missing a few days at the start of one of the biggest races, participate in and love of Italy, the Rome - Ostia. Now in its thirty-fifth edition this competition has always attracted a lot of runners. Ivana always tells me, but what has been up to?
But I know she does not like the races where there are long straights, says he gets tired just trying to see the end.
instead I have always liked this race, you can not set a good pace and take it for several miles. However, in my opinion has a couple of pitfalls that should not be ignored, that is a nice climb that lies somewhere between the seventh and ninth mile and should be dealt with tranquility, is still a long way to go. Other small trap (always in my humble opinion) consists of the final four kilometers, courses on the seafront in Ostia along two kilometers in one direction and another two in the opposite direction. When you reach the top of these four kilometers, the feeling is that we have arrived, it is already apparent with the arrival of the athletes involved in the final sprint, this is where you can make the mistake of increasing the pace now as if missing little. Remember that you are still waiting for four kilometers!
This year, unfortunately, not participate in this race, but I will try to immerse myself in this festive atmosphere trying to give my contribution to the relief that Running is asked to provide. I still remember last year, passed the eleventh km was like having an extra push, a real office. It 'been a festival of colors, music and energy. It will also be waiting for us full of fear and tension, which will break when the first athlete will take the first drink. I will try to incite each of the participants hoping to ease their hardships and urging them toward the finish line in such a way as to remind everyone that this race for the rest of the eleventh mile.
