6 HOURS OF TEMPLARS (Basilicata)
BANZ ... in this village of only 1,800 inhabitants, I took part in this race with my wife, more to test the resistance of my back, that the classification.
in this town nestled in the Basilicata, I was received very well, right from the start by the villagers of Genzano (where I lodged) to the hotel (nice welcome, and where I ate very well) ... to all the volunteers always ready to listen and give answer.
Once seen little country, and I 'came naturally to ask if they had been able to organize, support, and bring back a race so challenging as a 6 hours ... Let's see how
and' round ...:
already from the night before, I carried the country (as they had a time machine) ... ...
the time of the Templars with their costumes (costumes that everyone could wear) provided free by the organization, and then celebrating with the pasta parties and local dances.
The next day you could not fail in anything ...
For all, there were large signs that indicate where they were all the various locations that could be of interest ... (information-bib-costume-party-pasta-bathroom-locker-storage bags-museums etc ...) all reported in an excellent manner.
Pregara race ... with children, dancing, and ready to party with so many costumes ... more pasta party. Race ...
location two kilometers (exact ... my satellite every round played in the same exact spot and did not move more than a meter in more or less), to be repeated until the end of six hours, the circuit well guarded, with two points where you could meet the other athletes to exchange jokes smile looks ... (and check if the opponent was tired ... heheeee).
Here the only thing I do not and '
liked ... I was expecting a flat track, or how gently undulating
... ... Instead of 2km of the route were only 200 meters flat, the rest was a continuous slight up and down ... I counted exactly 10 changes of pace every lap ... (like saying you could not keep the same pace for more than 200 m) ... this also means that in the long run the race was really tough, Final race with a beautiful ... found the end of six hours' was given with a feast of fireworks ... awards and a new pasta party ... well done.
Rather than describe my race (which has met my expectations and that of my wife) I preferred to describe the skill, commitment and passion that made this village to organize a great race for 10 and with praise ... race pack by re ... (long-sleeved technical shirt + oil + pasta + wine + coffee + biscuits + flour + more beer ... you can not), a race that I recommend to everyone.
PS until I was in the race, half (three hours) was 11th overall, 2nd class ...
PS my transition to the marathon was 3 hours, 24.00
PS ... then I stopped after 3 hours, 53.00 to 47 km when I was ... not to aggravate his back.
