Marina di Curinga - 03 October. Like every year there is an appointment in the sandy pine Curinga (CZ) and near the Tyrrhenian Sea.
You will come back to sea, this time on the Ionian, a Borgia, through unspoilt countryside and many welcoming public. The Super Marathon
Dure Mari of 57 km, almost an Eco Trail on asphalt, organized by my company, the blades Violettaclub aunt Terme.
Now in its 7th edition, an event that deserves much more attention than they received it yet, is slowly growing.
This year, as a valid test Italian Championship Relay Fire Department has seen a massive presence from various commands throughout Italy.
The logistic support and different vehicles to service the event has certainly benefited the organizational machine that itself is the best to assist all athletes during the journey.
The difficult point of this type of racing is, in fact, full coverage of a specific path, undulating across the region Calabria Coast to Coast for over 57 Km
commitments multiply and can not get enough support and the help of volunteers around the route.
But this year there has been a leap in quality.
by the presence of a large group of cyclists to serve individually to each relay, in the presence of more than enough refreshment complete with everything you need to replenish the energies of those who may also employ more than 6 hours to complete the route, the official timing and precise of Sportaction (chip Championchip) which regulates changes to 19 km of each element of the relay.
As mentioned, the beautiful scenery of nature, colors and landscapes that to me, particularly, have recalled a not too distant past made so many good memories on these roads. The
beautiful day, not too hot, allowed anyone to run a little peace of mind in the many ups and downs in the green or the long straight at the side of the country with farms and fields with olive trees.
But the fun is at the end of the path! Being able to see, 1 km from the sea end, the other coast, is a great feeling that is reached and you can touch with a refreshing bath, ideal in a post - race so challenging.
And with all the calm that can give you a day Sunday, bullied away from football for us fans of real racing, enjoy a full meal complete with appetizer, first and second offered by the Camp, which hosted the meeting and the awarding of the post - race. who came to the podium he was surprised to find a premium different from the usual cup, finally! After the experience of
Marathon last April in Cosenza , joins the trio of Despair : Bonaddio - Monti - The Piccolo.
Born by accident and much to joke about it, formed to meet the other athletes in the absence of many Violettaclub, we find ourselves at the start of this wonderful adventure uncertain about our fate.
Due to the unavailability of the components of team (mostly due to geographic or other commitments outside sports) have been implicated athletes, with mixed success, have demonstrated over time attachment to "vest" This social response to every call. Gianluca
Ciccio and certainly praise!
On Saturday, none of us knew what could be done, partly because of the 52 runners who finished the day after the worst offenders could come from the Fire Department training athletes with excellent regular runners.
For my part, I remained quiet, knowing that the condition is growing and that the week, despite a particularly stressful life for a number of commitments, had produced a fair amount of work.
arrangements with two other members of the Trio, I appended as the last relay race, only to be able to run strong in the sections descent.
The boys felt safer in the rough up and down the first 40 km e. .. :-) I have satisfied
Sunday, October 3. The Navy
Curinga to 09:30 (departure of the relay, an hour before the 57 km individual) shines with light reflected from the sea ---> will be very hot!
Km 0 to 19 Prime as Gianluca, struggling with a nagging groin, spur begins to beat but after the spring 5 km to the group of Firefighters head starts to suffer.
We follow him in the car (as authorized in support organization for all) and as the route passes manages the efforts of the first part characterized by a long stretch of uphill and downhill more and more pending.
detachment increases, the crisis progresses, but the delay remains around the 2'30 "when the change is to take Ciccio Mountains.
Km 19 to 38 Monti, in excellent form, demonstrated by his performances on the track Agostini and competition, pulls like a train and show a lot of ease in the various sections of ups and downs of this long rough stretch from the slopes spaccagambe.
He, too, in trouble in the long downhill stretches, the gap remains almost unchanged accumulating only 41 "of separation from of relay.
Km 38-57 (Arrival)
I do not know what it takes.
But the week had been particularly pressing, always at home later than 20:00 (the end of training).
last weekend with a high breath I feel another person. The
ankle pain, but this less and less, I am not a little heartened. Before the arrival of
Ciccio (which seemed to sprint Saving Silverman!) I spoke with the Vice - Coach Peppe (present with Sportaction) of how to recover this posting.
fact is that the "Touch" Mountains of the legs start to run just fine: I see a 9'07 "to 3K and a 15'47" to the 5K.
Maybe I exaggerated, but how good it was to pull it!
were enough to see these few kilometers away from the head of the Firefighters brackets.
By that point the finger, from a distance, and within a few kilometers join him.
After that, I continue with my pitch: 31'59 "at 10K and alternating with light strokes up and down (but still sliding) I settles for a quieter pace of 3'16" -3 '20 "/ km
Latest 3K is a long straight, but as I said, you get to see the sea from afar.
I continue with serenity, I would still push much of the last K not see the inflatable target positioned in the corners and hidden to my arrival winning visual e. ..!
My partial 1h02'12 "(3'16 19K in" / km) gives the comeback victory of Baton Violettaclub.
The ranking sees us excel in 3h 24 '37 "and it remains the recrimination not to have gone too far from
Before the race of 3h 20 '(Cuzzo - Little - Duke). a shame, but who expected it to be a team of emergency? ;-)
Belle tests of many other Team Violettaclub team, with the first place and again before the stroke of the medley relay (Najib Maktoum - Anthony Loria - Palma De Leo) and the other at the 33rd place overall Mista ( Without De Pasquale, Horace Marzio, Rossella Fazio) for attachment to the company can stay in the leading positions.
only 10 classified in the individual and I think this is to remove the mole for the next edition, especially in the North to promote the Long Distances many fans of this wonderful event.
Unfortunately, the publicity of the event plays a vital role in the success of an event.
E 'was great to go back with my mind and legs many years of training, I hope to be happy again, next year.
