CASAMASSIMA 09/28/2008 - 21/09/2008

On Sunday morning, forcing me to move a bit reluctantly ... I'm tired ... the place is away .. I'm alone in the car and the only thing that gives me courage is that the location is beautiful.

I think to myself ... "by a 40 minutes and we all go home with a clear conscience."

And because the race Casamassima was precisely and only (maybe), a problem of conscience.

should have been done and enough! I'm beginning to understand how they feel about athletes who have to do things even when they feel like it.

Fortunately, next Sunday is half to pheasant and then there's a Sunday rest. :)

Vaaaaa well. OOOOOOk .

The path is actually very nice even if I had described as fast. Okay - even here - corrections are always out later.

You run the first 5 km in plain and slight descent and then from the 6th to the end uphill. This time there was also against the wind. Too bad because in principle could also be a path on which - in theory and subject to what he first pointed out - do a "good race". The organization

was good, the restaurants they worked perfectly and the flow arrival was well controlled by the specially created three lanes. Nothing to complain.

The pace stood about 3 min and 54 sec km. Not bad. I'm back:). Sure, Michael Forleo continues to give me 20 sec but that's okay.

The numbers of the race: 10km

Route 200 mt - time: 39 min and 23 sec

Rank: 137 ° (on 1245) total - 38 ° cat. TM

How To Write A Movie Invitation

MARTINA FRANCA -

"Wonderful, but you do not realize
as to what the world is wonderful
wonderful, even your pain may seem
then wonderful"

ongi I do not know why but when I think of something complicated I remember this song.

And I came to mind today ... in the pouring rain when we ran at / to Martina Franca.

What we are wicked!

Runners are so ... ... I dug physical wiry hair ... ... and basically insane.

The race was accompanied by virtually the entire duration of the rain, which left us in peace only when you arrive at the finish. The Race

The route winds up to 8km 250m as will be evidenced by the pictures attached below includes many ups and downs.

Cap

a good start. Front. An accomplice to do the first initial descent km and at about 3min 40sec per km. I think maybe I'm going too strong and then slow down until the average rate is around 3 min and 57 sec per km.

the 6th km Biblically the Lord sends us the Red Sea. A puddle which inevitably have to go .... your feet are completely immersed in the water .. 'national tragedy!

Pass that kind of "plague" but 'the race is heading towards the finish line in reverse way of going.

Healthy, safe and close to death from cold and 32min 47sec - 123 th overall - 31 Cat. TM . The pre-race

At 7.20 I go down at home ... and I will propsetta this scenario

001

rain ... and time ... that black sadness ...

I do not mind I lose, I escape by car, take Mauritius, Antonio and then point in the direction of Martina.

Just arrived the atmosphere is surreal ... everything is still to be prepared ... and there are only 50 minutes to start.

Meanwhile there is the opportunity to bring together proprizia part of the group have already arrived

002

... myths that !.... shorts in the rain ... and 20 degrees ... I mean we realized? (From left back: Paul, Anthony, Maurizio, Alessandro and Enzo, front from left: Peter, Francis and I).

photos Rite

003

with Himmler ... Maurizio ....

006

with Antonio, and Maurizio Alessandroni ...

not miss ... the usual photos!

See you next Sunday in Casamassima, where - as usual - rain is expected.

FRANCAVILLA 14.09.2008 - 07:09:08

This morning I was sitting comfortably in "reading room" when I happened to read an article published in Corriere Pizzolato past August. References and tells us what's really missing the race ... races ... the pre-start tension ...

One sentence in particular, however, struck me deeply:

"In racing to beat the opponent can be many things: the hands of the clock always running too fast, the travel distance, the difficulties of the track, the inconveniences that arise as the load increases ..." .

Well, Francavilla has been - like all races, they'll think the most - all these things together.

I make a premise that does not count as a justification: the heat was crazy and I was not prepared for a "half".

said precisely that I came from a shot to beat quite "tight" (25 km on Wednesday) and a trip that I still had sapped a lot even though I continued to train.

difficle Yes, because it is back to racing in the city when you have had the opportunity to race here

NOR E BRET- 2008 - 1068_resize

between the hills and the vineyards where the grapes are grown for the champange ... or here

NOR E BRET- 2008 - 1074_resize

the landing beaches of Normandy.

But proceed calmly. As was the custom

meeting - at the start - an hour before the start of the "bosses" in the meantime had withdrawn the chest and the race packs. Pago. And I'm going to change.

FRANCAVILLA - 07.09.08 - 001_resize

... business as usual tirade ... I never took a picture with these glasses ... miiii are awesome!

Then we start with the heating, turn Villa, a chat with Salvatore met there (author of a dazzling 1h 28min and change) and so for the last ritual photos

FRANCAVILLA - 07.09.08 - 003_resize

... glasses on. .. (me and eddy are like Pietro Aretino ... with one hand in front and one behind :):):):))

FRANCAVILLA - 07.09.08 - 002_resize

glasses on .. .. but by Up! ...

FRANCAVILLA - 07.09.08 - 004_resize

glasses ... down ... but full-length ...

go! We decide to leave at around 4.30 ... after the first few kilometers but I am driven by a rate around 1.15 to 4.19 km. It's not my ... halfway through the race ... in fact ... I give about 11 km mark I raise significantly the time on km - also because of the fact that the Garmin me off - and inevitably end up running by feel. This is something that gives me deeply uncomfortable.

Thus, the km run slow ... slow ... sometimes step or perhaps next only to people who are not even shiny km to tell me the time on the past. In short, is what pisses me off quite a bit.

All right! From the "surf" around an hour and 32min. ... I find myself fighting to keep me back from peacer hour and 35min. ...

the overpass of the 17 km mark peacer is upon me now ... is a matter of minutes ... I feel my legs heavy ... and so the 19 km mark is next to me ... and then I will plant in front of 5 meters!

He honestly what I is not good .. just grit my teeth and I go back ... (I run for about 500 meters with its balloons on my face ... how sad) and then right beside him and try to bring his step .... spurs me to do "spring" (I was thirsty and looking for a restaurant ... ... having missed the previous one) and tells me to go "now that we have arrived" ... we

on until the last 500 meters.

The 500m more 'longest of my life ... never passed ... I also tried to sprint ... at least not to end just above the hour and 35min ... but now I was completely exhausted.

I close in 1 hour and 35min 8sec. Bad considering that during the race I always fell like rhythm. Well if you think I should go to 4.30 km at the outset.

Eddy Behind me with 1 hour 36 min practically shadowed me - without my noticing - the whole race.

No doubt you better than me!

The organization was good. The only drawback to the sponge 17 ° km already completed for us time and 35min ...... and a refreshment at the 20th km completely useless. The

any desired:

Path: 80m 21km

Time: 1h 35min 08sec

rank: 123 th overall - 26 Cat TM

See you next Sunday with Martina.

not miss it!
