was my first participation, I trained for this type of race do not have a ranking intentions to do but who knows me knows I always give everything here ... this time I had to pull a the little rowing boat ...
But from the beginning ... I Sonz and Teo arrive soon in Santa Cristina, on the other hand is 10 miles from home, we will take your chest and take the first surprise here I have the number 11 that has a meaning for me particular ... that's what I had on all the uniforms I wore both football to volleyball, that is into sports I have practiced for decades before me to running.
happy with this thing, I go with them in the locker room and the beginning of my dressing, here are many doubts on clothing and in the end I decided to dress the same as when I train .. including the mouth-nose cover ... I will not get sick ... but this choice will be a mistake for the Proceedings of the race.
finished I go out and hit the starting area where the first meeting with his pimp shoes red fire trail, we take a picture that I have not, then I see Furio, Patty and Walter and I also know Kayak Runner.
Speaking Furio tells me that the day before he suffered a twisted ankle and did not know how to involve race ... go along with position in the group before and because of the large speaker David Daccò fast we turn the legs ... first and second km away to be 3'45 "/ km ... then I say to Furio we are not exaggerating a bit ... I decided to give up a hair, I know he wants to do while I'm interested in ranking well to get to the finish ... I keep it always in front view ...
The route is beautiful and the terrain keeps changing from dry earth with grass or frozen mud, stones to be drawn on asphalt, then into the woods instead of the softer soil mostly covered with leaves and even some stretches of mud fords to cross ... never flat for too long, you go up and down and right at the 5th km there is a nice climb to the church, is long but it is steep, even if I do it seems more like a running race on place, and here comes the first problem ... I'm too hot dress and feel but I can not take off everything and let them now the choice I made and keep me ... I keep having a rate similar to that used in the hills in my training, my friend Furio I see before me, but always a little farther, is running well but my rhythm is good ... but I was too hot. Around 10km
our path meets that of the short race and for a good while so we run together through a bit of people I see before me, Patty, to be honest I first heard his voice: 9, I greet you and me Furio said he hurt his ankle and will retire ... I think it seems to me that is going too well ... actually a little further will not see it over and then find out that the goal is but withdrew after the second part of the race and ending with a short 21 km.
I will continue, drink plenty of water for refreshment because I'm sweating too much, although at this rate I'm a bit better than the beginning, so we arrive at 1:08 a.m. in the middle of the race 'to an average of 4'32 "/ km not bad considering everything, but at this point the route becomes more challenging, more nervous and the climbs and descents are steep and continuous, a true muscle splitting, I would just as well, but when around the 21 km mark
during a descent stumbling on steep rocks and I see his face on the ground but I stretching his leg in an unusual way to stand up ... but feeling a tight adductor the left leg ... I stop to think that my race is over ... but then I try again, the pain is felt only when the load uphill or when pushing hard on that leg, I can go on but I have to raise the pace and from there to the finish line will be a different race with the walking ... all without breaking salitone positive note I will not be hotter.
brings me to the finish in 2h28'36 "average 4'57" / km (to think that up to 21 km mark (accident) I was 4'36 '/ km on average) a little suffering but glad I finished my meeting now Sonz Teo and friends who give me a bottle of beer to drink ... rite now famous Run Team, shortly after I see my love Roberta incredibly arrived at the same time he crosses the finish line timing ... double ...
Then after a nice cold shower I, Roberta, beautiful Furio and Patty, and the legendary Walter Pimp we had lunch together at the pasta party (thanks for lending me the Pimp boxcutter Swiss if the apple does not cut it no more) .. .. the day runs continued in the arrivals hall waiting for the awards under a bright sun that warmed us while we played on the swings like when we were kids ... a wonderful Sunday between real friends.
last night instead of the sore ... I'm going to visit from Lorenzo my physio / osteopath who I will say nothing without the incident as soon as I touched her leg at that point he told me. ...
see that here you had a good elongation of the sartorius muscle ... then rest for a few days ... ice and anti-inflammatory.
bad.
the difference that you see now is the rise of the beats, this is because of the wind and his legs still heavy from the hilly 30km to keep pace I had to push over the odds ... results are certainly far from the state of the form I had last fall where I did it for 2 times the PB on the half-distance, but I think I'm like when I prepared to London, then Milan marathon between 58 days I can run, but I will have to be careful not to push too hard or I may not see.
