[ summer bishil / cis woman / 28 ] ❛ from over the ocean far lucía mendoza has come from the curse of atlantis to sail upon the fortuna. LUCÍA is known as the icarian on board, fitting considering they are quite sharp & audacious. Supposedly that’s why the captain chose HER to be her gunner. ❜

( tw: death, kidnapping, indentured servitude implication )

i. aditi kanwar is meant for a gilded life, but fate deals her a wretched hand instead. kidnapped from a port city in hindustan by portuguese merchants, she goes into the hands of the spanish, and from there to a spanish landowner in veracruz. they strip of her name and her beliefs, her language and her identity; they baptize her maria elena juárez and think they are doing her a favor.

ii. with the landowner’s death some years later comes her emancipation, and she marries a mexican fisherman who treats her as if she holds all the stars in the sky. they have one daughter, lucía violeta, and they are content. maria elena never talks much about her life before lucía and her father, but lucía has gleaned this: her mother was the daughter of mughal nobility, and too much was stolen from her. piracy, in a way, is orchestrating revenge for her mother against her captors.

iii. wealth is most often in the hands of those with power and privilege, and lucía’s family has neither. she feels this is unjust — they could have more, they could be rich, but the ruling spaniards of new spain will not let them. how dare they decide some are lesser than others? perhaps if she’d stayed, she would have joined a rebellion, but fate leads her to the sea instead.

iv. when both her parents die within a few years of each other ( her mother from illness and her father from drink and grief ), lucía goes to live with her aunt. she doesn’t stay for long — she’s more a servant there than an adopted daughter — but she doesn’t marry to be free of them, either. she meets a sailor at the docks of veracruz, a young, idealistic captain-in-the-making. she’s half in love with him, more in love with the sea, and enamored with the idea of escape; just days before her eighteenth birthday, she leaves everything she knows behind to join him. she learns he’s a pirate once they’re far from shore, but it matters little to her.

v. as the years pass, her lover becomes captain of his own vessel: the chalchiuhtlicue, named for the aztec goddess of the waters & patroness of navigation. the two and their crew wreck havoc on merchant ships from the old world, pilfering their goods and treasures for their own. when they pull into port, she’ll sometimes give to those who have less; had she chosen differently that day on the cusp of adulthood, that could’ve been her with a stagnant life and too many mouths to feed.

vi. she’s a quick study, taking well to sailing and even better to a pistol and cutlass. she makes up for her petite stature and build with agility and aim, and has learned to man a cannon with ease after years at sea. she picks up other languages, as well — aside from her mother tongue, spanish, she learns portuguese, french, and english from the mixed crew. lovely, little lucy, their navigator calls her, and lucía laughs at that. she might be a beauty, a pretty little thing, but there’s nothing lovely about her. she’s as cutthroat as her blade; the world can be merciless and the world is unfair, so she’ll make sure to strike first.

vii. an irreparable argument between her and her captain lover causes her to leave for the curse of atlantis. the separation had been coming for the past few months, and the end result is explosive. but when one chapter ends, another begins; his ship isn’t the only one. in fact, she doesn’t need him at all — only the sea, the promise of treasure, and another crew.

viii. the gleam of treasure is a temptress indeed, and lucía always looks towards bigger and better. captain biyu encompasses exactly that, with her formidable reputation and quest for something beyond their wildest dreams. with a handful of others from the atlantis crew, she’s quick to join fortuna as a gunner. ( say what you will about her loyalty, but no one can deny she’s a bold sailor, an excellent shot, and a storm in a woman. )

stats.

personality & etc

languages spoken: spanish, nahuatl, portuguese, english, french

she’s clever, but dauntless, too; she’s not one to shy away from an unknown route or the clashing of swords. her audacity had led her to foolish decisions in her youth, but she’s sharper now. shrewder. test her and you’ll find her ruthless, for if the world gave you nothing, shouldn’t you go out and take what you want for yourself?

selfish & looks out for herself first and foremost, will not hesitate to save her own ass before anyone else’s. however, if you do have her loyalty & trust, you will have someone willing to go through hell and back for you. she might not die for you, but she’ll certainly kill for you.

