All the races I decide to run have a meaning.

So I don't know which one is the most important in general,

I feel that everything has its importance in the minute that I am going to run it.

In other words, at the time, it was more important for me to run this sprint, which was the first one I ran.

Then it was when I ran my first Olympic which was for the

race that currently exists by the name Augustus.

Later in his minute it was Pucón.

I don't know, there is always a challenge of wanting to do more, cahcai?

And I feel that this thing of increasing distances was aimed at what

I am going to do now on May 27, which is what we talked about at some point, I think

that very banally, with Augusto, that one never thinks what is going to happen and you don't

you never put yourself in a situation that you will end up doing these things,

one sometimes talks about them and never develops them,

because for me every time I cross the finish line is special.

Every time I cross the finish line and I can, I have a canvas that is the one that I open, that has to

do with communicating that for me every time I cross the finish line there is an encounter with Augusto.

Here Feñita just arrived from the maternity hospital, just recently. And Augusto super cute

there, he was worried, if they are a year apart , I mean, imagine the bus.

There is.

There we are both. I love that photo, we look alike.

And here is the proof of what I say, Feñita her little legs there, Chilenita, and

the long Augu, fibrous there, but look, the same, the Feña is the same, the same, or not?

the same face.

And the stop and as a triathlete, but it's still there, light years away, I didn't know.

I love this photo, I love it, but just seeing it, I had no idea, but I loved it

because for a change you two there, the most gifted there is. And with the Cervelo because

Do you remember that it came from the United States? - The regalona.

Yeah, it was like oh, I don't know, the ecstasy when it came, I remember.

Yes, Agustito was there when I came, after he was born in Brazil, he is Brazilian.

As the son of a Brazilian, what do I know, at all costs he has to be a footballer. there it is

surely giving instructions that he had to fight for the ball and the whole thing.

This is the first glass of Augusto Scalon, in Papudo.

La Feñita, the first time you ran. - Yes, the Olympic.

The Olympic. - The coldest weá.

Well, my name is Fernanda Gabriela Scalon Tellez, I am 26 years old.

I am a producer, I work doing everything that has to do with events, from the

most basic to the most complex.

Triathlon is my hobby. that's where

I actually spend time and a lot.

Before, it was always sport in general and currently it continues

being the sport but now in these three modalities.

- Is it to arrive and install, or not? - Clear

- Or do you have to do something else in particular?

- No, I still have to come here to leave the other issues, to see the latest, that everything is fine.

- I'll just show you. Here.

- Shell of my mother.

- What is your name?

- Fernanda.

An Ironman is, I don't know, I think I'm not mistaken, it's the longest distance that exists in triathlon,

that takes place in a single day.

The Ironman is somewhat linked to the birth of the triathlon and with the passage of

Over the years the Ironman has become more popular. First, there were fewer crazy people

they were going to run this distance. Now there are more crazy people and I think many more people

many are encouraged, as a lifestyle, but above all I think it is a challenge

staff to complete those 3,800 meters of swimming, 180 kilometers of cycling

and 42 kilometers of jogging, all on the same day and in a non-stop test, because that

It's a bit like triathlon, swimming, cycling and jogging, but without stopping.

- If you can give us another round of applause. - Very well, one, two...

The Ironman unites you with what is significant in life, sometimes it is symbolism, dedicate it to it

to someone else, but it is a test of overcoming, it is a test of making a change of switch

between a before and an after, between the past and the future, between what is possible and what is

which is impossible.

It transforms your life, it closes a previous stage, it gives you a new opportunity, a

new opportunity in life. If you ask me , in short, for me the Ironman is to become

to give opportunities in life.

- Bonitos po.

How do you tell them?

- I think she is doing this for

her, but also on the other hand that she is doing it for Augusto. Her every time she crosses

the goal of a triathlon, in this case first an Ironman, or half marathon, she

He meets his goals, but it is difficult... an Ironman is difficult...

Feña is still not a methodical person like Augusto, that is, zero, she loves the reel.

I tell you super good, she is super happy, she is good for tuto, great to eat,

all things, antagonism, do you understand? of what it takes to be like this

very organized and very mateo on the subject of triathlon, but it has the essentials that I think is

needs in any sport or whatever you do, let's say, which is like a passion

from the heart, to enjoy it.

Imagine that I'm enjoying it, I can't even imagine how

does he enjoy it, cachai?, that is, a wave of I don't know, the people, the environment in general,

cachai? I mean the Expo, the bicycle, one gets 100% into everything. Being here has surpassed me

The expectations I had were so great that I can't even imagine how I'm going to have a good time in the race,

Yes, I don't know anymore.

