Pedro José Andújar, the absolute champion of the Ironman of Copenhagen, was received this morning at the Consistorial Palace by the mayor, Ana Belén Castejón, and the Councilor for Sports, Ricardo Segado, where they congratulated him for his recent victory in the Danish capital.

The cartagenero, monitor sports activities of the Department of Sports, indicated to be very happy with the samples of affection received and that he did not expect the news to have such an echo.

"Not being a very active person in social networks I have seen that many people followed the test and have really been glad of what has happened," said Andújar, whom the councilors have given him the emotion with which they lived the event precisely through the networks.

Now he is preparing for the last rendezvous of the season on October 22 in the Spanish long distance championship in Ibiza.

After this test he plans to rest for a couple of weeks and start working on the next project, which is to start his career as a professional.

To do so, you will have to look for sponsors to finance your participation in the world long and medium distance triathlon circuit.

Castejón has expressed "the satisfaction and the privilege of being able to count on a Cartagena of Narrow Well that has left the pavilion so high" and also both she and the Councilor of Sports have shown their support to make the triathlon more visible in Cartagena and "the trajectory of a great professional" that is worth following.

He also wanted to highlight his bravery his effort, his tenacity and "above all something that makes the champions very great is his humility.

For his part Segado has also expressed feeling "very proud of Pedro, who is also from the house, is a worker of the Department of Sports."

He also wanted to remember that the simple fact of completing an Ironman is already a feat, given that they are almost 4 kilometers swimming, 180 kilometers by bike and a little more than 42 kilometers running, so the fact of having won can be considered a feat.
