It will not be the first time that I will be surprised to have visited a country but…<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I have to say that perhaps my experience would not have been so incredible if I had not had friends<\/strong> in advance in the country. Oshra<\/a> and Tzuf made my arrival a marvel, everything fixed<\/strong> from the beginning; house, bike, brief explanation of buses (bus for others) to take, places to visit, places where eating<\/strong> or shopping, what to do <\/a>and what not to do…<\/p>\n

\"1-2\"\"1-4\"\"1-3\"<\/p>\n

My first 10 days<\/strong> in Israel<\/a> were, in short, discovering, training hard in the gym and going to the cable to get used to it. The bad thing about not waking up every day is that every time I go back to the cable I have stiffness that is not even normal, so I decided to come to Tel Aviv<\/a> with time to do things little by little.
\nI visited the different markets<\/strong> and toured the city by bike…<\/strong> Here everyone uses electric bikes, go, like a motorcycle but on a bike heh, heh. And don’t try to catch the bus<\/strong> at random… It’s all written in Hebrew…<\/p>\n

\"2-2\"\"2-1\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The truth is that the food<\/strong> seemed like a blast here. Sure, I guess it depends on where you go but in general it eats pretty healthy. I recommend you try the Humus,<\/strong>the Shashuka,<\/strong>the sabich<\/strong> and the tahini.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"2-3\" \"comida-1\"\"comida-3\"\"comida-4\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We also went to visit the Dead Sea<\/a>… What a pass!!, of course it is a place that must be visited yes or yes. You can describe the feeling a thousand and one times… But nothing like feeling it:<\/p>\n

\"dead-sea-1\"\"dead-sea-2\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I arrived on the 5th and until the 16th the Spanish Team<\/a>did not arrive. From while meeting a lot of people at
\n Lake TLV,<\/a>
\n<\/strong>the cable where the championship was made. All the staff <\/strong>were super nice to me from the beginning… The tension of the cable is wonderful, the obstacles a pass… If you can visit the cable<\/a> do not hesitate.<\/p>\n

\n

The truth is that I was nervous<\/strong> during the 10 days before everyone arrived. But once the other teams arrived, it was as if my brain realized that the action was really going to start,<\/strong>that this was happening was real,<\/strong>yes Julia yes, you are in theEuropean Championship of Wake!<\/a><\/p>\n

Before the competition started I went with Julia from Austria to see Jerusalem<\/a> and the truth is that it shocks a lot to see so many cultures and religions<\/strong> living together in such a small<\/strong>space. There’s a pretty weird energy out there but it’s a must-visit place, 100%.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"jerusalem\"\"jerusalem1\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

September 23<\/strong>. The day came. The day of demonstrating I do not know very well the what, that … maybe what I am worth for this?
\nI woke up very early, \"comp-2\" <\/strong>about 6 a.m I was already awake and could not sleep<\/strong> anymore although I had to compete at 12. I was super nervous,<\/strong>getting breakfast was a challenge. My hands were shaking<\/strong> and the food tasted super strong, more than usual (I guess because of the adrenaline??).
\nThe grades<\/strong> did not go quite as I expected, I entered the water much more nervous than I would have liked. It still helped me qualify directly for the final!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\n

After having participated in the qualifications<\/strong> I felt that I had taken 50kg off my shoulders, suddenly I was super at peace,<\/strong>super calm…<\/strong> I missed that feeling…
\nThat of taking a risk and that it goes well.<\/h4>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\n

The final. To<\/strong>There was coach<\/strong> I\u00f1aki from the OCP<\/a> and Telma’s Dad, Xavi to support me. My mother who would have been me if they hadn’t been there next to me…<\/strong>I was made a flan! and, The final was a pass!!, they made us a presentation round that<\/strong> made me feel like a superstar…<\/strong> I guess not many knew that a kiter had sneaked into the final of the European Absolute Wake<\/strong>… jiji
\n\"comp-3\"<\/p>\n

My first round<\/strong> went perfectly.<\/strong> Everything I wanted to do came out and when I finished<\/strong> it I burst into tears, with happiness.<\/strong> And to suddenly release all the pressure and tension. It was as if I had fulfilled my mission.<\/strong> I had practically given my best!
\nFor the second round I had planned to throw myself into the pool, <\/strong>that is, to get all my best tricks even if I knew that I did not always iron them (and more after almost tearing my shoulder with one of them). But I wanted it to be noticed<\/strong> that he had come here to give it his all.<\/strong> That I was not going to settle for 6th position without having given everything and more.<\/p>\n

I fell after 2 obstacles in the first airtrick.<\/p>\n

\"comp\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I go home super happy<\/strong> but chopped, with a half-bittersweet<\/strong> feeling despite, apparently, having made history in the Spanish wake being the first woman<\/strong> to get into the Final of Open Ladies<\/a> <\/strong> in a European. I know that I can do better, that by training and dedicating myself a little more<\/strong> I can be up there… That this year I did not do even 2 months of wake! So… Wanting more.<\/strong> Much more!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Without further ado,<\/strong> thank you to my sponsors<\/a> and everyone who was part of this experience, especially LAKE TLV<\/a> <\/strong> and all their staff for making me feel at home(Ronix<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong> for my new boots and North Kiteboarding<\/a> <\/strong>for being so awesome!)<\/p>\n

PS: Congratulations to Gala Heras<\/strong> for her 5th place in wakeboard Junior Ladies and Telma Chester<\/strong> for her Junior European Runner-up with only 11 years!<\/p>\n

THANK YOU\/ THANKS\/ DANKE\/ TAK\/ ALL!<\/h1>\n
