BARI-ROMA 217 km ...

Many were the miles I have traveled from May 3 to Barincorsa Half Marathon Rome on June 20. In the space of 50 days three half marathons and mountain running.

But first things first. After Barincorsa a nagging injury forced me to slow down the pace, but the will to continue and enjoy the shape of Barcelona after he took over. Anyway I put in a yard short race (Fasano di Brindisi), the Half Marathon Turi, valid as regional champions, and half in Rome. These

comments:

Fasano May 31: Tight race for 9.3 km to a location more than a hilly dirt road. Time 44:47 (4 'and 48' per km) - 8th grade.

Just two days later (June 2) I ran the half of Turi, a path traced between the Apulian countryside, which provided a return from a village near the city. The race was not easy and I felt heavy in the early miles. I obviously felt the fatigue performance of the first two days, partly because the problem is re-charged immediately after the May 3 Barincorsa. The time of 1 hour and 39 minutes, the time and 33 minutes far from Bari, speaks clearly about the physical conditions at that time I had. However, a sixth-grade quite acceptable.

I had to cut to the bone your schedule to come and be physically affixed securely to face Roma with no consequences.

So, desperate times - desperate measures, with the desire to make a unique experience never repeated, I wanted to enroll and participate in RomaMezzamaratona to live a fantastic night.

With the determination to enjoy the show, accompanied by two friends riding and almost 4 thousand other participants, I ran almost track stand.

Departure at 23. A wonderful starting point with the Arch of Constantine and the Colosseum centuries behind.

a picturesque dip in the Via Appia Antica lit by torches in the dark spots. Thrilling the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving the same cobblestone ricalpestare traveled by barefoot Abebe Bikila at the 1960 Rome Olympics.

Despite the difficulties of the path (dark streets and uneven, sometimes very close) was the effective organization that has made a great effort to place participants in good conditions to compete .

stuck in the middle of the large group, was the very slow start. Two kilometers away my time trial reported 12 minutes and 20 seconds. A 11 km recorded an interim 59 min. and 50 sec. (Position 1495 to 27 ° range). The second part of the race, thanks to the more expeditious route, I sped up the closing 10 km in 50 'and 58' (position 1236). Final time of 1:49:20 (real time) and 16th grade (out of 94 competitors). I've just spent the first two hours of June 21, the day of soltice summer.

A result on the whole acceptable.

Won Nicodemus Biwott and blue Maraoui

Rirorno to my ... times.

Who would have thought? A year so do not enjoy it for years. High half-marathon that fills me with satisfaction. An encore that pays my sacrifices after two months of the Barcelona Marathon and 15 days half of Villanova Ostuni. Yet my training methods do not seem to be too absurd! In Bari

I started with the idea of \u200b\u200bcollecting the same result as the first 15 days. But I have done better: 1 hour 33 minutes and 44 seconds. A minute before half Ostuni ... forever!

the sixth best time of my class (out of 42) ... just 10 seconds from the fifth position.

Started in 1200 at a glance that the race is devoid of tread with their beautiful colorful balloons that indicate the rhythm of the final time. Patience ... I would do without a reference point that I would suggest the pace en route.

Solita press in the first 200 meters, barely when putting in a corridor free from dangerous traffic jams. A mishap that makes me lose at least 20 seconds in the first 5 minutes of running. Full recovery over the next 3 miles running at a pace of 4 minutes and 20 seconds per km. I feel however that it did not give up the voltage because I realize that I run with little fluidity. Casio systematically control my every 1000 meters of road sign, noting a time that makes me think seriously about whether to keep or less: 4 'and 20 to the first refreshment.

The route of the race winds up a circuit to be repeated twice along the entire waterfront. After 7 km you pass the first time under the banner of the start / finish, then you head for the longest part of the circuit. After the tenth km (44 ' and 35 ") I clearly had the feeling to make rubber band. I could not find the right pace until an athlete Bari Society Friends of the Treasury has given me a hand. His step similar to mine and his size helped a shelter from the mistral winds moderate.

last turning point (favorable wind) I had the feeling of beating the time of the half of Ostuni. Three kilometers to the finish. ... On the 18th 1:20:20. I had absolutely get under the hour and thirty-four! So I can give more grit to my strengths and speeds.

Real time: 1:33:44. Another result to be envied!

Note: My time is officially 1:34:02 - equal sixth grade. The Real Time instead of the fifth me!

the next.
