Unidos por un reto
Oscar Negrete Incera
Me llamo Oscar Negrete Incera y tengo 42 años. Vivo en Colindres, un precioso pueblo pesquero del litoral cántabro; un pueblo pequeño en el que todos nos conocemos y eso me gusta. Desde los 9 años me dedico a mi gran pasión, el ciclismo, deporte que llevo practicando 33 años y que sólo he aparcado en contadas ocasiones, para dedicarme a otras disciplinas deportivas.
Hace más de 10 años que trabajo en el Parque de Bomberos de Laredo, una profesión tan dura como gratificante. Vivo por y para mi trabajo, me encanta mi profesión y, gracias a ella, he descubierto el valor del compañerismo, por la confianza plena que tienes que depositar en tus compañeros a la hora de enfrentarte a situaciones límite, en las que tu vida depende de ellos; gracias a ella he aprendido a superar y controlar grandes momentos de estrés y a gestionar mis emociones. Me llena de orgullo mi profesión y espero poder seguir dedicándome a ella durante mucho tiempo. Año tras año, me he propuesto diferentes retos en mi carrera deportiva, considero que también es una forma de motivarte, sobre todo para una persona como yo, que lleva tantos años practicando el mismo deporte. Por eso, a lo largo de mi carrera deportiva he probado multitud de cosas diferentes. De todos los deportes que he practicado he aprendido algo y he tenido la suerte de disfrutar de muchas victorias. En duatlón conseguí un Campeonato de Cantabria, varios Subcampeonatos y un 7º puesto en el Campeonato de España, en mi primera participación; en triatlón, aquí mi mayor logro fue un Subcampeonato del Mundo (rodeado de mucha polémica, ya que por una artimaña de la organización en favor de otro corredor, me robaron el Campeonato. Aún, hoy en día, me estoy planteando reclamarla judicialmente); también he practicado cuadriatlón, piragüismo y atletismo entre otros. De todos ellos me llevo las grandes experiencias vividas y las excepcionales personas a las que he conocido.
En el año 2013 me planteé mi primer reto solidario, me ofrecieron ser el piloto de un ciclista que es invidente y no me pude negar; dije: "sí", al momento, la solidaridad me pudo, sabía que sin mí Roberto Macía (mi copiloto de tándem) no podría competir, así que probé; ha sido una experiencia máxima para mí, al principio cuesta, ya que tiene que haber 100% de compenetración y confianza, sino es imposible. la responsabilidad que el piloto asume es tan grande que al principio asusta, ya que eres los ojos de la persona que va detrás y todas las decisiones recaen en tí; poco a poco nos fuimos conociendo a través de los entrenamientos y bueno, podemos decir que no se nos dio nada mal.Pero este año 2014 llega el mayor reto de mi vida, el más importante para mí. Quiero batir el Récord de la hora de Ciclismo en Pista de Bomberos Profesionales, por una causa solidaria que me afecta muy de cerca; me gustaría recaudar fondos para la investigación de los factores que provocan la enfermedad del Alzheimer. Y digo que me toca muy de cerca, porque mi padre sufre esta enfermedad desde hace más de 10 años; me ha marcado mucho su deterioro físico, pero sobre todo me ha marcado su deterioro intelectual y cognitivo, ya que no recuerda nada de su vida. Esta enfermedad incurable destruye tanto a las personas que la sufren como a los que estamos a su alrededor. Por eso necesito esos fondos, para donarlos a la investigación de las causas que producen esta enfermedad y que aún, hoy en día, se desconocen.
¿Por qué lo hago?
- Porque quiero rendir un homenaje a mi padre, él me inculcó este deporte desde mi infancia y que me ha hecho muy feliz; en este deporte he encontrado grandes amigos, que décadas después lo siguen siendo, me he convertido en mejor persona, me ha enseñado a valorar el esfuerzo y sacrificio, el compañerismo, el trabajo, el creer en uno mismo, ...; que me ha dado tantas alegrías y penas, victorias, derrotas... de todo he aprendido algo y ha sido gracias a él, a la persona que apostó todo por mí; ahora es mi turno y tengo que apostar todo por él.
- Porque quiero que la gente sea consciente y reflexione, aunque sea sólo durante un par de minutos, sobre lo que supone esta enfermedad; que nos puede tocar a cualquiera; da igual que te cuides, que estés sano....ahí está el ejemplo de mi padre, un gran deportista, casi el mejor de sus tiempos...sano, fuerte, pero le tocó.
- Porque quiero que se tenga en cuenta a las familias que les cuidamos, que se nos reconozca nuestro gran esfuerzo, entrega y trabajo. También lo hago por nosotros.
