It happens sometimes that the preparation of necessity does not reflect fully what was expected in the beginning, so it happened to me that in this last week ended a few days despite being followed for seven days of discharge feelings of race have not proved the best. Tuesday I waited for the repeated 2-3-4-3-2 km long, I left at the end of the third round, not racing round, and little desire to head. Thursday hoping to redeem a nice running long, but the temperature of 32 ° at 18 o'clock in the afternoon did not help me. I started trying to keep the same a slower pace than expected to cope with the high humidity and the doubling of its drinking to turet but nothing is served: 1:35 after 'than 2:15' scheduled start dragging conscious that I stopped .
These days not exciting from a sporting point of view, however, followed a long weekend out of town again. By Constance fact Saturday afternoon we went to Domodossola on Sunday as I attended the Sgamela'a in nearby Val Vigezzo; in the evening we were guests at dinner at the home of elf pimp that I thank you again for the excellent hospitality.
Sunday morning meeting is in Santa Maria Maggiore nei pressi del centro dello sci di fondo, appena arrivo trovo subito Oliver , poi poco alla volta mi incontro con tutti i blogger presenti: Kikko , Pimpe , Furio , Patty e solo dopo la gara incrocio Stefano mentre purtroppo non ho avuto modo di far la conoscenza di Hal .
Poco più di una decina di minti di riscaldamento e alle 9:30 si parte per questi 26 chilometri abbondanti che si articolano su è giù per la valle. Per quel che mi riguarda non è ovviamente una gara finalizzata a se stessa ma inserita nel cammino di avvicinamento a Carpi, ma voglio fare bene e godermi questa manifestazione che si corre in un bel scenario.
The start is cautious, I try to maintain a commitment to close the alleged marathon pace, but the path is not corrugated helps me in keeping a constant pace. Chat with Constance who follow me in a bike and tell her that her legs do not turn round again, but the race is long and hope for an improvement as it often happens to me. First round in the center of Santa Maria Maggiore to review in the start area and go to Druogno. I am in tenth place and gradually begin while maintaining a consistent pace to surpass competitors, so much so that after ten kilometers on the climb to Toceno I can nab the group's third, fourth and fifth athlete. I appended to them to breathe for a moment, I do not know the path but I know that I expect further longest climb that leads to Villette: difficult to interpret in a race like this move is long, you better not overdo it. The happiness of being well placed to be able to run well and you cancel the mule track from Toceno us back on the road, they are not already ibex figure to rise to fall, but here I restrict my ankles a lot. The supports imprecise and down so much suffering, every step is a nuisance and I'm forced to slow down to less burden on the joints. Leave us a sixty / seventy meters down in a few hundred but I do not lose heart, I see three up front and try to get back in the building on the long climb to Villette. Re gain something but after we face another discesa e che mi fa di nuovo perdere metri e questa volta definitivamente. Insorge anche un leggero fastidio allo stomaco ma nulla di preoccupante, il tracciato adesso è per lo più sullo sterrato che ricalca il percorso invernale dello sci di fondo. Molto bello il passaggio in Malesco tra due ali di folla così come il tratto finale di gara nervoso e mosso immerso nel bosco che ci porta finalmente al traguardo.
Concludo in sesta posizione dopo 1:45' di corsa questa bella gara a ragione ben frequentata.