- Did not sound.

My mom calls me bereta, because she says I was also part of your birth, so she has

My last name must be there, and there it is, Escalón Tellez.

- At dinner people talked about how to

people who ran an Ironman for the first time had one… is it here?

But it has nothing to do with… Is it just to know that it's our first time?

- Correct. The bracelet is beautiful, luckily she came to ask for it,

Ironman.

- What is it for?

- This is for first time running athletes.

- Excursion, the cross-country ride, with Augusto and Fernanda.

- Here you have to jump, here you have to jump. - oh! at medium risk, geez! How did she do it?

- Now we hear the cliff, which is as if there were no cliff, but is there, cachai?

- Yes Yes. - Here the report with Agusto Fernando.

- I am Fernanda Scalon and this is Augusto Scalon - So our report ends here,

it was a pleasure. - The Scalon brotherhood...

the younger takes care of the older.

My brother was always like a guide in many

things, not only in the triathlon, that is, many times things that he decided to do,

Well, I'm going because he's going. I felt that if he did it, if he went behind, he wouldn't go.

nothing to happen He started with the triathlon, that is, he started swimming

and then he began to get involved in this mix of discipline, and I went behind him, he left

swimming and I went swimming. He was running and I was running and he was riding his bike.

and I went riding a bike is always half copying him.

Augusto Scalon quickly joined the triathlon family, not only because of the

performances that he had as an amateur triathlete, which even sometimes in a race

nationals flirted with the first places and was a very calm but very happy person.

Very patient, very cheerful, very lively, too much. Very good companion, very good companion.

Augusto is not walking, he keeps jogging, he doesn't stop.

What are you doing dude?

get off the floor.

I brought you a glass of water, how are you doing, teacher?

- For the shit!. - Yeah?

- Uh, this guy happened to me! - Follow him dude, follow him! see you!

- You noticed that he was not a complicated person, but that he was a very simple person, humble,

I listened to you, happy, committed to what I was doing. The truth is that he was a very good guy Augusto.

- And what I remember of pleasure, well, not only his sports conditions that were quite remarkable,

were his conditions as a person, he was a healthy boy, light of blood,

good people, always smiling, super respectful. In fact, as an anecdote it touched me, I think

It took a couple of months to make him call me you, Augusto called me you at first,

It's that he was very goat, I don't know how old he was when he arrived.

I know a lot of people who treat you like you. Yes, I was talking about you, and I was calling you Augusto,

Cut it, it's about you, we're both triathletes.

"As you like". Of course, "as you want" he told me.

He was very respectful.

It was passion. You know what? she was enjoying herself too much, too much, too much. I think that what

Perhaps it led to being so good and that it went well for him was like living it with just a little passion,

cachai? there was no requirement, for him everything I developed was because he liked it

go swimming at 5 in the morning.

He was a kid who was like super loving, he went around with these issues of hugs

or questions like that. So it shocked me a bit because the truth is that I'm not

from hugs, I'm not one of greetings, I'm not so tight, and that's where it came to you and approached

no more cachai, and he would come and hug you and give you a kiss and you say “weon, run, why?

Why so much love?

Sometimes bringing together all these positive things that we have talked about him in a single person

is not easy. I think that made Augusto special,

Let's say. Sometimes you have good athletes, they generate some conflict in the environments that

They are, sometimes I have very good people who are not such good athletes. August

He was charismatic, he was light, he was a good person, he was well liked by everyone, he was a good sportsman,

had the discipline to stay in triathlon for many years and achieve good

results. I believe that this is a condition that seems

simple. But not everyone has it. And Augusto put it together, he put everything together in one

person, I think that was what was special about Augusto.

Augusto had a very optimistic energy,

"come on, you're going to make it", "if you want to be happy you can be, it's up to you",

That's the energy that optimistic people have , right? Never give up.

- Excellent! You already trained, now it's just fun. - That's the idea, right?

- The idea is that. The most difficult part is over, which was training.

- The hardest.

- You are going to go out there and you are going to enter the store

to change, you go out there to grab the bike.

- Alright.

Well, maybe tomorrow one will stick the cut, or not?

Weon, they are caleta.

Well, that's it. We left the bike there.

Nervous, I'm shivering, very nervous. This is like... I don't know, it's heavy, I don't know if at

This happens to the rest but I am quatic.

It makes me want to... everything itches. Brígido, me tomorrow, luckily, me always

I mean, luckily I don't go out into the water first, so it costs me less to get it out, because going out

first...

