Yesterday finally we took part in the 3rd edition of the Marathon at 8 am from Grange Alpina.Partenza Brione (Barera Palace). Many participants, I think about 200.
Some familiar faces, photos of various friends .... rite at the start ....
The weather was uncertain until the last, so much so that neither Gary nor Claudius, nor I knew well what to wear ... but there was a good temperature, without a drop of rain.
I start to sweat on the first hairpin turns that lead to Rosselli, so much so that Gary and Claudio take some 'advantage, but arrival at the top with a good time.

not work hard either to get to the hill Lunella, nor to Portia (18 km) ... these are km in the company of Miguel, a English boy in Italy for a PhD. .. here there is still plenty of snow on the course.
Finally we arrive at the half, with the Lys ... and from here it gets really hard climb Mount Arpone. (At the top are almost 23 km).
The top of the hill then to Our Lady of the Low (25 km), and then again up at the Mont Curt (28 km) ... here begins some cramping but it passes almost immediately.
When I reach down and Claudio Gaetano and 5 others do Bassetta and the last hill of the roughness, the Musinè (32.5 km). The descent is tough anyway, now my legs hurt, but then stretches Gaetano bunched on Dumini floor.
Just a few km, but there is still a bit 'up and down on uneven and muddy paths.
arrive a few minutes apart from each other ... after I close them in 7 hours and 11 minutes.
We thought both a bit 'below, but it worked well.
During the final banquet, which was to be sick so you could food, I decided to enroll
Chaberton Marathon to be held on 1 August.
Good racing to all.
