About me
I started to practice Triathlon in the early 90s, having stopped around 1995. In 2012 I restarted to practice Triathlon, at the time my only goal was to become an ealthier person. As time went by and noticing my evolution as an athlete, I started to aim for other objectives.
In the past few years, Triathlon has been starting to stand out in Portugal, being considered the sport modality with the most growth, becoming a national reference.
In 2018 my ambition is to continue to claim my self as one of the best national Tri-athletes in my age group, to be present in the main national events and fight for podium in all triathlons. My goals in 2018 are: fight for the National Champion title in Triathlon (sprint and olympic distances), Aquathlon, Duathlon and Biatle; revalidate the Biatle World Champion Title; and to become more competitive in the Half Ironman distance
Main results: 1º na Taça de Portugal de Triatlo em Quarteira; 1º na Taça de Portugal de Triatlo em Esposende; 1º no campeonato nacional de Aquatlo (campeão nacional); 1º na Taça do Mundo de Biatle; campeão nacional de Biatle; 2º na Taça de Portugal de Triatlo em Oeiras; 3º no campeonato nacional de Triatlo Olímpico; 3º no Triatlo do Sabugal; 3º no Duatlo de Torres Vedras; 17º no ranking nacional de Triatlo (1º Veterano 1); 13º no ranking nacional de Duatlo (3º Veterano 1); 2º na meia maratona da Golegã; among others
Complementing the sports athlete area, I´m a Physical Education teacher in Alcanena and youth coach in Pedrogão Triatlo.
Besides defending athletic and personal integrity, I completly discard and condemn using doping and illegal substances.
The main values that guide me as an athlete and coach, are the ambition to win, resilience capacity, humblety and loyalty.
