During his first marathon preparation a friend of his running club suggested, that he might try Triathlon as it might be much better for his condition to try 3 different disciplines which could harm his body less and furthermore would be benefiting for his health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe history repeated again and I started with sprint races\u2026then Olympic distance\u2026half distance and in 2013 he took part in his first long distance race in Barcelona. He wanted to raise the awareness and visibility of the benefits of practicing sports with MS. \u201cAnd I wanted to show that suffering from multiple sclerosis does not necessarily mean to sit in a wheel chair\u201d, says Ramon.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3945 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.challenge-family.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ramon_arroyo_new-300x181.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"287\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For him Triathlon is more than race day itself. \u201cThe most fascinating part is the trip itself.
