February 6, 2011 .....
Appointment required ingredients are there: beautiful location, beautiful scenery, beautiful environment and two great women Cecili & Barbara and their staff ... if this I add that I do a all'ETP50 LL30 approach, here, then, that this year there is the saint who holds: go!
I had discovered this race two years ago; debut for both: the race to the first edition and I had my first 18km race ... a real, if I remember correctly, which then was transformed along the way, in a 22km long characterized by mud and water everywhere on the trails and everywhere on the body of our trailer!!
Lots of fun, I had come down thanks to the company of a providential man of Biella ran with his dog, I was exhausted so much so that for exactly one month later I had no course but immense joy and fun ... ....
the good memories you know, you always bring in and so here's appointment this year that I was more certain than ever that it would be a very good race especially since he was 1 month was not a drop of rain, and then all the mud then surely there would have been!
... And then as this year was a great party!
A coffee bar with friends: the 'social', C (ULO) B (ello), the Patty the Furio, Walter, the Stefano Mika nice with Jonny and his friend in As a spectator, then fast way to start the preparations and ... .. where I meet my next adventure companions: Maximus and Claudius I see with great pleasure KayakRunner the ultratrailer Roberto Morenic known to the Trai and Silvano Valbossa.
include greetings and gossip that is part of me almost did not realize it, the rest at the bottom of the group with the 'social' and CB, also because it is the first time that Roy is in the midst of all these people and I start my serious problems not to obstruct the way for others. 
You go quietly ciacole and laughing, as usual the rest, but you know who cares and a member of the time I we give 4 hours of time to stay around and around we are after all more the better: I am preparing a 50km and her a 65km why the motto "Who goes softly, goes safely and far" in this case is flawless and then .... we are escorted by CB and mica happens to us every day to run with a touch so cool and most importantly very very funny! ;-) .... Approfittiamone! Unfortunately, the good company is short, starting with stops forced toilet: Before Roy, then the member and then me.
lose them, they are last, but just last there is no one behind, not even the lady with the yellow jersey in the race that is marching, it's gone too ....
.. I do not lose heart, even the silence that surrounds me makes me feel good, I can leave the head from 1000 thoughts in recent days made me vulnerable and nervous, I find peace .... What a beautiful feeling! I start well, from time to time, to make a word with Roy. My race pace is dictated by the breathing, which means: no pain, no shortness of breath, relaxing, recovering the distance on those in front of me and I slowly leave behind some runners.
the second CB relief bill that is waiting for me, I have unfortunately a technical problem with the dog breaks the mechanism to which I had hooked the leash, and minutes should be an alternative study, as well as the runners in that while I got behind! We share, CB front and behind me and I say that the nickname that I have saddled him with a brush your shoes ... .. I rate it with a rabbit so I could also try to make it to 100 km!!
That's the second mechanism, however, creates problems and I rifermo, do not call Alberto (CB), let him go, I stop and study how the hell tie Roy. I do not have many alternatives: leash in hand do not talk get to the bottom with one arm longer than the other, then decided to merge the two leashes and tie it to life, so I remain central, arms and hands are free and run better!
Let's calm, I enjoy the beautiful landscapes and Roy having fun to make some unscheduled bathroom in the various streams met and icing on the cake, he decided to become a healthy mud bath. ... We do not have a camera! Top of the hill and the view of Rose in front of us is just something fantastic, as it was two years ago!
At 15km the beak member tells me that it was wrong road and CB juncture in the past because there has to be there with you. ... Peace! Proceed together to the third restaurant then slowly I go ....
recapture two women, but Roy decides to play a little bit & pull the spring, the pace and then he stops and their Rivanna, the rebuke and step back and Roy stopped them and on .... So long as the holy beast, recuperate, try an assault at a gallop and pulls me to take them back, and overcome the way we go ... .. 
I'm enjoying it a lot, but here I am in front of a staircase that seems like a wall, but I do mind the local all'ETP50 soon after 50km of racing I have to climb the steps of the Tower Eiffel to the first floor, so what these steps can be compared to ?????... Nothing! Just a pity that Roy does not think like me and so I had to pull up the case ....
At the top, short stop, but then Roy exchanges two hens for two pheasants and try to drive them ... ..
start afresh now miss very little, beyond the end of the lawn I hear someone who encourages me: they are the parents of Stefan with Niky (Roy's ex-girlfriend), one km, still a little rise bastard and ARRIVAL ... .. 3h 39 ' without any difficulty, with great feeling and a renewed optimism for Paris!
Fast lavatina the lawn under a beautiful warm sun, lunch and then off to attend the awards ceremony!
shame not to win any of the trips up for grabs, retry the lot in 2012!
Truly a GREAT DAY BELLA BELLA!
Cecilia THANK YOU ... THANK YOU Barbara!
ROY BRAVO! A 'only regret not being able to meet and Steskialp Bebosky, but there will be time in Paris!
The next day ... ...
From afraid I could not move my legs! Roy the idiot to have tied up in life and having to fight in the first half of the race, the sprint on the attempts made me work too hard and in an unusual way the quadriceps and the next day I had my serious, not to say very serious, difficulty walking and do not talk about the steps .... The situation has improved slightly Tuesday, I've also put 8km race at snail pace and leveled, every change of inclination of plane forced me to walk, but they are served as the situation has gradually improved .....
