Marathon del Grappa 2010 ...

I had always heard good things and I can confirm that this is a race that is worth doing. First of all, then congratulations to all Pove del Grappa (VI) with various local associations (alpine, civil protection, etc. ...) including the Running (Armando great!) Organized ... just a great celebration of sport! 5 Ben distances to choose from ... .. the 42k was what did it for me :-)

Pove Arrive early and with his team-mate Adelchi I press the start of the Garmin to 7:05 ... the temperature is optimal at this time and the desire to climb the Grappa as well! Among various ascents (the first step to be done, the second all corribile) various woods, asphalt, caves, tunnels (splendide!!) Arrives after a little more of 2h30 'and surrounded by a fog-mist (which has effects that acts as a mystic and incredible contrast to the sun already hit hard during the last km of the rise ...) on top of this beautiful mountain that for the first time I had the chance to see! The descent can be seen in 2 parts, with the first very sweet and easy in the midst of meadows and the second much longer pending and technique. ... In practice there is a bit 'of everything and all tastes are satisfied :-D Check in after 4:25 a.m. 'in good condition and ready to do the 3rd time with Charles, Andrew and Robert R. Forum.

The departure from the central Piazza Ferretto was given for my category (the other "batteries" are all the first matches starting from 20:15) at 22.00 hours and despite the heat became cmq . feel along the 10.200 km and not as had been reported 9.650 km (among the other my Garmin 405 marked the end 10350m). After a good warm-up with my teammates (here we are in just out of the "sauna" in the changing rooms) during which we have come too 2km street circuit that was very smooth and very welcome surprise with a good "ground" ;....

At 22 o'clock we start all as rockets and tailored, but I also try not to overdo it, I get a half since the 1 lap run it a bit 'too fast and the 2nd I have already out of breath .... but better than the other fellow travelers that I have to trudge too hard initial! Are at the limit and I realize I did not understand how to run well for a long ... on the 3rd lap I sell them for but do not give up even if the thought that there are still far from encouraging and 2 rounds .. .. instead encourages the fact that the designated opponent of the evening up to that time was about 20''relentlessly and then begins to approach all my efforts are focused on him .... on the stroke of the 5th last lap and I can finally join him ... After that we run together to do 500m fund to the latest energy and run as fast as possible the last 1500m conclude that seem truly endless ... the race in 36'04'' with transition to 10k in 35'20'' new PB.

After about 36 hours from the absolute path plan Mestre other race and I meeting catapulted a year later, in Paluzza (UD) for Skyrace of meat and pot has only the first few meters of the departure, in fact speak clear the numbers on the GPS with 23.250 km for well-2400D +:

remembered a very technical and tough race and this year I had the proof! Good race for myself until the 16th km all'intertempo with good intensity running along with two other companions, good rhythm management in the first climb and not bad (for my dues) with the descent the right risks and proper coordination-elasticity. The problems have begun from there on, in the sense that I have noticed a gradual hardening of the legs in the second rise and reductions in the rate has soared by fatigue: the two traveling companions in fact say hello ..... In the next set down the pace even more to the muscles that are now literally devastated, so much so that the slide and barrel on his toes no longer count (Broken fingernail ..)..... Probably the hardships of the race on Friday night cone was predictable (and desired ....) have not been completely disposed of. To avoid the risk of shooting down his oars and face the last 4-5 km with a lot of attention, but not enough ... to 5 meters from the arrival on the red carpet with mega somersault fall :-) .... cos & # 236; for the show:-D Check with two marbles instead of legs and run by masseur I call a moment in the sixth. 3'49''final time trial and then the satisfaction of having improved since the last edition of 10 '.

Padova RUN 10k + Trail Sunday afternoon shotguns

Another Sunday and other shotgun .......






also ...... Running:-D

1) RUN THE JOURNAL PADOVA 10Km






Just well-organized by the Journal this circuit racing 10 stages in touch throughout the country. I could not make me run the 10km stage of PD, which fortunately was scheduled on Sunday (Saturday for me is almost always off-limits). Good morning arrival in the city of Santo and already the sun beats down .... we run a danger levels at 30 ° prox values. Arrival and departure are fisssati Prato della Valle in the beautiful surroundings ..... very exciting and path will unfold completely in the town center. After a 10-15 'warm-mates with Fabio (author of a splendid PB on the distance .. Great!) I position it behind the line of departure "and BeepBeep Wolfman" (supervised by cameras and interviewed) I'll find immediately be 2 of 8 people participating in reality TV connected to this circuit races like a "Big Brother race," but that engaging our passion has truly intrigued me (among other things, two of the runners are very deserving!
The race I was satisfied considering the great difficulties weather, the route has been very nervous with so many changes of direction at 90 ° in the beginning and end and the paving which grew with each passing km deleterious to the quadriceps (so much so that they were trying to run as soon as possible in the arcades. Home run well (or not launched too) and almost always push apart from the 6-7km where I could probably give more. made mid-race with two runners in the reality (one was on the edge while the other, which I found to be a professional athlete from 30'50''about 10k, was very much dissolved ...) in excess to the 7 km mark when I let go of the legs and can exceed 3 other athletes (including the 2nd woman) before the finish line. Good performance, the shape is round, 16th overall with the Time 34'16'', but not 10k but on a more realistic 9.5K (3.36-km)! Adios absolutely promoted



2) TRAIL: In the afternoon, a climb-down on the love and strength for Pre Trevigiane 2300D + 29km climb with just a nightmare that was to become a nightmarish descent from the Col Visentin (1764 ).... I would say everything highly destructive, but workout .... for details here:

The insurgents, demagogues that in Italy the pre-unification sought to oppose the invasion of Napoleon and his sights anti-Catholic, the official history never existed. But in recent years the search is finally discovering the role of characters such as Christmas or Branda Lucioni Barbieri in Pavia in Piedmont, who faced the revolutionary armed to defend the right to live their faith.

One of them, until now completely ignored by the manuals school is finally a recognition beyond the borders of the Tyrol to its 200 years since it was shot at Mantua by order of Napoleon, as he held in his hands the crucifix adorned with a bouquet of flowers: "I stand before Him who created me - confessed in front of the peloton - and I want to give up my soul. " His name was Andreas Hofer, came from a village in Passeiertal, died Feb. 20, 1810 just 42 years.

It was a professional soldier, but a humble host device valley north of Merano, which for over a decade had led the Tyrolean troops to leave his beloved Franco-Bavarian Tyrol, Austria passed to Bavaria after the third war coalition. "The Tyrolean, which in 1809 took up arms against the Emperor Bonaparte fought, suffered and died not for a vague ideal, but to defend something very concrete, starting with religious freedom, that the very possibility of access to the sacraments, to have for themselves and their children Christian instruction, to transmit and communicate freely with the faith itself.