the sea is where she feels freest, unburdened by the shackles of societal roles and preconceived notions. she’s here for the adventure, too — the promise of discovering the unknown, of not living quietly.

vivacious and bold, has no problem striking up conversations with strangers. comes off as gregarious and open with a certain charm about her, and isn’t much for sugarcoating. says what she wants, when she wants.

highkey anti-monarchy, anti-authority, and anti-establishment.

free-spirited, chaotic neutral

here for a good time not a long time

despite her devil-may-care attitude, she’s driven, tenacious, and isn’t afraid of hard work or getting her hands dirty.

previously a gunner on atlantis, still a gunner on fortuna — it’s her niche. she’d like to be captain or have a higher position one day, but rn she’s not here for the responsibility.

plots

ride or dies

drinking / gambling buddies

partner-in-crime

ex-lovers ; did they end on good terms? bad terms? still friends? unresolved feelings? hate each other now? gimme that angst potential too !

will they won’t they

flirtationship

opposites attract kind of friendship — maybe someone who’s softer, quieter, or more brooding; it doesn’t seem like they’d get along, but somehow it works !

“i hate your guts but we can’t stop seeking each other out anyway” kind of shit, sexual tension can be included

flings, hook-ups, fwbs — she’s v open to casual things

someone to take under her wing, she is a horrible influence

protective rlship ?? pls i’m a sucker for these, can go both ways

confidant !!

mentor figure

rivals

friends

frenemies

enemies

someone who tries to pull her away from bar fights

someone she gets into bar fights with

strong mutual dislike paired with begrudging respect & working together for the sake of the ship

someone to better her reading/writing skills ig. she’ll probably be a terrible student.

La révolution bolivarienne devenue impossible à soutenir, la « quatrième transformation » mexicaine offre de nouveaux espoirs au chef de La France insoumise. 

_Par Claire Meynial _

Il y aura passé deux semaines, à un « rythme de campagne électorale », de son propre aveu sur son Vlog (blog vidéo). En visite au Mexique, Jean-Luc Mélenchon n'a pas chômé. Prévue en décembre pour la prise de fonction du président Andrés Manuel López Obrador, « AMLO », elle avait été repoussée à cause des Gilets jaunes. Au programme : des conférences où il a été accueilli en rockstar, des découvertes (ou redécouverte, pour la maison de Léon Trotski à Mexico) culturelles, un déplacement à Tijuana, à la frontière avec les États-Unis, une visite au Sénat, une rencontre avec AMLO... Le tout dûment documenté sur son blog L'Ère du peuple. Mais pourquoi au juste ? « Qu'est-ce que je fous là ? Pourquoi l'Amérique latine ? Parce que c'est le seul endroit du monde où il y a eu une rupture avec le néolibéralisme », y explique-t-il. AMLO est issu du parti de gauche Morena. « J'ai discuté avec Jean-Luc Mélenchon, chef du mouvement La France insoumise, a tweeté le président mexicain en légende d'une photo où ils se serrent la main. Outre nos convergences politiques, je n'oublie pas que lorsque nous étions dans l'opposition, dans des circonstances différentes, il a montré beaucoup d'intérêt à me parler lors de ma visite à Paris. »

Même émotion du côté du Français, admiratif et un brin envieux, dans le premier épisode vidéo de son voyage. À tel point que se glisse un « on » internationaliste dans ses propos : « Ici, on a gagné l'élection présidentielle avec 54 % dès le premier tour, ils ont fait 30 millions d'électeurs… C'était sa troisième candidature, il lui a fallu une constance et une force de caractère absolument géantes pour faire ces trois campagnes. Surtout que, en cours de route, ils ont perdu de nombreuses élections locales et on me racontait comment c'était quand ils n'avaient plus rien. Plus un rond, plus une position élue, plus un député, plus un sénateur, plus rien. » Mélenchon, lui, comptabilise deux tentatives, en 2012 et 2017. À bon entendeur… Aux journalistes de La Jornada, quotidien de référence de la gauche, il dit : « Je suis venu pour respirer, connaître ce monsieur AMLO qui m'intéresse tant, apprendre de ce processus mexicain, qui va sûrement donner une nouvelle impulsion en Amérique latine et en Europe. Je viens chercher l'inspiration et un peu d'optimisme. » Un baume après la gifle des élections législatives, « point d'interrogation gigantesque ». Il leur parle de la gauche morte en Europe. De ses doutes : « Je suis un intellectuel qui, sur un malentendu, dirige un mouvement de masse. Parfois, je me dis : Je vais descendre du train, j'en ai assez de ce voyage, je n'en peux plus ! » De son monde dont il ne reste « plus une pierre », le bloc socialiste de l'Est.