- Porque quiero que los enfermos tengan una mayor calidad de vida, que puedan contar y trabajar con centros y materiales específicos para su enfermedad y profesionales cualificados que les cuiden como se merecen.
- Porque quiero que mediante la investigación, se pueda prevenir esta enfermedad, que se pueda diagnosticar con la mayor anticipación posible y poder así, alargar la vida intelectual de nuestros enfermos.
Ayúdame a batir el record de la hora
Por todo esto y mucho más quiero batir el récord de la hora, pero para ello os necesito, a todos, cuantos más mejor, familia, amigos, vecinos, ....todos seréis bienvenidos a mi causa; no importa lo que aportéis, todo será tenido en cuenta, ideas, proyectos, ayuda, aportación económica,... lo que se os ocurra, todo vale con tal de luchar contra algo que sigue avanzando y que destruye todo lo que encuentra a su alrededor.
Unidos seguro que podremos ponerle freno o por lo menos lo intentaremos, por eso quiero empezar desde hoy esta aventura juntos; aventura que culminará el próximo día 12 de Abril de 2014 en el velódromo Miguel Induráin de Tafalla (Navarra). Ese día os necesito a mi lado, para que con vuestra presencia, me deis ese empujón que me hará tanta falta, para batir el récord por todas esas personas enfermas. Sé que mi pueblo, Colindres, pueblo solidario donde los haya va a apoyarme al máximo. Yo seré el que se suba a la bicicleta y dé pedales, pero vosotros seréis la fuerza que me empuje. Quiero que mi ilusión de un nuevo reto, sea la ilusión de todo un pueblo, para que podamos decir que entre todos fue posible y que quedemos “unidosporunreto” para siempre.

RULES, TIMINGS AND PENALTIES
Published on 03 Dec 2013 by Rob Howard/SleepMonsters.com
As you might have picked up from all the reports there has been some confusion about rules and penalties, and the captains were given another update right Pascal Bahaudbefore the race start. The main confusion was about the rafting dark zone, and whether time would be neutralized.
The final, final decision on this was that the dark zone would be enforced at the rafting stage from T8, and any teams who got through there would able to continue the following paddle and trekking stage. (That trek is the one with a lot of snakes, but it seems the dark zone there is for press only!) Those who are stopped won’t have their time neutralized now, so they will fall 14 hours behind those who got through.
Another change is there will be no neutralized time at the Superman Zip line, so if teams are held up queuing they will lose time. It is a very steep hill up to the start of the zip line, and the manager there said he would like to see the person who can ride up it! The flight takes a couple of minutes and they can put around 12 racers an hour down it, so there may be some waiting, and teams will be racing up that steep hill to get there first! He may get his wish.
Speaking to one of the race jury this morning I asked about the penalties and he told me that all those teams who were missing a back-up GPS at the start had managed to find one, so there were no penalties applied for that. (That’s good news, rather than having a bunch of teams starting the race with penalties over a misunderstanding.)

THE MORNING AFTER THE NIGHT BEFORE
Published on 03 Dec 2013 by Rob Howard/SleepMonsters.com
As a foggy dawn broke Transition One was busy with teams preparing to set off on the first paddling stage. By this stage the transition field was awash with mud Setting off on the Paddling Stageand the mosquitoes were massing and biting, but as teams rode in (coming along the road from both directions), they didn’t care, they were just glad to have arrived!
It had been a long, hard first night of the race, and the competitors and their bikes were caked in mud after the overnight rains. It sounds like the teams did miss the worst of the deluge, which left the roads a foot deep in water in places nearer the coast, but they did encounter some rain. “It wasn’t too bad,” said Wendy Fjellstad of Team Peaklife Sport, “we had some rain and put our jackets on, but it wasn’t cold. It was the mud which was the problem.”
Her team mate Karl Webster was more forthright. “I’m not sure whose idea of a joke that was,” he said, “we carried the bikes for hours and the muddy gullies were horrendous – I’m sure no one has ever ridden some of those trails before – they were not meant for mountain biking!”
At the time this team were deciding whether to wash the bikes or leave them, but most took them down to the river to wash off.
In transition at the same time were the La Ruta Landrover team with ‘the Italian adventure racer’, Marco Ponteri (he is usually the only one at big races like this). He was with the team representing ‘La Ruta’ perhaps the world’s premier endurance mountain bike race, which crosses Costa Rica coast to coast, and race founder Roman Urbina is on the team.
He was busy dismantling his bike in the mud and commented, “I didn’t really enjoy carrying my bike for 5 hours – you should ride a bike not carry it! As you can see we are not really adventure racers – we are mountain bikers pretending to be adventure racers!”