I decided it. Nobody forced me. Now I'm going to leave the bag.

Thank you so much.

- Good test.

- Thank you very much good night. - Good night.

- And the photo.

The photo with a face of nothing,

and one that says "more or less."

- Let's eat, and sleep. - Let's eat, I'm hungry, that's it, ready,

I can not anymore.

To this very excited Ironman, the universe doesn't want me to run this,

He doesn't want me to run this because I have a broken fork, leg injury,

knee, the room is raining, but it doesn't matter. We will arrive even if it is...

And here he jumped when he arrived.

And this other one that came across.

He came more excited.

And there when he crossed.

That one and that one, cachai that the galla is asking him "are you okay?" because Augusto was excited

because he had arrived and the whole thing, and the galla asked "are you okay?, do you need serum?"

and Augusto "yes, I'm fine, if I'm emotional no more", like "let me cry".

This is from Florianopolis.

He did his first Ironman at 24, which was what he wanted, after, let's say, being

immersed in the world of triathlon. You put on three years , two years and something, and it was enough for him

well and of course yes, he said, that is, I fulfilled my dream, I wanted to say run, at 24

years, do his first Ironman and he did it. So yes, it was part of his dream.

He ran the Ironman in Brazil, he did not have the performance, surely he was looking for, he was a person who

It should have been close to 9-30 because of the performance it had.

And we had been arriving from Florianópolis, which we ran in May 2014, obviously

go to rest for about a month of recovery, but on Friday Augusto told me that

on Saturday he was going to go pedaling, so he told me no, that he was super obfuscated, he was

super upset about his performance in Florianópolis because he had not been able to do a good cycling,

so that had him super angry, super stung and he wanted to pedal, he wanted to pedal

and he said "you know what? I'm going to leave the same on Saturday because I want to put 150 kilometers,

We didn't argue, but obviously I did give him my point of view, that we had just arrived,

that three weeks had passed, that it was a period of rest. I call you on Friday at

the night and I tell him let's go out on Sunday, he tells me I'm going out, I'm going out with Jorgito.

I cut him off and as never before that night I call him again and ask him "okay, perfect, but

tell me please where are they going to go out? How long are they going to pedal? are you sure they will be

150? Why don't we pedal better on Sunday because I also want to pedal? but we pedal

less. He tells me no, no, if we already confirmed with Jorgito.

Ya ok, perfect.

Starting that Saturday, Augusto returned,

let's say he went to say goodbye to me as always, "bye mommy", and he went to give me a kiss, clearly,

We were very fond of saying "we love each other" all the time, very affectionate and I

agreement because he had, he returned, then his nose was frozen, his nose was more or less

big girl and a kiss here on the forehead.

On those three occasions the mother asked

not to go out, that it was super dangerous, that it was drizzling like never before.

It is something that in general I do not like to remember much.

I have it a little removed from my life.

I was watching the Argentina game with someone

and Marcos Ottenhsimer called me. Marcos Ottenhsimer was Augusto's coach, at some point

the RPM team, and he called me on the phone and Fernanda says, where are you? and how are you?

And me, watching TV, what happened? like never

It occurred to me not even to think about anything and he told me oh, since I found out that

Augusto had an accident.

Fernanda Scalon called me telling me that Augusto had suffered an accident, and it was

normal, Augusto always suffered accidents, suddenly he crashed a car, ran over him

a car, but I never thought it was something so serious.

When they told me that I was on the way to Melipilla, the truth was that I was still playing double

reading, I thought, well, he's somewhere, he's in a hospital or whatever, but the

Truthfully, I understood that he had had an accident and nothing, he was super strong there,

As I told you, nothing, as well surreal, no... there are things that, I don't know, that you thought

wow, it could have been different, finding him there, let's say, and his slippers, and his things

On the road she is super strong, having to call Fernanda is also super strong.

Told me...

"Fernanda, Augusto is dead."

I couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe it. He told Fernando to please stop the car,

that I couldn't believe it.

It was terrible. In other words, from where we were to get to the place,

It seemed like an eternity, an eternity, an eternity.

Well, I never saw Augusto.

The last time I saw him was the day before.

That I am grateful to this day for having had that day, because we were together all day, like...

...I do not know.

In his last second of life, I don't know how

It must have been, but I know that he knew, let's say that... being loved, did you notice? Let's say that

Today I try, let's say, to live it that way.

The first thing we saw in the images, nothing, Augusto's bicycle, further back there

a plastic covering a body and in front of the camera was our windbreak

of the HP Team club. So for us it was strong, it was devastating. Without further ado,

I call George. "Jorge, where are you?, and he says to me "I'm lying down, why?"

