Yesterday, last workout with the kids before the "race": racing simulation on the race distance (600m, won my little heir, sniff), slow jog, yogic exercises and relay final (on asphalt, because vineyards impractical). Children always willing but a little tired, still ready for a day different. We'll talk.
Today, half a Vittuone , just inside the Milan South Agricultural Park : long, sometimes endless boulevards, canals and small towns (in) areas. Loved the way, willing the organization (tested by a number of participants might not planned from the beginning), the friendly atmosphere that reigns among the runners. Too bad I've opted for the shorts of Florence: it is raining for the duration of the race.
G. and I, but left without heating from the very first row, we aggregate quickly to a close-knit little group: we give the change in turn, until G. no tearing to the 15K. I follow him and ends almost together: K increases the last step and he encourages me, but now they are definitely cooked. He finds time to spend one more before the finish line, I took advantage of the final descent from the bridge to keep me behind the "rivals".
14.mo I close on 753, 7 / 313 class (extended from 40 to 49) in 1:18:58. It is now time that I have in my legs, especially on a course as flat as it is today. And it was only a test ...
is concluded in the narrow closet of final rest, covered with plenty of slices with hot chocolate and nutella (appreciated the Beautiful). Award category: a sausage and the handshake of the Mayor.
exit, exchange the sausage, which animalofilo I could never eat with a slice of pannutella: the voluntary relief is surprised but eventually accepts without fuss. He deserved it more than me.