Team Dark Horse from the USA were busy sorting their gear, and discussing why the kayak gear box was not at this transition, which it isn’t apparently! “It’s just another one of those little challenges,” said Tom Smith. He was talking to Molly Houseman who is on her first long adventure race. This a quite a race to start with!
“The mud and carrying was crazy,” she said, “there was one place where there must have been about 50 people queuing to get down a slot canyon of mud in single file, and everyone was helping each other out. We did get wet for a while, it went from fog to mist to rain to a downpour.” This is a team with some experience of Costa Rica as both Smith and David Darby have done all 4 Costa Rica Adventure Races, but after that night Smith said, “Pongo is off my Christmas list now, he’s not getting a card!” (Pongo is the nickname of the Race Director.)
There was no let up for the teams either as they all had to drag their heavy bike boxes through the mud across to the truck and pump up their own kayaks, which took a while. Once that was done they could slide down the muddy bank into the water of the Rio Coto Colorado. They would follow this for some distance out into the delta and onto the ocean, but even at the put in position it was broad and fast flowing.
The leaders had passed through this transition much earlier, moving an hour quicker than the predicted race time, despite the weather. Thule Adventure had made a break and were chased into transition by Columbia Vidaraid , quickly followed the rest of the top teams. Near CP5 on the ride there had been 14 teams all together in the chasing pack, and even by TA1 the first 12 teams came in within an hour of each other.
Seagate and Haglofs Silva were particularly quick in transition and as teams set off onto the ocean it was the 3 most successful squads of recent years, Thule Adventure, Seagate and Haglofs Silva leading the way, but the chasers were not far behind.

SLOW BOATS TO RINCON
Published on 03 Dec 2013 by Rob Howard/SleepMonsters.com
The first big paddle stage of the race is a beautiful paddle around the coast to reach the eastern bank of the Osa Peninsula. For the leaders it was a paddle onArriving at Rincon calm seas, to checkpoints on small islands and sandy beaches overhung with palm trees, idyllic in many ways, but you can have too much of a good thing! After 10 hours labouring in slow inflatable boats, in hot and sticky conditions, the leading teams were glad to get out of their boats at the finish at Rincon, stretch their legs, attend to their sore spots and recover from cramp and dehydration.
First to arrive at the end of the stage, a muddy inlet beside a wooden jetty, were Seagate and Thule Adventure, and as usual Seagate were quickly through and away first. Thule said they had seen some monkeys on the shore and Seagate a ray leaping about in the sea, but there are no reports of sea snakes – not yet anyway. In this area and on the trek across the peninsula all of the teams will have a good chance to see some wildlife as this is the most bio diverse place on the planet.
Team Haglofs Silva were next to arrive, again passing through quickly and after a gap a group of three chasing teams came in, Quasar Lontra, Tecnu and Columbia Vidaraid. All arrived together, and all were busy as this was a complex transition. First the teams had to carry the boats 50m up the track, then they deflated them before carrying the heavy boats a further 50m to the trucks which would transport them to the next Transition (where they will have to pump them up again!).
At the same time they had to sort out and prepare to carry all of their kayaking gear (pfd’s, paddles, seats, sails, trolleys etc.) on the following 27km trek. This is a heavy load to haul in the heat and when they get to the end they will recover the boats and have another 10km portage with them! The reason is the race felt they couldn’t transport all the paddle gear across to the other side of the peninsula but it is a harsh ask of the teams and will be mentally tough.
It will also mean the leaders will arrive on the far shore for the next paddling stage in the dark, and this will make the score orienteering navigation in a huge tidal mangrove swamp even harder – as if it were not hard enough already.
The chasing teams were quick enough to voice their opinions on the paddle. “Boats, they are more like barges,” said Bob Miller of Tecnu. “Seriously they are terrible and I think the fastest we made was 6k an hour. Everything is sore after sitting for 12 hours. As the team struggled to deflate and roll the boats I asked Garrett Bean it they had used their sails at all, and he said, “Not at all!” I think all the teams have bought them, but it is not often sails give a big advantage. Teams don’t want to give any advantage to their competitors however, and there is a lot more paddling to do on the race, so they might yet play their part.
Kyle Peter was looking forward to sleeping tonight though he knew foul tides might mean they couldn’t and Bob Miller was already feeling how tough the course is. “These were supposed to be the smoother legs,” he said, “and so far it’s been brutal. I don’t think many teams will finish.”
Next in were the two adidas teams, from the UK and Sweden. At the world champs 2011 these two teams were in a sprint finish and they are once again evenly matched. “That was too long,” said Nick Gracie. Warren Bates chipped in, “No, the boats were too slow, they are designed for floating down rivers, not use on flat water.”
Teams will be arriving at the transition into and through the night, and further down the field they will be taking even longer to reach Rincon, and will no doubt be even more relieved when they come ashore.
