Therefore, regardless of the circumstances that will arise in the future in relation to my acceptance to take this test, I have already started my training with the sole purpose of completing it, since the physical preparation time for the UB515's colossal distances is essential, and time is gold.

- Because he wants to participate in the UB515: "For the challenge of the race and the particular challenge that these objects bring to our daily life, such as reconciling diversified activities, planning, determination, patience, financial organization, dreams and also inspired by challenges already carried out by other athletes in the more diverse sports, seeing how the human being can be fantastic. The search for new challenges, not necessarily related to distances ended up happening naturally as other challenges were being conquered and also as a way to vary and learn new sports modalities , as was the case with canoeing, mountain biking, which opened up new opportunities, in addition to social and new friendships. Over time, that is no longer small, since since the 80s when I started my walk in the world of sports , particularly Triathlon and swimming, I've been continuously putting challenges / bolder goals with distances and inclusions. new modalities. So, since 2006 with the realization of my first Ironman, this became an Ultraman, starting then to carry out running, swimming and cycling events in greater distances and close to those required in the Ultraman. So, in the opinion shared by the Sports Advisory (TOPSPORT) technicians, in terms of building a base over at least 20 years, I really believe that I already meet the conditions for the challenge posed and consciously the tests I have been doing have been forwarded for this. Here is a parenthesis that, if I am mistaken, Alexandre Ribeiro, when the possibility of bringing proof to the country was being verified. Regarding the aspect of why to participate in this event, in a more restricted and objective way, I believe that since it is in Brazil, this already facilitates the planning and training for participation, considering support, financial, climate, etc. issues. besides that, whenever possible, I like to collaborate with for the establishment of new races and modalities in Brazil, as recently, the participation in the Corta mato race. Concluding, from the experience, the desire to win challenges, strengthen sports competitions in Brazil and without presumption, who knows, maybe even serve as an example, I see, desire and long for my participation in this competition modality and it would be very good if this happened in my country. I would be grateful and very happy if I got the opportunity and the confidence to allow me to take the test."
