This is ‘Chikorita’, a Mexican who won a 5-day career in Canada [Deportes] – 09/17/2019

Mexico City.- Alex Roudayna He travels the mountains alone, immersed in his world. Live with him Asperger syndrome, that's why he doesn't look at the other runners. He avoids them. He is not interested in talking with any of them. In her jogs she is accompanied by Joker and the echo of his laughter, tattooed on his skin. Also the cat of Cheshire and that phrase from the Queen of Hearts of Alice in Wonderland engraved on her left arm in the language of Shakespeare (she reads everything in English, since she was little): “My dear, here we must run as fast as we can , just to stay in place. And if you wish to go anywhere you most run twice as fast as that ”.She translates it for the reporter, like someone who recites something that is known by heart: “Dear, here we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place. And if you want to go anywhere, you must run twice as fast as that. ”

I forgot to say that Alex Roudayna is known as Chikorita, that Pokemon of the one who adopted the nickname and that “for many it was easier to pronounce it”, before the proper name. Nor did I say that she is Mexican and that in early September her image was multiplied in newspapers and social networks because she conquered the 150 kilometers of the TranSelkirks Run, in the Revelstoke Mountains in British Columbia, Canada. Chikorita accomplished the feat in a total of 18 hours and 43 minutes, surpassing her closest pursuer by more than three and a half hours. In fact, it was the second to finish the five-day test in both branches.

Traveling 150 kilometers is a feat. Now, imagine that it is in the mountains, with great chances of getting lost and withstanding ups and downs at a superhuman pace. Alex says he doesn't think about the race and less about the rivals – it doesn't matter if they are men or women. “The longer the distance, the more chance I have to connect with myself. On the mountain you disconnect from everything. ”

She likes to disconnect, create her own world with those beings who obsess her and repeat herself in her body as a tattoo. Like those faces of the Joker and the "HA HA HA" engraved on his left biceps. Also the smile of the cat that shines and disappears in the story of Alice in Wonderland, a product of the brilliant mind of that writer known under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll (will Chikorita know that her favorite writer also had Asperger's Syndrome ?)
