Sardegnaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! That
Just finished the race photos ... RBK senior
E 'when, in the evening planned with Vincent, it was decided to go to Sardinia for the United Fund Sulcis, 25 km deep in the green province of Cagliari (meta Iglesias), who do not deafen people with the word "Sardegnaaaaaaaaaaaaa !"...
Mythical! He organized everything Vincent plane logistics, car rental (mythical spear Ipsilon), and I must say that as a second job could well do, "event organizer" .. Thank you, everything from lunches, dinners, subscriptions to the races, and any other company: It was a really wonderful weekend, where I met a beautiful land, with the of beautiful people ... The departure
, 8:30 am from Ciampino, was pleasant encounter with the Great Niki ... a character. I state that in order to follow the program of Luciano, I mentioned the 40-minute unloading at 4:30 am, where the few night owls in that Torrevecchia, I yelled out the window: "A Mattaaaaa." Flight
perfect ...
Sardegnaaaaaaaa! We welcomed a Cagliari illuminated by the sun, which we visited the beach, and distinctive central bastion. The air was special and I knew right away because the people themselves as "islanders" ... I could see the plants wind, the country of Capoterra and local saline but, as good runners, we also went to inspect in detail the geological location of the race ...
path made of gravel, of which the first few kilometers are made of flat sections and downs ... from the 14th, however, begins to increase the slope, up to an altitude of 400 meters. From the 19th onwards ... all downhill (A2 puzzose used to wearing the Giro del Lago, and my feet would suffer quite the way ...). Back to the village quiet and we grant a pizza (on average), exquisite, as pre-race dinner.
Wake up at 6, still ride in the car, then take the shuttle that would bring us to the departure (nice trip by minibus, with performances of "The Shitter "and his staff, who dedicate my award).
With sharpshooters who played ...
Marathon Start 9:30 am .. . Me and Vince were the "Lazio". After moments of thrilling because it did not take phone, I met the legendary David Rbk, very nice, as well as his friend, who has also given me advice about the management of the race. David had come with her amazing parents, who thank you for the photo shoot! I see him just leave, and then chipping away ...
I manage my race with confidence, knowing the path, already seen 5 volte...non avevo ben chiara la mia posizione in classifica, mentre correvo, seppure sentissi dei: "Brava!"dagli addetti al percorso presenti nei vari punti di ristoro...so solo che vedevo davanti una persona con la coda (che era un uomo, poichè son partita sempre in testa) e pensavo di essere giusto nelle prime 5...ho capito di essere prima solo quando l'ha annunciato lo speaker, 200 metri dall'arrivo...Gara più dura di quello che pensavo, soprattutto nel tratto finale in discesa, dove dei sasssi malefici che mi entravano nelle scarpe mi han fatto stringere i denti. Percorso meraviglioso, in mezzo alla natura, fra la visione di laghi, ruscelli, promontori... Seppur fosse prevista pioggia siamo stati graziati e, malgrado qualche tratto ventoso, conditions are proved to be excellent.
The warmth of the people cheering, calling on the speaker on stage by asking why I was coming from Lazio, Italy played by Innbrücke of sharpshooters at the time of award .... I think the words and emotions Emotions can never be enough .... beautiful. The race was worth as a league for military groups, and all this respect for the uniforms I was filled with charge. Vincent led a race to the top, increasing to 18 minutes from the beautiful 2008 ...
Cagliari ...
In the evening we ate from Sardinia, but first I am given a tour Cagliari solitary night, and I also saw a beautiful scolopendra, I photographed ...
What can I say? That those looks, the smiles, the serenity I have remained etched in my heart. It 's true: it is a beautiful land and the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving the eagle flew Lazio Runners in paradise was really good ... I'll be back, David, I've promised ... Sardegnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa everyone!
