His absence in Igorre and the last two tests of the Spanish Cup.The biker

before leaving for the World Cup.Given this situation David himself wants
Communicate the following:
Sometimes life surprises you
"As many of you will know in the last races I have not come to run or
I have been able to show signs of life on social networks.I'm not sick,
I am not afraid as it has been said for different Internet sites, everything goes
beyond and has a why.
Everything dates back to the last month of November.I was quite in shape and me
I felt quite well on the bicycle, I ran in Les francs del Vallès and
I almost noticed that the legs were alone, he recovered very well from the efforts, he had
A lot of desire to train and the objective was to reach the glasses of Spain and
Be able to get some good results viewed the sensations.
Four days before going to Gijón my throat hurt, I had a small infection
In the neck but I didn't give importance, nothing was going to deprive me of going to the Spain Cup,
Once in Gijón it sounds bad to say when you are struggling to do second but
The sensations were disastrous, there was nothing comfortable, very decentralized and the worst
It was tremendous back pain, I thought it could be the trip, which was very
long.The next day in Navia the same, I could be fighting in front but I didn't go
with the ease of the previous weeks.
I talked to my coach Jaume more and sent me rest days thinking that
It was a matter of an accumulation of tiredness because of travel and training.The
Next week I continued training for the last test in Mataró and
The truth that no day was comfortable.Many days had to stop to rest
in refrigos in which weeks before I rose to the dish, psychologically began to
turn the matter to see what could be the cause of my poor performance but
I attributed everything to fatigue as I said.
After running in Mataró, I only thought about the magnificent week that
I expected on the bridge of La Purísima and run almost every day that is really what
I like it.On Monday I already noticed something weird, I saw nothing ... that's how it was almost blind.
Normally the view is one of the things that I have perfect in the reviews,
I even went to the oculist and saw me some myopia but nothing exaggerated as for
Not seeing anything.The symptoms increased.He urinated about 20 times a day, drank 8 or 9
Liters a day, until Friday I had different sensations.
At the time of food, out of curiosity, I looked at blood sugar with the device
From my father (he is diabetic) and was 490, almost 5 times higher than normal.A
Crofrío toured all my body, I knew that it was impossible if my pancreas
It worked well but they were not going to truncar my plans to go to Igorre and I went out to
noon to shoot by bike with my friend Jordi.During all the training I was going
Chocking the trees, I unbalanced me, my head hurt.Jordi and my parents
They took me to the hospital, they admitted me immediately, they gave no choice to anything,
I couldn't go to Igorre, they didn't stop doing evidence, blood analysis, urine,
They measure sugar, questions from my sensations in previous weeks, they didn't give me
From eating, I only had a serum on the vein, everything was going through my head and
Not good.
In the next morning the doctor appeared and gave us the famous news which the
people have taken from context "you are diabetic, type 1", at that time I only
He annoyed my mother's face upon receiving the news."That's what there is" I thought but
The question was much simpler than the explanation, can I ride a bike? "; and
Everyone looked at me with a face"Take it calmly colleague."I could not be
With that doubt but it is reality, I have to take time to know my
body, as reacts with efforts and how I adapt to my new form of
Life to be able to be again and be able to give war on races.
Every day I go better both physically and on the subject of my illness but that
It is what I want to make clear.It is a disease but I take it as a
New way of life, which does not sound so bad.I don't want people to think "poor
Chaval "I am one more, and I know, for the education that my parents have given me and what
I have taught this beautiful sport that is nothing easy, that every step you take to
front has to be complicated but surpassed with effort and I will render to me
Level even if there are the opposite.
I am annoying that I have touched me because from the barrier everything is very easy but
This is going to be my motivation added to how hard this sport is and, of course,
Take advantage of each and every good and bad moments that will give me
From now on.
My therapy is going to be very simple, I will go to run all the races I can for
to be able to regulate my insulin dose and glucose intake and if they go wrong then
Well, and they go well because better, the important thing for me right now is to be
In every way.It seems that it is a "pupae" but I tell this this is why
Do not get the things of context as it has happened until now.A hug and happy
Christmas, to eat nougat for me. "
David will be in the next international cyclocross in Valencia with the aim of
continue in your progression and recovery as well as continue giving everything that
Have to enjoy the bicycle.
