Tamara Vázquez Miguel (Huesca, 1990) likes to read – “It comes from Philology” – and in his house in Nueno he does not have TV or board games, but there is no shortage of dogs, bikes … “Sport,” he says, “is my hobby, my life, my passion and, if I can do it with dogs, all the better.”
He had a childhood “familiarly very pleasant” and she grew up with her brother “like a good little sister.” Your life is linked to sports since she was very young. “I was not walking when I was two years old, I had lazy muscles and they immediately took me to rehab.” At the Pío XII school, “they enrolled me in rhythmic gymnastics, soccer …, in all kinds of sports, so that my muscles would be strengthened.”
At IES Lucas Mallada, Physical Education teacher Ricardo Constante took her to badminton and, after high school, “I did two careers in Zaragoza at the same time, Hispanic Philology and Classical Philology.” In order to train with the Huesca Badminton Club, “I came and went every day from Zaragoza, and competed nationally with the team. It was a very gratifying experience for me to get two majors, a master’s degree and enjoy my university years and being in a top-level badminton team ”. Some 15 years practicing this sport, being several times champion of Aragon (individual and mixed), and the number 2 of the national ranking some season.
Finished the race and He dedicated himself to teaching (Language and Literature). First in concerted institutes in Zaragoza, then a year in Salesianos de Monzón, “until I was able to compete and I passed the first secondary school teacher exams, but I was the first to run out of place and my acting life began in Sabiñánigo, Graus and today I am in the Pyramid of Huesca ”. With work the practice of badminton became complicated and at 23 years old they gave him a Weimar braco -‘Diana’-, “which discovered a new sport for me, the canicroos.” Again, “the bond that since she was little” she had with dogs.
The change from badminton to canicross, which is only practiced in winter, was gradual. “I saw that we were doing very good results in canicross, which was a new sport, I started going out at the national level and training athletics regularly, and I stopped badminton. We finished third in canicross, We qualified for the European Championship and little by little we have been growing and leveling up. It has been an amazing experience”. With ‘Diana’ they were third in Spain this year and have qualified for the European Championship in Italy and the World Cup in Canada, next October, but his dog is already 9 years old “and they let them run only until they are 10.” As an alternative, you already have ‘Kona’, a ‘European sled dog’.
In summer, Tamara used to do mountain races, but her partner is more linked to triathlon and she is preparing for an Ironman triathlon that will take place in Kazakhstan in August. They swim 3.8 kilometers, go 180 kilometers by road bike and do a running marathon. Almost nothing. Until the course starts, all sports.
