last long in the program approach all'ETP50!!
With great pleasure I accepted the proposal Stefano to keep me company in this release ... alone would have been truly devastating to the mind ...., himself in preparation for a long trail of 65 km March 19!!
The weather was not very good, but the commitment was there and had to be respected in any condition!
Initially we had to run the course of the race of S. Cristina because I wanted a dirt path, corrugated climb without too much ... that there will be in Paris, but then saw the sudden abbassamneto temperatures, some adverse weather and the fact that Stephanie went out from a forced stop due to influence of 15 days, I accepted his alternative proposal to move the race with that of Invorio steps outside his house, and then with the possibility of doing eventualemnte stage ....
Saturday was a grueling day for my back: first the whole morning in the foot in the 'forced' because ski boots because I was in service to competition in downstream Vigezzo
then in the afternoon, transfer to another race in the valley Vigezzo Baitina always here and contracted due to cold ... had got a tune ....
really cold in the evening then meeting with her friends Laura and Dede light dinner for an aperitif and then ... least initially it was to be , home of Lauretta, p eccato just before the ravioli in broth, we have a good drinking red and after a good dose of mascarpone cream with 'tiles' Valle d'Aosta!!
I went to bed that were ..... 23:30
Sunday morning I wake up with difficulty at about 8, I look out and ... surprise of surprises ... I see a beautiful blue sky! :-)
8:15 comes the 'social' Mauri, then move on to recall his friend Jonny, a meeting with Lauretta Meina Invorio home and away towards the Stefano, where we arrived with my classic ritrado! ! ;-)
At about 9:30 on the ns. race begins ......
Stefano & Mika , the duo-guide, takes us along the paths and dell'AmmazzaInverso Invorio summer evening, a beautiful run almost all dirt roads and never dull, among ns. talking and dogs barking at our passage, the time and the road pass, sometimes we allow ourselves well qlc stretch to keep up with the excuse of the compact group ;-)
The wind there, my legs are heavy and not speak of the basin ultra stuck ....
Stefano proposed diversions, but it does not matter to me are new landscapes then the other thing is, do not just asphalt, so humor him!!
starting to have stomach pain qlc, small cramps;
Do not think the mascarpone cream the night before? ...
The fact is that I begin my toilet breaks .. ..
the second pass in front of the house of Stephen (15 ° km time 2h) Laura and Johnny decide to stop, then stop, greetings and so on ... they rise in our car and we resume. adventure.
I ask Stephen to take me to see a working site that we are following, then go from there to the industrial zone and we do a little bit of asphalt, but very little stuff.
We head Invorio Superior and here we take the dirt road that runs to December dell'AmmazzaInverno ... the pace is now a little bit quicker , and unfortunately I interrupt him several times because of the vagaries of my gut, but nothing I can gets!
km between 25 ° and 27 ° km haul the silence Mauri silent, but its always talk when we run short, Stephen and I, instead we talked enough before, now we're focused on our efforts starting to be felt!!
I know that he will stop around the 30 km mark ...
and I grind the idea of \u200b\u200bnot completing my planned 40km ...
is not from me, I know,
but I am suffering too much ... is a slow death .....
still mulling what to do ...
at 31 km mark, 3h 50 ', Stephen decides to stay, I choose, between 1000 and doubts with the conviction of not making it to continue staying in the area because I do not know how much I autonimia so with Maurizio Ghevio take the main road.
Initially, the part is flat, but then this is the descent, which clearly will be an uphill struggle to return. We arrive at the junction of the GPS and 35km marks accurate, even if I decide to return Mauri me note that we will not get to 40 ... not matter that I will miss the 400m at the end right now I seem 4000MT ..... alternating stretches and stretches of pace slow jog and economic practice in smear grounded , We arrive at our closing machine. around 3 to 9.62 km in 4h 48 ' with a D + for about 700 meters.
home a nice hot shower and then off to hot-lunch snack to recuperate: pizza with tomatoes, bacon doc, veal with tuna sauce, green olives, mixed salad all washed down with a good red accompganato to finish a cup of coffee with a slice of apple strudel!!
good day in good company, I got pretty emotional, so much work, too , and the belief that the preparation was just and that we'll be in Paris convinced more than ever!
Special thanks to fellow students: Laura, Jonny, Maurizio and Stefano who, unbeknownst to them, have allowed me to almost complete this LL .... the
The group today has done so much, my head would not hold!!
A good make friends .....
