100 The dream of a world marathon record... in regional dress El sueño de un récord mundial de maratón… en traje regional Este es Nando y tenía un sueño: correr su primer maratón y batir el récord del mundo… vestido de traje regional. Con atuendo fallero. Un reto harto complicado: “Las medias me destrozaban las uñas, el viento me inflaba la camisa, el chaleco me pesaba, la faja me apretaba y el calor, con el pañuelo, se me estaba matando…”, reconocía al cruzar la meta. La verdad es que su sonrisa no transmitía ese sufrimiento. Al contrario. Más bien, destilaba orgullo de correr por una buena causa, por una asociación de afectados por la dana. Siempre con Valencia en su corazón, vive en Salamanca y allí entrenó con capas y capas de ropa para simular un traje de fallero en su cuerpo… No era lo mismo. En cuanto al récord… no lo logró. Se quedó a un minuto. Pero sí, esa plusmarca de Récord Guinness también vive aquí, en la Ciudad del Running. Cómo no. This is Nando, and he had a dream: to run his first marathon and break the world record for running a marathon dressed in regional costume. The one worn during the Valencian Fallas festival. A really difficult challenge: “My socks were rubbing my nails, the wind was blowing my shirt up, my vest was heavy, my belt was tight and the heat, with the scarf, was killing me...”, he admitted as he crossed the finish line. Although, the truth be told, his smile did not give any idea of what he had been suffering. On the contrary, it exuded pride in his running for a good cause, for an association that helps people affected by the flooding. He always carries Valencia in his heart, even though he lives in Salamanca, where he trained wearing layers and layers of clothing to simulate a fallero costume... However, it wasn't the same. As for the record... he didn't get to set a new one. He was one minute off. Although the Guinness World Record is, in fact, held by someone who ran here, in the Ciudad del Running. How could it not be so?
