2011 or "Holy cow I did my PB!" yesterday promised to be a beautiful day, the weather gave a very good time and I was curious to run on the new path, which on paper promised to be more "citizen" of the previous year.
At 8:00 I found myself with other friends rang the GP ready to go to Piacenza.
Matatona At the Center, we have changed slowly, we left the bags and we got back indoors just to warm up a little '. The day was sunny but at 09.00 it was still cold. I opted to run with the panataloni short, but with the shirt in winter.
We stand at the start until 09:15. I know that I have not trained much, so my intention is to enjoy the race and the new path, nothing more.
I'll try to stay with the legendary Peter which has a rate of 5 min at km until I can stand, then slow down.
Ready via the shot ... yes ... well ... more than one shot looks like a Howitzer cannon. again before passing the line of departure because we are trooped in front of us there were people who were non-competitive and proceeded at a crawl occupying about half track, and then via a small detour.
Let's go a bit 'slow (more so) then after a couple of miles we settled on the pitch cruise 5 min / km. We pass the course and then, the monument of Engineers sappers go to the right. Start the new part of the route. We are situated on the banks of the Po, a breathtaking (for those who stayed behind, like me) a snake of people running along the embankment up to the eye. Finished the course on the banks we approach the 10 km where I decided to stop at a refreshment drink two sips of water. At the sign of my 10 km time trial 50 minutes ago ... Peter is a human metronome! Here's the rest, I take the bottle, and I stop to drink two sips, then I can not ripartoPurtroppo to drink while running! Shortly after we enter a Borgotrebbia, must have been more or less the time of the Mass in fact I saw on board starda families with children who continued to lie to the church applauded. We moved on the roadside to "give five" in some children.
Off to return to the city, and then straight Piazzale Torino, Via Manfredi, here we are almost at the American Bar where I have an appointment with a sort of "user RF" Peter I divert to the right, diagonally across ... and we are close to the American B, I see a little ' of people, then mom, dad and baby in a stroller, then later girl in a bike with a camera .... ...... bohh But that idiot I am, how I can try to identify a person that I've never seen ... Peter tells me: "saw you were looking for?" ... "Let it be ..." would be too long to explain the situation (that idiot I was!), But maybe he already knew ...
Anyways we are almost at 15 m or km, Peter tells me that because it slows down the 15th for today's okay .. Then at the 15th km of the clock and gives me 1:14. I stop even to supply of 15 to drink two sips of water (I'm not able to drink Menter run), then I get back to racing. Now appears next to me the other boy Matteo GP tells me, "Peter told me to get to 1: 44. Follow me.
He slowed down and took me for about 3km then I said goodbye because you could see he had one more step and I did not want to ruin the race coming in crisis ... But about the crisis .. .. I was waiting around the 16th km ... was 18 and was still going a bit 'over the 5 km!. Mah .. go ahead ... arrival at the entrance of the last faxal where there is supply. This time they give me a glass, I try to drink but I drink a sip and I then spit the rest back on the water that was in my mouth because I'd forgotten that I can not drink while I run!
The false floor of the first part of faxall makes me slow down but I do not FEGA much, I look a bit 'in back and I recall the years when a student walked this area .... Prehistory! Check on the course and do the last mile to 4:54. Arrive at 100 meters from the arrival and all the people who incited the participants. I do not know where I got the e enrgie, but I do a sprint. (The last 100 meters my garmin says I've made a 3:25 min KMI). Pass the finish line with arms raised, then I stop and I block the time .... 1:45:26 Fucking cow I made my PB !!!!!!
TDS says 1:45:19, but does not say how much I enjoyed it !!!!!
thanks to Peter .. twice that ride with him twice ... I do my PB will be a chance?
