Monga Trophy for the 2nd test in ivancorti Garmin Connect - Details
.... That's the goal!! ... finally, after the last sprint, I can catch my breath from this brief but intense cross race and realize what has been exhausting and at the same time beautiful white race in this scenario that only a few times a year, if we lucky, we can test ourselves, that's why when snow covers the streets and fields do not lose the opportunity to immerse myself in these pristine white scenery where the effort is mixed and mostly relieved by the atmosphere around us .... we enter the race.
The start of my class is the last for which I scan with care the conduct the other categories above to realize if "mount snow tires :-) :-) or the classic" slick "of course I am referring to the spikes seen I do not much like their little protection and my classic discomfort in the legs .... I note that there are many who wear the spikes but does not mind a good number of classic shoes every day .... appearance of the final decision after the first heating stages that take place at 50 'from the beginning of my battery, cold and biting during heating, although I can not even be beautiful covered in sweat as the temperature is stiff, I realize now that the soil is very hard but not frozen you run well with normal shoes so immediately abandon the idea of \u200b\u200bspikes that stay warm in my bag to me that the difference starts to take off the sweatpants and stay in shorts.
We are just minutes away from, the investment is substantial and as I will be able to see right from the start of the race also super tough ... the judges give the VIA! with the shot gun and just shoot the large group of participants as an arrow leaves your bow ... I realize now that to try to stick to the group I started a bit strong but then you can not do otherwise in these short races, in fact already at the first corner in the woods I turn to see what position I am and I realize that behind me is left are a small group of participants, and I realize that I will give my best to stay in that position behind the lines until the end .... The competition is getting harder minute by minute, the culmination of the effort comes even before concluding the first of two laps when we are going to exceed two climbs and descents as many very difficult, made even more difficult by the slippery ... unlike my usual stretch of the descent I take very carefully trying not to slip .... That concludes the first lap and go for the second and final round .. the location is well-established (after me, luckily there are still some competitors but not many :-).... the fatigue is more than ever but mentally retraces the steps taken in the first round and I say to myself that now I do not miss much more arrival although I prepare to pass the trait faticolo ... the 2 climbs ... these have been done here is also still missing me we got 700 ... I close with a 27 Above more could not be done!! 00:27:45 .... but happy for having participated in a great race, well organized and a beautiful scenery .... Now, we will try to speed it up a bit before taking part in the next event .... January 6 Campaccio!!
With this race close ... have a good 2010 Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