Espoir colombien

L'admiration de Mélenchon pour l'extrême gauche latino-américaine n'est pas nouvelle. En 2012, il avait suivi la dernière campagne de Hugo Chávez au Venezuela et écrit sur son blog de longs textes (effacés depuis) où il s'émerveillait de la popularité du Comandante. Le 16 juillet 2012, dans un post intitulé « No volverán », slogan révolutionnaire vénézuélien, il racontait « l'ouragan bolivarien », une manifestation en faveur de Chávez. « Sur les trois kilomètres du trajet, une foule compacte hurla sans discontinuer… Jamais je n'avais vu une telle ferveur politique se concentrer de telle façon dans les corps et les visages. À mi-chemin, je m'aperçus que j'avais le visage en larmes. Le saisissement, l'effroi sacré qui nous habitait est un moment qui n'a pas ses mots pour le décrire raisonnablement. » Il s'était également rendu au Forum de São Paulo, fondé par Fidel Castro et Lula da Silva en 1990, qui réunit les partis d'extrême gauche du continent, dont Morena, le parti d'AMLO. Il regrettait alors la défaite « du candidat de la gauche unie » au Mexique : « Andrés Manuel López Obrador a été l'objet d'une campagne systématique de dénigrement et de calomnies par les chaînes de télévision et la grande presse. Son extrémisme populiste, son caractère agressif, ses goûts politiques dangereux, son amitié pour Chávez et Cuba ont été abondamment et méthodiquement dénoncés. Comme c'est original ! »

Mélenchon a aussi porté son espoir sur la Colombie, lorsque Gustavo Petro, candidat de l'extrême gauche, s'est présenté à la présidentielle en 2018. Avant le premier tour, le 28 mai, il avait envoyé une vidéo de soutien : « Nous savons que c'est d'Amérique du Sud que sont venus les messages les plus réconfortants pour l'humanité. Mes amis colombiens, vos votes vont adresser un message à toutes les consciences éveillées du monde qui cherchent un chemin pour la suite de la civilisation humaine. Au moment où vous prendrez votre décision, pensez à nous tous dans le monde qui avons besoin de vous. » Las, Gustavo Petro, ancien guérillero et ami de Hugo Chávez, a perdu devant Iván Duque, candidat d'extrême droite et dauphin d'Álvaro Uribe, en grande partie, justement, parce que les Colombiens ont été effrayés par les conséquences de la Révolution bolivarienne à l'œuvre chez le voisin vénézuélien. La gauche sur le continent accumule les revers : Petro défait, Lula da Silva au Brésil en prison pour corruption, Dilma Rousseff destituée, Daniel Ortega au Nicaragua agrippé au pouvoir au prix de massacres de civils, Nicolás Maduro à l'origine d'une crise politique et économique majeure au Venezuela… AMLO représente donc un recours inespéré. Aux yeux de Mélenchon, il a le bon goût de ne pas avoir reconnu Juan Guaidó comme président par intérim du Venezuela, se distanciant ainsi des onze membres du Groupe de Lima (les deux autres contestataires étant le Guayana et Sainte-Lucie) qui appuient le jeune président de l'Assemblée nationale. Le Mexique veut se poser en médiateur de la crise vénézuélienne. Le nouveau héros de la gauche latino-américaine a pourtant ses failles. Cédant aux injonctions de Donald Trump qui le menaçait d'imposer des taxes sur ses produits s'il ne diminuait pas le flux de migrants entrant aux États-Unis, il vient de placer des gardes nationaux à sa frontière nord, avec le grand voisin, et au sud, avec le Guatemala, ce qui aurait provoqué une diminution de 30 % des arrivées aux États-Unis. Mélenchon s'est donc livré à un exercice d'équilibriste. « Je le vois très ferme, très tranquille... Il ne veut pas entrer dans le jeu de la conflictualité, les provocations du FMI, des gringos, de Trump ou des migrants, » a-t-il affirmé à la sortie de son entretien avec AMLO.

