a race ... again and again to cross Paderno Dugnano, this time to play in the 2nd edition of the trophy town of Paderno, individual regional championship race as good as Master of Cross Country M / F . Waiting for the nearly 500 participants in the race is a day marked by a cold and wet, unlike the last competition which took place in Paderno, makes the race course a little 'more slippery and less ice in the previous .... A process characterized by a small change in the final stretch, a change that eventually led to be slightly longer (about 200m) but also more difficult because the variation introduced lays downs places after two difficult climbs of the traditional route.
... The practice of withdrawal are processed quickly and pectoralis by myself and the rest of the participants with impeccable organization dell'Euroatletica 2000.
at 9:30 am and ready to start the first heat race of this country, which sees battery engaged the female categories and master MM60 and MM65, a distance of 4 km (1 full turn and the lap of 800 m) .
For me it's time to wear clothing and accessories by race and begin warming up. ... 30 ' slow jog with some shots a bit' of stretching muscles and tendons are stressed and more ready to bring in the start area with over 150 athletes of the second battery of 40 mm and master MM45 (The last battery will be given to remaining categories master).
10:10 firing of judges and away you go!! run away like rabbits all crazy ... I try not to miss too many competitors and simultaneously determining forces to try to avoid running out of breath right from the start ... but the good level of participating forces me to do overtime and after 1 Km With the pace is already being felt in the wind and muscles.
Soon I realize now that it will be a hard day, just path will allow me, I look behind me to check how many competitors are behind me .... There are not many ... grit my teeth and try not to lose contact with the athletes and closer to me while I try to catch my breath and to dispose of the lactic acid that has accumulated in my muscles because of the quick start ... .. this allows me to start the second lap with more energy .. energy that I make more than six competitors.
We are also in the final straight ... this cross is finished. Now I wait until the last hard winter, the cross of the five mills and then, with the hope that my physical problems do not get worse ... we're going to face the first road races in the spring.
