Three and a half months to prepare it well, and then you play all in one day,
never underestimate this distance, especially if you point to a clear objective lap,
this and 'my personal thought, the second experience.
The emotions were so many, and as strong as the first time, many comrades in this adventure,
already 'metro station the atmosphere was warm and the excitement and festive atmosphere involving
other riders, industry professionals in the work, and sports fans in the city center directly with us.
arrive in Piazza Castello, where there 'arrival in the courtyard adjacent to the armory real
we head towards the gates of the Palatine and reach the Duomo square where the bag deposit
and changed us for the race. The temperature and 'acceptable despite being in the middle' November
the sky, puffy clouds but not rain;
I see my friends in the eyes of the excitement and adrenaline skyrockets,
today Mastrosimone, and Buscemi Nanotti and 'their first marathon ...
reached the point of departure and 'move more' forward one hundred yards from last year, about 2,600 runners are
prancing, we are about half 'of the group, say the center ..
begin launches of old shirts and plastic bags to the edges, which are used to cover while waiting for too cool not to the muscles, the speaker loudly greets all present and athletes,
sang the hymn di Mameli "We are ready to Italy death cry 'Siiiii "!!!!!! PARTIES!
The snake moves along, I walk for about 20 seconds, take away some ', we headed
Murazzi my pace and, at around the 5 km, too fast!
I have to slow down, I set for myself at least the first 5 km of running at an average of 5.30
but it 's almost impossible when you're transported to an enthusiastic crowd,
file away quickly from the crowd and I crop my own space, the control gps,
and I can finally set a steady pace at around the 5.17 km.
I find the exit of the underpass during Unita 'D'Italy, and I can ascorgere at the bottom of the hill of the snake
runners, compact and varied in colors, like a swollen river moves slower.
The sight and 'wonderful, we really are so many this morning, and the city' and to ourselves.
Unfortunately I lost in the excitement of having all my friends, but I do not feel alone
:-) I'm not even sure if I have exceeded or are behind me.
In the tunnel the air was heavy, felt hot and my face was dripping, but finally I'm out in minutes,
air and 'more' fresh, the GPS back to show signs of life, to my left I see the Po 'Valentino park, right
Palavela with the artificial lake, and Italy 61, the city' and beautiful and I run from God.
Finally after a few miles between Nicholasville and Borgaretto I reach my teammates,
order: Nanotti Max, whom I greet and wish him a good race, then Andrea Buscemi, and a little more 'on my pops
Raffaele De Luca, but I have no idea where it finished Mastrosimone .. A
Borgaretto had many friends, to expect, especially the relatives of Raphael, were very warm with us, and this could only give us an immense pleasure.
Manca 1 km to the center of Rivalta are very concentrated and more 'to look into the crowd my partner and my mother think of the effort and try to maintain a leisurely pace without getting carried away by too much enthusiasm.
greet and hug everyone pulling in the 5 km to the rise of Rivalta, a fool!
As the rhythm of the drums continues to charge are already 'at 24km, not to hear the voice of Raphael behind me, are in the ascent of Rivalta, both noble and feared by most,' but I seem indifferent and extension to the 30th km. Is' cause I know that there will be the thirtieth 'cheer for all my comrades in the Certosa, while
guess my cousin a lot in front of me, but I smile and I'm happy' cause I imagine the joy that he, too, in a little 'will try' the finish line. That's over France, as expected, with its large public and ready to go so far in fondo.Vedo my sister running towards me with the trumpet in hand, then all the comrades in the feast of dining options, all UNDER VITO! they shouted, that's Andrew, who also has treasured my dates, I greet two blasts on the trumpet and I go down to the township Leumann,
in that area, many know me, and I continue to greet everyone.
Then check the overpass over France ..... that magically transforms into Mount Everest,
I realize that after my departure intelligent maybe I exaggerated a bit with the festivities, eh ... you set the fog.
km35 and I read a cool brick wall materializes in front of me, and the total darkness, those endless tracks straight and shiny that I saw before me where he ran a fast speed trains, vanish like a dream when you wake up after the bellissimo.Guardo ' clock to run more 'than three hours,
there are only 7 km miserable, and I think of how many times in training I had done without a bit of trouble ...
Yeah 'thank you but this is' the Marathon!
But what can you do, the emotions sometimes you can not control, and you forget most of the recommendations made by those 'experts in the days before.