Place, donc, à la révolution mexicaine. Au Sénat, Mélenchon a exhorté le président du Bureau, Martí Batres Guadarrama et des sénateurs de Morena : « Les Mexicains ont une responsabilité immense, parce qu'ils ont initié la quatrième transformation… Nous avons besoin qu'elle réussisse, parce que sinon on va encore dire qu'on ne peut rien changer. » La première transformation, soulèvement armé, mena à l'indépendance vis-à-vis de l'Espagne en 1821. La deuxième, entre 1858 et 1861, opposa libéraux et conservateurs et engendra les lois de la réforme, dont la séparation de l'Église et de l'État. La troisième, entre 1910 et 1917, « La Révolution » contre le régime de Porfirio Díaz, donna lieu à la Constitution actuelle. L'idée de lancer la « quatrième transformation » ne se distingue donc pas par sa modestie, selon certains observateurs mexicains qui estiment que ce genre de titre est décerné, a posteriori, par les historiens. Le projet est d'en finir avec la corruption, d'instaurer un pouvoir économe et décentralisé, d'aider les zones rurales, de lancer des programmes sociaux. Il pourrait aussi favoriser le présidentialisme. Récemment, AMLO a poussé une loi restreignant le droit de manifester. Les députés ont aussi approuvé une loi d'expropriation en cas d'entrée dans un immeuble en travaux. En Amérique latine, ce genre de mesure est chargé de symbolique politique. L'expropriation a été largement appliquée dans les années 2000 par Chávez au Venezuela et figurait au programme de Gustavo Petro, ce qui a fait frémir ses opposants. Dans son blog, Mélenchon prend les devants : « Il y a une campagne qui montre que le Mexique est en train de devenir une cible. On l'a vu dans la presse en Europe, avec El País, mais aussi aux États-Unis avec le New York Times et en France avec Le Monde… Et ici, en Amérique du Sud, aussi… Le Mexique est entré comme cible dans la machine mondiale qui sert à discréditer le Venezuela, Cuba et toutes les expériences, tous les gouvernements qui essaient de faire autre chose que du néolibéralisme. »

« Le Mexique ne sera pas mon modèle »

Pour le reste, le « compañero Jean-Luc Mélenchon », comme il a été présenté à l'Institut d'études politiques du parti Morena, à Veracruz, a adopté sur la migration une position nettement plus tranchée que celle qu'il présente en France. « Chez nous, le thème de l'immigration vient bousculer des habitudes, des manières de voir le monde. Aux États-Unis, non », justifie-t-il sur son blog. Dans un espagnol fleuri (à cause du décalage horaire, qui fait oublier les mots en espagnol mais aussi en français, s'excuse-t-il dans une vidéo), il a dénoncé : « On ne peut pas traiter un fait de cette nature, d'une telle ampleur, avec des méthodes si barbares et si stupides, fondamentalement, que construire un mur en pensant que les gens ne vont pas passer. Parce qu'ils vont passer ! En mourant, en souffrant, mais ils passeront. Et donc, la vraie question, c'est comment nos sociétés sont capables ou non d'accueillir [au lieu du verbe « acoger » – « accueillir » –, il utilise le verbe « coger », « prendre », et qui en Amérique latine, signifie « prendre » au sens sexuel, NDLR] ceux qui viennent, de les intégrer. » À Tijuana, il a parcouru un poste frontalier et est allé jusqu'à la barrière métallique qui sépare la ville de San Diego, en Californie, « le symbole de la violence de l'Empire ». « Le cimetière qu'est devenue la Méditerranée est moins parlant que ce mur abject avec ses barbelés, ses rasoirs et les traitements brutaux de l'un et l'autre côté de la frontière », estime-t-il sur une vidéo.