But if you weren't going to pedal with Augusto? I tell him. And he tells me "yes, what happened is that he was

raining, it had rained all night and it was drizzling in the morning,

Augusto called me and I said no, I didn't prefer to go out because we could fall, etc., and Augusto came out the same”.

- There we see each other the same way out, yes, yes, yes...

- Now to enjoy?. - Yeah.

- You already did everything, now I have to enjoy. - Well, they all tell me the same thing, so

it's going to be just like that.

In any case, life has a reason, it has a meaning, it has an objective. The thing

is looking for what, cachai? In other words, for example, I began to question it much later

of what happened with Augusto. Augusto passed away at the age of 24, a very young person, very vital,

without any problem and that you say "why?" did you understand me or not?

And how can it be that you are a person who had nowhere to see that your end is

here? My sense of life now is to find meaning, cachai? I mean, it's worth it

every day. That it is worth it. If I set a goal that is worth that goal.

For me it does not fit and it does not fit in my head the fact of suffering such a strong break in my

life and that my life continues the same.

If Feña does do it for Augusto, but happy. In other words, there is no obligation

nor anything, nor is she condemned, nor does she have to do that, nor does she have to do that to maintain, no.

I think it's because he feels too close, too close, and it's his motivation.

She feels connected to Augusto. And I think that not only her, there are many people

who knew Augusto who have that connection, because I find that Augusto was a person

special, right? It had something special that the Greeks and Trojans liked, I don't know why.

And here I am, registered and very afraid, because I am not going to tell you that I am not afraid.

It's part of the challenge to overcome your fears, to overcome the past, to overcome somehow,

sometimes our own beliefs, of what is possible or not possible

The crises? yes, crises are present, a crisis sinks you, a crisis drowns you, a crisis

It doesn't let you see the future. When you have a huge crisis in your life, there is no future.

For me when Feña told me that she was going to run her first Ironman, the truth is that

It didn't bring me joy, all negative things. That's the truth, that's the truth, that's it

what it did to me. So, beyond the fact that she has all the energy, the desire

of wanting to run this race for all the reasons we know of, neither do I

I can let her run her if I don't see that she arrives well prepared.

The day of the race is not the most complicated. I feel that the most difficult thing is the period

prior training. Those four or five previous months where the important thing is to maintain

a routine, a discipline. Therefore I think it is a challenge not only for one day,

It is not a one day event, it is an event that lasts at least four or five months.

The effort that must be made is a lot, because no matter how little one trains, I doubt that

someone who wants to run an Ironman trains less than 14, 15, hours a week.

- Exactly. - In other words, there is no leisure time, the times

they are very very limited. So the real sacrifice, as Ricardo says, begins four

or five months before the Ironman and Oscar Galíndez already said it , the great triumph of the Ironman

It is not crossing the finish line, the most difficult thing is reaching the starting line.

In other words, the training process for an Ironman has been a roller coaster of emotions

heavy, heavy. I mean, there are training sessions that... I had to do my first pedaling alone afterwards.

about Augusto and it was super strong for me. She has had to do it very accompanied,

I have had to be surprised by what I have done because I feel that I don't know, I insist, if not

It was for this question, perhaps I would never have done this sport, for me this is

something very distant that is now part of my life, but then one frequently

is surprising what the body is capable of, what the head is capable of, here

a lot of head There are times that later you are surprised and say wow, I can't believe it.

She has shared with me, suddenly, in these funds that you make, of these

things about running for hours or riding a bike or what do I know, dammit, in the wind, in a

past, in a crossroads with someone, in a laugh, yes, she has found herself very close many times

to August. And I believe, without a doubt, that it is, did you notice?

Let's see, I started to train a lot because I felt that I connected a lot with him.

It happens to me a lot right now.

I think about him a lot in training, there are many times I regret not having done

this before. I think a lot of things in training, I feel that they make me think about a lot of things, one person,

of the life. Sometimes nothing, as one goes like this, you realize that after an hour without

think nothing and sometimes I thought a lot.

I really feel like it's like my minute where I feel like I connect with him a lot.

If you rescue that true mental coaching that means preparing for an Ironman,

you realize that any challenge you can do with the same skills. the iron man

trains you, trains you in skills, trains you in new skills and gives you

a rigor, an exquisite rigor to be able to undertake and do what you want. So, by

On the one hand, the Ironman is a healer of the past and allows you to close a chapter, but on the other hand,

another part opens doors to the future, teaches you that there is a possible future, that you were before

unable to even dream of it. From there, a new life opens up for you.

