"
To face this test, which will be a total of 678 km between swimming, bike and race, you need physical and mental training, Aaron spends about two hours a day training, "I go to the sports gym adapted here in Chihuahua, they are pulley exercises, and especially many stretches and mobilizations so that the body does not atrophy, I also place myself on the standing table to improve the calcium in the bones and the flow of the blood, and of course it is much more mental training than the physical one because we know that living with a disability every day is not easy and you have to train a lot in that aspect and above all always see the positive things.
