That just ended for me was a very pleasant weekend in which I participated in two races with very great satisfaction in both.
Saturday night I competed in the first edition of the "march fortaia Goddess" in San Polo di Piave, non-competitive race to 7km (6.53 seconds my gps) on a flat path, smooth and well marked that it lends itself well to my purpose: to make a good speed workout. Given the recent period of ups and downs of health and longstanding illness, the race in question fell to the brush as a test to check my form and my "value" as it was a long time since I competed in competitions such short , all in view of the Grand Prix circuit Streets of Italy which for me starts next Saturday with the race Oderzo, appointment to which I want to get trained and the specific references on which to set the pace in the race.
At 19.00 o'clock is the start date and I along with 100 other runners soon after birth and throughout 23'17 "race through the streets crossing the countryside around the town center June 7 th overall at the finish classifying staccato of a hundred meters from the leading group. Very pleased with the result (I got my staff on the 3000 and 5000 meters respectively with times of 10'24 "and 17'35", nothing special but for me they are still the nice goals) and best feelings during and after the race.
And now comes the highlight of the weekend, ie Sunday morning when he of Cornuda kicked off the 39th edition of DueRocche, international non-competitive race between the longest in Italy (and the solid experience of the organizing team is its demonstration), inevitable appointment for all fans of trail running (more than 3000 participants divided into various tracks!) who came from the Veneto region, not only to attend to that as well as a race, is a true celebration of spring in the beautiful scenery of the hills cornudesi and Asolo, characterized by their beautiful trails (in some very muddy) that wind through the woods between the trenches and tunnels, memories of times long gone but never forgotten (thanks to this race) and scents that only this season can give (great flavor of chives that has accompanied me to one of the last climb near the fortress of Cornuda).
The race per se, it is very hard, steep climbs that often force me to step forward to pushing on his knees with his arms followed by descents into what is natural (and necessary!) let go for "stretch" your legs, but always paying attention to the many pitfalls of the bumpy, all seasoned with a day with the sun, although for most of the race is hidden by thick woods, still manages to make us feel his presence in the form of heat and gallons of sweat. Anyway I know well all these difficulties, tested several times in training, the same applies to the track, and thanks to the experience I can lead a race with intelligence and opinion by assaying the energies kilometers per kilometer always aware of how is remaining and what is in store for me the path of them little control, managing the efforts so as to allow me to deal with its freshness traits more congenial to me fast and then recuperate in view of the slopes. In doing so I managed to reach the finish line quite cool and with a good comeback race after a race in which I have recovered several positions. 1h48'59 "my final time (18 'lower than last year) to cover a distance of 20.65 km and 700metri of elevation gain and 32 ° absolute position immediately celebrated with a well-deserved cold beer!
For the record, rose to the podium Claudio Cassi (1:27 a.m. in the first ') the eternal Lucio Fregona (former world champion mountain race which he won 11 editions of duerocche) and on the lowest rung of the young Bamoussa. Now I wait a week
exhaust stroke while slow and low mileage for the next weekend I plan another double win Saturday the aforementioned competitive race of Oderzo flat and fast on a circuit of 10km, Sunday "rush between and do Cesetti "Monfumo of the first edition of a competition organized by the already mentioned Fregona and therefore promises to be tough and hilly as I like. All waiting for the Marathon Custoza May 9, now in the crosshairs.
