Jorge Tarrago's Eye

 

This is my eye after swim 2.5 km, that’s why the expression of it shows that I am too tired. It is not completely open. The eye is looking up; I want to reach the top. Never look down, always as up as your eyes permit. It also express respect, I know perfectly that it is going to be a hard way to get where I’m looking.

Above my eye there is a swim glasses. I have the glasses in this position before any competition. I want to see perfectly what is in front of me and at the same time being ready to start.

 

Cheers

 

The beer is a perfect recovery drink. Is not a joke or an irony, it’s totally true; his components make the beer one of the best muscles recovery.

That’s not all, drink a beer with the friends after a competition helps to disconnect of the hard trainings.

When I go through Spain by bike (120 km every day), we drunk a jar of beer every day. It was perfect, the best part of the travel.

 



Where is the limit hat

 

This is not a usual cap. It is a runner one. The hat has a whole to let the transpiration of the head, avoiding to for the insolations.

It is red. That color express anger. Necessary for complete any competition.

The sentence on the front part of the cap is: Where is the limit? We always have a limit to reach, it seems to be impossible, logically, is our limit. However when we get closely to it, we realize that our limit could be higher. That’s why we don’t know where is our limit, we know where is not.

Where is the limit book

 

This book is an inspiriting book written by an economist and triathlete. Just like me, that’s why I choose that book.

The title is “where is the limit” and it explains that we can do all we want.

Jorge Tarrago's Laptop

The computer is really important for me, is where I write all my experiences and my train schedules.

Near from the computer is a key to fix the bike and a jar of water. Those things are right there because when I come to my home after train I leave the jar of water and the key near from my computer.

Sleep bag

 

 

 

I love the mountain, that’s why many times I have had to sleep in a sleep bag. I choose that kind of bed because it fits with me. Sleeping here I may be uncomfortable. However when I get up and I see all the mountains around me, I see that it worth slept like this.

Energy tree

 

The best part of a train is when I rest under a tree recovering energy. That’s why I choose a tree with kind of energy flowing around the tree. The spectacular landscape helps to recover from the hard training.

Lance Amstrong Poster

 

This is one of my favorite quotes. It’s from Lance Amstrong, one of the best sportiest that have ever been, thought there are people that says that he is a cheat.

After won 7 France tours (probably the hardest competition in the world) he said that: “Pain is temporary, it may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, even a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. However, if I quit, it last forever”. This sentence inspire me to try what I do hard.