I crawl for 3 miles without stopping, even though I tried to walk a bit '...
also accuses some cramping, go past that stage.
At this point I realize that the time that I set for myself and not 'more' within my reach.
The last 3 km to the public because I make them and their proximity to the finish,
see the show, I find the strength to push on his legs still seeking mercy '!
Here are the photographers, my partner screaming with joy, my mother come to see me for the first time in a race, I want to smile for the photos is good and hide the fact that I suffered to get here, I care little now
timing, 'cause I just finished my second marathon!
It is a small sample.
CONTINUES ..... hello everyone I'm John, what to say, there's little to add to the wonderful story of mo cousin Vito, the feelings that he has tried are the ones we've tried us, so I will write only the marathon from my point of view and from the story of who I was near the end of this wonderful experience. My alarm clock is played early in the morning of November 14 2010.Sono cumpà and cousin to pick up and we went underground where wax Mastrosimone waiting for us and other runners, including a boy named David that we did consciousness, his first maratona.Usciti meters from the thought of walking up to the piazza in the castle but instead we saw a bus and we took Buscemi also noi.Come said Vito we went to the arcades to change us, we have encountered another Carthusian Benincasa told me that he felt some pain, but since the time we put the past to have been close to starting grande.Alla Raffaele Vito back with a little more, after 2 km I saw my Coach, the balloon of 3 hours and 30 and I took it on the fly! the pace was perfect for me every time we lose 100m because I stop when I drink the salts (I can not running), but reaches them without effort, in wax and a lot of people this way is great, it charges you so that you do not feel fatigue, I saw cousins \u200b\u200bin Bruino Raffaele, my brother in law with my nephew Sergio Danilo in Orbassano, but my aunt and cousin Ninette Milena Rivalta , and each of them gives you joy and strength to climb that leads to Rivalta Rivoli in the refreshment I took three chinder chocolates to give to my child that I knew was waiting for me at the beginning of the course I had two Francia.Arrivato joys, see my family (I Gabry and gave a kiss to the little chocolates) and finally on the road after Raffaele discesa.Pultroppo I learned very early in the course of France had severe cramping, he even considered withdrawing, but thanks to the spirit of this sports and other kids helped him since he is one who never gives up he managed to ripartire.Arrivato the refreshment of the Charterhouse in Cascine Vica wax my cousin Giusy with India and his wife Patty and all the others that Carthusian I have given a warm welcome is a push to incredibile.Arrivato Collegno other greetings and pictures with my brother and my cousin Luigi Rossi arrives specially from Catania to see me run the Marathon (well perhaps come to work but I like to think so) below before the flyover also the father of Raphael showed me a picture, and I told him I was not too far from me Raffa Image not his troubles with the cramps. Now I and balloons were one, were missing on arrival and were 5 km even a couple of minutes early, but the trouble in a race so far are just around the corner, the unexpected can happen when you least expect it, and ifatti successo.A to me is one point I see a group with me that we were following the balloon to make the gesture of 3.30 when spread out his arms to catch more air, say to breathe better, I said to myself, I take great idea and the breathless pace never tempo.Non lavessi fact, I'm going to open my arms ...... Haiiiiiii an incredible pain behind his right thigh, buttock height, not lavevo never tried before, excruciating pain ... I had to stop walking, I could not move my leg, I thought to be what they call cramp, I cried, a second before I had a smile and a moment after my race was finishing my challenge, a few km to go, I was leaning against a tree and I pulled muscle, I tried again but limping, crawling, but I also said I have to get, even if one of the sponge advised me to retire, but you never listen to those who throw it down and after a few seconds I took my race but with much and carefully reviewing each movimento.Arrivato al rettilineo di via Roma ho pensato solo di stare nel tempo stabilito e cel'ho fatta per 30 secondi,è stata una gioia pazzescha e sentire la voce di mia Zia e Milena è stato determinante,anche se non mi sono girato verso di loro per paura dei crampi,all'arrivo cera anche Luca un bravissimo ragazzo amico di Vito che anche lui è un podista e spero che dopo questo racconto si decida a farla anche lui questa memorabile gara.Finita alle doccie mi ha raggiunto Raffaele e Mastrosimone,mentre Vito e dovuto andare a lavoro,onore a lui che dopo una maratona non molla mai.Abbiamo pranzato e brindato assieme e ognuno di noi ha una storia da raccontare dentro una grande storia che è la Maratona!!!!!!!!
