“From a very young age my parents took me swimming regularly a couple of days a week, and I remember that there were about 30 children like me, all together and screaming and gathered in the pool at same time at swimming lessons… what a real version of a proper Ironman Kick off that was!! ̈
Then I started playing football, the quintessential sport in Argentina and that usual dream of every child to become a great famous footballer but this was not clear to me though. Doing sports was never a great effort to me, on the contrary I loved it very much and I used to borrow my father’s bike to go to school, and run errands wherever I went. I wouldn’t stop, every day when school was over, I spent the afternoon playing football, running and biking with my friends. Owning a bike in those times was like having a treasure.
