Spanish term or phrase: las vivo muy de cerca
Hi
I'm looking for others' thoughts on this please.
I understand "vivir de cerca" to mean to experience something personally or first-hand, but MUY de cerca?
Many thanks.

"Aquí es el paraíso de los triatletas, por lo que hay infinidad de pruebas relacionadas con este deporte. Pero, por nombrar algunas, éstas dos son las que más me gustan. Además, las vivo muy de cerca porque nuestro hotel es el hotel oficial."