Question de point de vue, tout comme cette curieuse compassion pour le narcotrafiquant El Chapo (Mélenchon a apprécié la série sur Netflix), emprisonné aux États-Unis : « Comme c'est un criminel, tout serait permis à son sujet. Bah non, nous, on vit pas les choses comme ça. On pense qu'un être humain, même criminel, il y a des limites dans les mauvais traitements qu'on lui inflige. Là, il est tout seul, il a une fenêtre qui fait, je crois, 15 centimètres de large, pour que la lumière arrive, il ne voit pas le ciel et il a un banc fixe, une table fixe, etc. » Des préoccupations dont il n'a pas fait montre pour les opposants enfermés et torturés au Venezuela. Sur son blog, il s'énerve déjà : « On dit : C'est votre modèle, le Venezuela ! Ça m'énerve… Bien sûr que non ! Toutes ces expériences ne peuvent pas être des modèles. Parce qu'aucun n'est reproductible… Le Mexique n'est pas mon modèle, ne sera pas mon modèle. AMLO n'est pas mon modèle. » Pas plus que lui, cependant, il n'a jugé opportun de se rendre à l'édition 2019 du Forum de São Paulo, qui se tenait à Caracas au même moment.

I can't help it. I have to add some because Marco is my son.

Some of this is from a Caps Lock-invested chat with Slushee so whoops

Ever since Marco starts visiting the Rivera family, a certain female cousin of Miguel's is showing signs of infatuations towards Marco. But the thing is Marco just doesn't get it. You have Rosa Rivera, the family's fusion of Mamá Imelda and Tía Victoria with a hint of Tío Berto's sass and tendency to roast in a 13-year-old body crushing on a painfully oblivious boy who is too invested in his art and hanging out with his new best friend to even notice her advances.

Although Marco doesn't notice this (until nearly a year later after a text from Miguel and this "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face" moment back in his own room at three a.m. on a weekend), Miguel and Abel are in the background wondering whatever sin had they done in the past to be punished by seeing her acting all "icky and gross", as quoted by Benny and Manny who are convinced by Abel that she has "the pink bug".

He once defined love to Rosa like how Schroeder from Peanuts defined love to Lucy in "Play It Again, Charlie Brown".

No, seriously. Marco Veracruz is THAT BAD with girls (and boys who seem to admire him as well). He once greeted the girls at the plaza with the classic De La Cruz charm (a smile and a wink) but didn't notice the way they were swooning at him.

Marco loves, loves, LOVES "Loving Vincent" and other art movies or movies with unique visuals. He bought nine copies of the DVD (plus a DVD player for each DVD) for each dead member of the Rivera family and for Ernesto ("He may be a horrible person but if it weren't for him, would I be here?").

Ever since his "disgraceful" stunt, whenever he is asked to play a song, unless Miguel or anyone in the Rivera family plays along with him, he will play like a pro but also extremely robotic and stiff. And never with a smile.

Despite being awkward at first, he later feels comfortable enough to open up and talk about his problems to the Rivera family. He especially loves talking to Enrique, once even accidentally calling him "Papá" after a heartfelt talk one summer night.

He loves and hates spicy food at the same time. Thus he always has milk wherever he goes.

But since Miguel later grows a foot taller than him, Miguel ALWAYS teases him about how none of that milk went to his bones.

Marco sees Miguel as not only as a best friend but also a brother he never knew needed until their performance in camp (as seen in Sonance). Miguel entering his life is a start of a new book in Marco Veracruz's life: a life filled with the things and people that he loves to the moon and back.

Marco for the headcanon meme?

Headcanon A:  [realistic] He really enjoys drawing; he has a whole collection of blank sheet music with little doodles of the things he sees on the road. When he’s enrolled in school for the first time–the autumn after his “disgraceful” music program stunt–he falls in love with his art class and, with a little goading from his maestra and Miguel, he starts pursuing it seriously. He makes friends in his class, and for the first time, he sees a possible life course that doesn’t involve music at all.

