My speed in the arrivals was not very good and to laugh at myself, I can say that my regularity was amazing, if we got five runners to the sprint, it was 5th, if there were three of us in 3rd and so on. Therefore, all my positions are due to races where the hardness of their course was evident, either in the middle or high mountains or against the clock.
