What I did this year...
September, 25-26
Spartathlon
246 km from Athens to Sparta DNF
I dropped at km 156, with 90
km more to go... I had pain at my right foot, and I couldn't
run any more. I could only walk fast, but that's too slow
for Spartathlon! At check point #46 I was 5 minutes late,
and I was forced to drop.
August, 28-30
Mont Blanc
166 km around Mont Blanc
41:47:15
760th
I was running well until
mid-race (km 94, in Arnuva), but after that I could only
walk slowly toward Chamonix: I was too tired to run, and my
dead quads made my downhills painfull! Anyway, I finished
Ultra Trail Mont Blanc for the 4th time.
June, 27-28
Western States
100 miles trail in California
28:35:00
165th

A must for an ultrarunner! I'm
happy I finished the race, even if it was so hard! After
mile 70 I crashed down, and I just could walk till the
finish line... But I did it!
May, 23-24
Nove Colli Running
DNF
It was really too hot, and I
could hardly go on. At km 70 I preferred to stop, I had no
chance to go till the end! 130 more km were really too many!
April, 9
Oetzi Alpin Marathon

A nice triathlon, mtb, running
and skialp on the mountains where Oetzi, the Iceman, was
found.

Euganei

gain on the hill near Padua, with a lot of mud!!!
March, 22
100 km di
Seregno
ultramarathon near Milan
10:58:14
102th
I was non well trained for
this long race: let's say this was the first real run of the
year! I did well until km 70, then I had pain at my legs and
I had to alternate walking and running. Only in the last 5
km I tried to run as much as I could to finish in less than
11 hours, and I did it!

I had stomach problems during
the first part of the race, but then I recovered and I
finished well.

February, 8
Verona Marathon
3:47:00
It was just a training race,
and I'm happy I had no pain at my left foot, that gave me
some problems during the last 4 months! Now I can think
about next races and begin to train seriously...
