Will is power! This Sunday Marzio has hit its goal the first time: under three hours to the first marathon!
Saturday we went to Lucerne where we waited for the Sunday marathon. Together we came also his friend Fabrizio (Fabrizio's good to ... :-) We chose a marathon not easy in terms of altitude, but very exciting because there is always a cheering incredible. I was a 21-mile loop twice. It started with those who ran the half marathon (we were in 8000). I expect the task to dictate the pace. After 10 minutes of warm soft 5 minutes from the start we have placed in the front row :-):-):-) ... I told him in March: "Just shoot the shot we get quiet on the left and extends his elbows ... If you see one with the balloon of 3 hours that goes away do not worry, most start too fast, we first km we still warm up well. "
Step to the first 1000 in 4:27 and at that time there over 3 hours of the balloon that had been bottled. switchover 2 km mark in 4:20, the one with the balloon shot a 4 ... I did not dry words ... The first km was a mess: we ran with a lot of attention without making risky overtaking. From the 5th to the 12th km on down the path was not easy, but I am very well set up to run these routes . At the 10 km mark we passed with 50 in 43.20 seconds behind the table, but it was what I had expected, since in practice often run with Marzio knew that even if we had made the mile to 4:07 / 8 had no problems. In Meanwhile he saw a balloon but was 1:30 a.m. to about half (at least one that runs with salt for brains ...). Marzio began to run between 4.10/15 and I was looking at 4-5 feet every now and then he turned to see where I was but I told him do not worry that you keep an eye on ... :-) At the 17 km mark
took the balloon to 1:30 a.m. and at that point I said, "until the halfway point did not pass." We passed the half in 1:30:04 just like I wanted. Just for the record, the balloon is past 3 o'clock in 1:28:40 ... Up to 26 km then ran side by side there were some very challenging uphill sections where I stand before trying to advise him on how to address the climbs. At 28 km Mars asked me to tell him something nice I will I talked about what we did after the race. Meanwhile, we saw that gained on the balloon 3 o'clock. At the 32 km mark I told him I was running well, very composed, plus a flurry of words to encourage it (I was waiting for a signal from him ... and here comes ...). Marzio told me: "Just do not talk more!"
was time to drive out the bad thoughts in the heads of March, I have placed in front to pace, I thought: Now I have to run behind or else you lose your train ... In course 2 km to 4:07 / 8 take the balloon 3 o'clock, I turn around and say in March: now we have to stay with him for a few miles, but just a few meters and I reach the refueling step change to take food, allotment Marzio and I see that he had already surpassed that of 3h with those poor souls who were 5 clung to the wire ... I thought: fuck it's done, we are! I reached him, he did not say anything, and I start to pace. At the 35th over me (but where the hell is going ???). After 300 meters turn and I say it now: there are, there are. At 36 ° the risupero and are known to a few meters in front of 10-15 meters, I ran with a stopwatch in hand there was no time to slow down, I took care of him always with one eye and still ran very well at 38 ° I slowed down a bit 'to ensure that approached a bit' but as soon as I arrived at 5 meters distributed. It was necessary to keep the pace steady and your mind occupied. From then on, often plant a few encourage it to cry, sometimes take up to 20 meters but I felt a skin that did everything to not let me go. We arrive at the 40th in 2:50 split. With this step we arrive at 2:59 a.m., the supply of 41 ° 30 I stop, I take two glasses, I turn 180 degrees and see Marzio arrive in full thrust but began to falter when it slows down ... I supported him on the shoulder to get a lead, took the glass and drank. Meanwhile I had another drink in my hand I was going to drink while leaning on his lips, Marzio has snatched me :-) ... I told him to drink a glass of salt. Meanwhile, this trial did not stop fucking. I look at him in the eye and say, 'Look, we can succeed do, we must succeed! "We share the 100 meters and do a CAT scan: coordinatissimo pushed again. At that point I have to do the staccato rhythm that he could give us the opportunity to build this wonderful company. There 's I was always behind with 10.15 meters. I now I was beside myself. ... I kept screaming Arrived on the final straight I looked at the scoreboard and I saw Mars at 20-25 meters from 20 meters away from me ... I finally stopped in the middle of the red carpet and screamed and pointed to the scoreboard. Incredible 30 meters from the end made a deadly change of pace. While crossed the finish line I looked at the scoreboard that marked 2:59 a.m., 59. Then with the real time Marzio concluded with time
2:59 a.m., 56 !
This last 1200 meters
Marzio went to find something that we have within
of us, beyond the mind!
TORERO!