Headcanon B: [hilarious] The first time Marco plays futbol is a disaster. He trips over the ball, winds up with a mouthful of grass, and ends up breaking his nose when he tries to headbutt the ball like he’d seen on TV. And yet, when he gets to Urgent Care, he can’t stop telling the nurse taking care of his nose how he’d helped his team get a goal. No, he didn’t get the goal himself, he sucked. But he sucked so bad that it distracted the other team.

Headcanon C: [heart-crushing]  Marco’s essentially his family’s main source of income. The Veracruz family has always been a family of performers, and initially Marco ran the same route the other young Veracruzes did–a cute kid in a little charro suit strumming out one of the easier De la Cruz songs. But he had an undeniable charm and easy stage presence from his first time on stage, and his parents saw an opportunity to nurture that and essentially make a second Ernesto de la Cruz.

By the time he was eight, he was the headliner for the Veracruz family Ernesto de la Cruz tribute concerts; by the time he was 10, he was a national sensation, noted for his surprisingly mature interviews and dedication to his craft. His whole life is dedicated to performing and doing his best in every performance to uphold the family name and keep them living the lifestyle they’ve become accustomed to.  To say it’s a lot of stress on him is an understatement.

The year following Miguel’s announcement that Ernesto de la Cruz is a fraud is the worst year in Marco’s life. The news about de la Cruz himself doesn’t phase him–several of his cousins are De la Cruz scholars and this sort of thing’s been whispered about for ages–but he wasn’t expecting the aftermath to be so devastating. He wasn’t expecting shows to get cancelled, and he wasn’t expecting everyone to call him a fraud. He works hard, he plays better than just about anyone, and people are saying he’s a fake? People leave awful comments on his social media pages. He gets tagged in every article tearing down De la Cruz. While Brigida does her best to hide the worst letters he gets, he still knows what they say.

Liar.

Cheater.

Fake.

As if he chose this life. As if he wanted to be seen by his parents as just something shiny to put on whatever stage they could. As if he wanted to have the drawings he’s made tossed aside for another guitar lesson and the people who could have been his friends shooed away because “There’s no time for playing right now, mijo, you have to practice.” 

The responsibility he’s been shouldering since he was eight years old–to perform well and make his family happy by upholding the De la Cruz legacy–is crumbling, and he feels like he’s crumbling right along with it. So, really, is it that out of line for him to hate that Rivera kid?

Headcanon D: [unrealistic, but I DO WHAT I WANT] In the unlikely event that Marco winds up cursed and in the land of the dead with the Riveras, he adores Imelda. His whole life’s full of stern women, so that aspect of her is comfortably familiar, but the unabashed love she shows her family is what he finds so wonderful about her. (He feels the same way about Elena when he visits, and after seeing her granddaughter shower the De la Cruz boy with love last Dia de Muertos, Imelda figures it’s for the best she treats him like she would a Rivera–though she notes that he is much better behaved and polite than most Riveras *cough*Miguel*cough*.)

Omius, a revolução tecnológica que subiu à cabeça dos triatletas

O alerta de um colega de um site espanhol especializado em triatlhon trouxe de volta à memória algumas imagens daquelas que, como um raio captam nossa atenção, mas, como a chuva no asfalto, logo depois se evaporam. “Você sabe do que se trata a faixa Omius?” Juanjo nos perguntou. E é claro que sabíamos, mas esse acessório curioso se perdeu no caminho desde o último Mundial de Ironman, em outubro de 2019, em Kona, até os dias atuais.

A verdade é que no Havaí, além das notáveis vitórias de Jan Frodeno e Anne Haug, os que acompanharam a transmissão ao vivo do evento se depararam com um acessório chamativo, estranho e brilhante que muitos dos melhores triatletas do mundo usavam na cabeça,entre eles figuravam a própria ganhadora Haug, Lucy Charles, Timothy O’Donell e Sebastian Kienle.

