bueno bueno que cuento??????
Alerta naranja en Tenerife pero los 5 campeones saliron en mar complicado. Gracias a Gerardo para las fotos, Pablo en el kayak con Gerardo. Jose Brito, Miquel Cruz, Pablo y Luis Portello y yo nadando para una benifica http://www.inganeyami.com/ Mitad de la travesia queremos volver pero decidimos despues que siguiemos. Con 6km y 1hr 24m el viento subio con olas de 4m y muy muy complicado. Cada uno por su cuenta saliron en lal 1º orilla donde podian.Y de verdad preocupamos por los dos en kayaks pero no habia tiempo mirando donde estaban ellos. Tardaran 20m para salir con fuertes olas. Gracias a Dios que todos terminaron bien y sano. Llegamos todo mojados en la recepcion de MarAzul pediendo que mandaran transporte. Los clientes pensaban que eramos los maleteros nuevos. Despues llegaron 2 patrullas de Guardia Civil y Policia Local. Los chicos con kayak llegaron mal en la proxima salida salvando los kayaks pero los remos se perdieron. La proxima vez vamos tener mas cuidado con el mar porque el mar no tiene amigos y tenemos que respectar las condiciones. Buena companerismo, gracias a todos.

One of the toughest ocean swim I experienced. We took off from Playa San Juan: Ryszard Majewski, Jose, Miquel, Pablo and Luis swimming. In the kayaks were Pablo and Gerardo.Knowing that the sea conditions were on orange alert we took off. 10min into the sea swimming we were doubting to continue as the conditions along the horizon didnt seem too attractive. We continued with a good pace. Halfway to our destination things started to get complicated, strong winds and currents. After 6km and 1hr and 24m a sudden storm hit us, 4m waves and 1km from our destination we decided each one had to get out asap. We saw a small exist point with stairs, swimming against the current and in a panicking mood, it took us 20m to get out as the waves were hitting the rocks at an incredible force. The two kayaks in the process were not to be seen as they searched for a landing area 50m from where we were. Both lost their oars and also entered with complications. Due to our fitness levels and experience we all arrived safely and nobody was injured.

Entrenamiento en Las Vistas, Tenerife - Open water training in Las Vistas beach, Tenerife

It was one of those days where nobody turned up for training. Carnaval fever here in Tenerife, but Ryszard Majewski decided that despite the weather conditions and no swimming partners, to do some training in the ocean. Las Vistas beach was the best place as the weather was risky. I confronted 2m waves, strong currents and strong winds. Also the buoy line that stretches from one end of the beach to the other was broken off due to the extreme weather we have been having. I did a 7.8km swim which is my personal longest distance ever. Great swim and I was determined to do another 1300m but the sea was too rough and I was alone. Sorry no photos this time.