I don't know, I feel like it's from trying to find an answer. Well, maybe this will happen for

What did you think about this, did you understand it or not? Find the development of I don't know, of putting your body

to the limit.

The motivation for which one begins to play sports are infinite, but the motivation

why one does a great challenge has to do... Someone once told me that

It was like beating death, like seeking to twist the hand of destiny, like seeking to challenge oneself

himself into something that is not written.

- That when one has any type of suffering, the loss of a family member, of a friend, it is not

he was obese, alcoholic, drug addict, and he manages to get to the triathlon and that motivates you to be

better, to forget or to improve some things, but not as a challenge to meet within

one or two years a career and that is the top of Everest. Then, done, I'll hang up

the boots and I forget about sports. In the long run, when you stop doing this sport

that that other space is being filled, somehow you are going to have to fill it. So

yes, it is the triathlon that fills your space, make it measured gradually so that it is always

that vice in quotes that you have.

The motivations to do an Ironman each one answers. Giving it meaning is an element

repairman. The Ironman is written based on a ceremony. It has a whole series of protocols,

it has all sorts of preparation, it has all sorts of mantras that one repeats to oneself on the way to a race.

When you are at the starting point you are focused on you and the challenge you have

in front. Everyone is silent, everyone is self-absorbed, and everyone is

thinking about what's coming.

And what comes next is similar to a baptism, somehow getting into the process.

When the shot sounds you already know what you have to do and you can't go back.

If Augusto ran his Ironman, the fact that you are going to

swim in the same waters, pedal on the same road and run on the same land, cacahi?

And finally cross the same goal. For me the fact that

It's like running with him, only he arrived a little earlier.

Being able to relive everything that his brother experienced very shortly before Augusto left us.

It was the place where Augusto ran his last race , a month before his accident.

The same distance, the same place that Augustus did, being able to reach the same goal as

Augusto crossed and this time from the hands of Fernanda. In other words, it will also reflect all the effort

that she did, all the training that she did, the same training that Augusto did.

The bicycle is to move beyond what is expected. Reach points where you never thought you could reach.

It is to change course and somehow go further,

go beyond your borders, go beyond what is ordinary. 180 kilometers of crossing.

To this day I wonder why a lot, and I feel that it cannot happen in vain.

It can't be that your life continues the same as before.

I mean, I feel like...

...I still wonder "why?...

...sometimes I say, heck, why wasn't it me, cachai?

If when I compare myself with him,

I really feel like he was a much better person than me.

Wow, we stay here, cachai? So one tries to find meaning in many things.

One tries to find the meaning of, Well, if we stay here, what is it for?

It's like everyday to find some meaning. My life purpose is like that, on a day-to-day basis, mind you.

There it is, very here, very here now, it's hard to find meaning in life.

It costs a lot.

- The healing paths have that,

They have a process

they have a rhythm.

They have a decantation.

It is to cross a threshold.

And as if that were shortly after, you get the challenge of doing a marathon...

...where you feel like there are a lot of variables telling you “no more! Stop, stop, stop, stop!"

But there is something that is stronger.

When there is a clear purpose those pains, those aches,

those cramps, begin to be left behind. Liberation occurs when we cross the finish line.

I would love it to be here. I would love it to be. I know a lot of people tell me

No, but if he is, he is, well, I would love for him to be there physically.

Being able to face pain and move forward is to heal. And this type of ceremonies

As they are an Ironman, it allows you when you cross the finish line to cut,

prepare,

to thank,

and breathe again.

I know that it will arrive, that is, how? she's going to do it, let's say, that is, she can't have more heart.

He's going to make it.

He's going to make it.

Without that motivation I wouldn't be there.

Therefore she is running for two.

And that is something that an Ironman allows.

Running for you, running for many more.

Of her for the symbolic side of ending a cycle,

and of him for being her motivation.

If you can focus on your best,

if he manages to connect with his brother,

That which is there is going to be possible.

Because when she crosses the finish line she won't be alone.

He will be accompanying her

It's going to be a cross between the two.

That feeling of closing a process is unique.

I can't tell you what he's going to be feeling.

What I know...

...is that whatever you feel is going to be very healing.

Life goes on and then it's your choice, if you live it dark, crying, depressed or lead

the pain with you and transform it in the end, cachai?

It's not that I don't feel sorry,

It's not that I don't miss it, quite the contrary, I...

...every day I think of him.

I mean, there isn't one, and he's like my gasoline, cachai?

In short, if I am happy, completely happy? I think not.

There are many things where I lack him. Many.