O retorno à competição em 2020, atualmente interrompida por razões da epidemia do coronavírus, parece ter marcado o uso massivo da faixa Omius, já que vimos alguns dos triatletas brasileiros mais reconhecidos usando o acessório, como o amador Rafael Brandão, que venceu o Ironman 70.3 Bariloche usando a coroa brilhante, e também o profissional Fernando Toldi, que venceu o GP Extreme dias atrás.

Mas antes que alguns dos melhores atletas do país usassem a Omius Band em suas competições, obtendo performances incríveis, fizemos um teste no Triathlon Internacional de Santos, em que as temperaturas altas serviram como um desafio perfeito para entender quão bem funciona essa invenção revolucionária dentro do esporte de alta performance.

No entanto, é necessário explicar previamente o que é a faixa Omius, de onde vem e quais são suas principais funções. Para isso, conversamos com Gustavo Cadena, o cérebro e criador dessa tecnologia que ajuda atletas de alto rendimento em temperaturas extremas.

“A visibilidade que tivemos em Kona foi impressionante. Tivemos que aumentar nossa produção em três vezes e ainda não conseguimos lidar com o volume de pedidos, tivemos que remarcar algumas entregas ”, explicou o mexicano, que estudou Engenharia Física no Tecnológico de Monterrey, onde mora, e começou a melhorar a Omius Band no inverno rigoroso da França em 2013, quando fazia um mestrado em energia.

Desde um protótipo de colete refrigerador – que nenhuma costureira queria fazer por desconfiar que essa peça era uma arma terrorista -, até a faixa, essa que tanto sonhou enquanto sofria com o calor enquanto praticava esportes ou simplesmente se transportava de um lugar a outro por Veracruz e Monterrey, onde ele morava, foram horas de dedicação ao projeto.

Livros inteiros lidos, tentativa e erro, vários protótipos jogados no lixo até conseguir o produto final hoje conhecido, que ainda tenta melhorar ou personalizar devido à excelente aceitação dos triatletas em todo o mundo .

Atualmente, a faixa Omius conduz calor 4.000 vezes melhor que um tecido normal. O efeito de resfriamento é otimizado quando o calor flui pelo material do acessório e dura enquanto o material estiver umedecido, tornando necessário molhá-lo periodicamente durante nossos treinos ou competições.

O produto que a Omius tem em mãos parece marcar um antes e um depois na história em termos de adaptação da pele à temperatura ambiente predominante, o que não é menos revolucionário que os sapatos com placa de fibra de carbono na sola, por mencionar algo que todos já conhece na atualidade.

A ideia de ser uma faixa para a cabeça se deve a sua proximidade com o cérebro, de onde a regulação térmica do resto do corpo é “comandada”. Além disso, a testa é um local de grande concentração de suor por unidade de área, que possui um grande fluxo de sangue superficial e um bom número de sensores térmicos que influenciam a percepção da temperatura. No entanto, alguns atletas, como Sebastian Kienle, já usaram o acessório no antebraço; Anne Haug em volta do pescoço, Lucy Charles acoplou seu patrocinador e Tim O’Donnell usava nas costas, quase na nuca.

Em nossa prova de campo, usamos a Omius Band na etapa de 10 quilômetros da corrida do Internacional de Santos, sob uma temperatura de quase 30 graus. Como experiência pessoal, o efeito da banda começou a ser sentido após os primeiros dois quilômetros, quando ela estava perfeitamente molhada.

Assim, alcançamos um equilíbrio que nos deu a confiança necessária para enfrentar a última etapa da competição sem grandes problemas. No entanto, era essencial umedecê-la para sentir cada vez mais seu efeito em nossa percepção do calor. Ainda mais em um dia ensolarado como o que tivemos na clássica prova do litoral paulista.

A faixa de resfriamento, produzida no México, pode ser comprada no site da Omius ao preço de 139 dólares, com frete para todo o mundo. Atualmente, existem muitos triatletas profissionais que pedem o acessório personalizado com seus patrocinadores, ou não, para melhorar seu desempenho. Muitos amadores também estão experimentando a faixa, que, cada vez mais, ganha terreno no esporte de alto desempenho. Então, da próxima vez que você vir um atleta correndo com um colar de pérolas na cabeça, já saberá do que se trata.
