The ‘Bou Bizkaia’ squad of Urdaibai is aware that it has it complicated to win the shell flag no matter how much … It is only 6 seconds from Zierbena and Orio after the first assault, but the sensations within the boat are “very good” and, if on Sunday the maritime conditions and the drawing of streets are put in the face, the ‘txos’ have the ability to jump the bank. “Better than the spotlights are in others and go covered,” they point out from the coastal entity. ElCorreo has had the opportunity to accompany the men of Jon Salsamendi in a training to see how they prepare the second and definitive assault of the summit appointment of the season.
Bermeotarras are in full patron saint parties and the template has had to vary the usual training plan not to coincide with large days such as the Eguna Eguna on Tuesday. The appointment is in the ancient pavilion located at the Matxikorta dock, where the rowers arrive shortly before 6:00 p.m. They have a quarter of an hour to change. The technician has summoned them before training for a talk in which, in addition to analyzing last Sunday’s regatta, he launches some slogans about work.
6 seconds and 18 hundredths of disadvantage has Urdaibai with respect to Zierbena
“I want maximum concentration to give one more step in the growth that we have been having in the days we have,” the technician launched to a much lighter team than the previous year after the march of many heavyweights, but that he wants to claim after a summer of chiaroscuros. “We have nothing to lose,” several members of the squad point out before going to the race to the other side of the dock – Mor of the hammer – where the ramp is located from which they throw the boat into the water. “Between one thing and another more than half an hour,” they detail responsible for the coastal entity that accompany the team. The van that transports the boat follows them behind.
Once the destination is reached, it is time to stretch and throw the trainera to the water. The team members do not need anyone to tell them anything. Each one is clear about their work and in a couple of minutes all the training material is already on the ball. «Rixi, ‘Portu’, you take ten minutes of ergometer and go to pick up in ten minutes. Iñigo –Patron–, you jog at the same time and then enter with them two, ”says Salsamendi.
The rest occupies its position and the trainera begins to slide through the port of the Marinera Villa. «We are softening the body, but little by little. We look for lightness but with confidence. Without specular, ”Salsamendi shouts from the Zodiac without losing detail of the boat march. After the ten minutes established, the ‘Bou Bizkaia’ returns to the boarding ramp and the announced relays are produced. The thirteen now is the one who jumped last Sunday to the Donostiarra Bay. Except for the cause, the coaches do not usually make movements in the crew for the second day.
Neighbors’ encouragement
After another return through the interior of the port – the neighbors who walk through the different docks do not lose detail of the session – the trainera heads towards the mouth. As soon as leaving the breaking coat breaks, the panorama changes radically. The sea is already complicated by the crew of the ‘Bou Bizkaia’ the face is illuminated. He feels in his sauce. They put the wave in the direction of the Gaviota platform. The coach’s zodiac does not stop throwing in the swell trying to follow the trainera, while it seems to cut the waves. «We prioritize back. That is, that’s. Leveled boat, fast boat. Precision », emphasizes sarsamendi that does not stop moving port-stribor to control all the details. «Return Iñigo», claims the technician and, at the order of the pattern, the bow puts the short stand. The boat turns immediately to head towards the ground.
The wave now gives the stern and is even more complicated to follow the ‘Bou Bizkaia’. After the fixed time of the third series, the boat stops so that the rowers take a respite and exchange impressions with their coach. “Come kids, on Sunday we are going to mess,” they point out from Las Tostas to see how well the session goes.
With the day hurrying his last hours of light, Urdaibai returns to Puerto to retrace the road. The faces are of effort, but also transmit satisfaction with the result of the session. Water work is over, but not the transfer of each training. The rowers must load everything again on the trailer to take it back to the hangar located on the opposite side of the dock. They also return to the race and, as they pass through the old port of the town, they receive the spirits of the people who are taking something on the terraces of the Benancio Nardiz dock. ‘Egurre Mutilak “https://www.elcorreo.com/” Leña Chaval’.
The film is repeated today and tomorrow. The ‘txos are aware of the difficulty of the company ahead, but are willing to hurry all the options to reign for the fourth consecutive campaign in the mother of all the regattas.
