09:49of my sporting career, because maybe for speeding me up. It could
- 1:09:53be my last marathon and who knows if I could finish it. I don
- 1:09:57' t know how I could build up the whole body, so I'
- 1:10:02d rather not invent in these things. I want to take it easy and
- 1:10:05think of a second semester, a better marathon, try to improve something,
- 1:10:12try to run better, not totally, that is, from here on out.
- 1:10:14You have everything to win and you can' t lose everything in a
- 1:10:18short period of time, because right now you' re with a new international
- 1:10:21brand. Tremendous. You made your debut, that' s a debut.
- 1:10:26It' s the first time you feel like it' s forty- two
- 1:10:30full new things for you to travel so many miles on a plane, to
- 1:10:34compete four days, so many things, that is, what you have is
- 1:10:38many things to win ahead of the Olympics. The others are more close,
- 1:10:42then exactly, and no more lining the teck if you want blackberries, boxing.
- 1:10:47People are true. That' s a message Yes, I' m
- 1:10:53closer to my mom, my wife. Of course you have to see the
- 1:10:57good one. Yeah, sure, nothing. David, thank you so much
- 1:11:00for telling us your story, if we obviously have a lot of information left,
- 1:11:06because, well, for those who don' t know it' s
- 1:11:10Angino' s husband was that another very good athlete in Colombia and we lacked
- 1:11:15how to get into that detail. But thank you very much, David,
- 1:11:16for being here and for telling us this very low story. We had a
- 1:11:20lot of fun. Nothing. You many for the invitation. The truth is,
- 1:11:24it was a pleasant time. I didn' t feel the time.
- 1:11:27It was short as we go on, it was no more than fifty-
- 1:11:31nine minutes, seeing in sixty- two, but not the truth. Thank
- 1:11:35you very much, not only on behalf of me, but of all athletics
- 1:11:41in general, because, I have always said, the media play a very
- 1:11:45important role in keeping athletics growing, continuing to evolve, in that brands are
- 1:11:48already positioning and still being fixed. In us sportsmen, then what you are
- 1:11:54doing is too important for us and, on my part, what you need
- 1:11:59well to be available. No thanks, David. I' m telling you
- 1:12:03honestly, he' s been one of the people who' s opened his
- 1:12:09life and history. So easily to us you have told us things that no
- 1:12:15one has told us, and that we thank you very much so that people
- 1:12:19see that not everything is pink. In this sheath you eat a lot of
- 1:12:24poo There are people who are not born with the same opportunities as others.
- 1:12:27There are people that life surprises you in a year. There are other people
- 1:12:30who have to spend thirteen years eating to get God’ s reward of life.
- 1:12:38So, thank you for sharing this moment with us, for opening up
- 1:12:42to you like this I repeat and thank you for saying something that is very
- 1:12:48fundamental and we all have a history of your operation, of motivation. For
- 1:12:50many people, there are people who are very enemies of telling their things,
- 1:12:56but I think that for certain people the message comes very deep. So,
- 1:13:03our job is not just to focus on my family, but to look at
- 1:13:10how we can help what we can bring to society, what we can do,
- 1:13:15or how we can bring about a certain change that is really needed.
- 1:13:17We can all help each other and, in fact, there are many people
- 1:13:24who have written to me, many people who have spoken to me and told
- 1:13:27me. I have listened to you, I have seen your message, your
- 1:13:30story and I am filled with motivation for me to change my life, to
- 1:13:34already help. Then we all have a story of overcoming and motivation that can
- 1:13:39serve someone else or some other people. Hopefully, many people know how to
- 1:13:45lead and from the example of us, we can take a big turn and
- 1:13:49we can change this society that truly needs it. Good meetings. Thank you
- 1:13:55very much. A serious David thank you so much for listening to us subscribe
- 1:13:59to the channels, to YouTube as to Spotify and for continuing to put together
- 1:14:03these so many stories of our sport and our beloved sport that they have a
- 1:14:09happy weekend, to repent all over again. Thank you.
