... There will be some water to prevent this latest undertaking is accomplished! ...
This was the final sentence of the commentary to the previous post and Ugo convinced of what I was getting ready to face my seventh marathon (not many, but enough to have a bit of experience).
Fixed doubt about what you put me start at the start along with Ivana (Giampy dear I always carry it with me, without her I would not go anywhere) and other friends of Running. Pending
shooting us shelter under a gazebo and when there was now little more than half an hour at the beginning of the twenty-fifth edition of the Florence Marathon happens that every marathon runner would not have wanted that to happen. It starts to rain.

late So in cages waiting to enter the last moment. Despite everything we beaks twenty minutes of rain. It starts so all dripping wet and shivering. I do not deny that just before the start I was thinking of retiring if he had not stopped raining, the cold was taking over. I decided then to hold the waterproof bag up to five kilometers trying to speed up the heating and a shirt that I put to warm up to the tenth. Fortunately, with the passage of kilometers the weather improves.
The race was a tactic to try to suffer as little as possible, since my preparation consisted of a "long" is only 25km. My goal was actually to finish the race within four hours. He decides to try the technique of Galloway running for five minutes and walking for one minute. And so it was, except for crossing the old bridge and the cathedral square, was so nice to spend between two wings of a crowd that cheered you that you could not disappoint them stopping. A small decrease in my walk I had around 32 km mark in the Cascine, but I expected it, after all the preparation was poor. I recover only three kilometers from my parents when I meet who give me the incentive and the charge needed to address the latest efforts. At the 41 km mark Ivana meeting as a guardian angel who has followed me all the way, morale is very high, I feel that the goal is reached, I tell her to go to capture the arrival with one of her beautiful photos of my arrival .
I feel I feel good and basically have not suffered much. The last 400 meters are a succession of very strong emotions, encouragement of Calogero, the incitement of Mauro pass me the Orange flag, cheering Ugo Marco and Teresa, the final push to the arrival of Ivana and with arms raised the flag. I've done it, 3h55'21 "that means under 4 hours.
