It took place this morning, the Giro del Lago di Varese, 25 km race, which was endorsed Fidal along the road along the lake. Good participation despite the combination races with far more noble: at the start there were 1040 athletes, including, for the athlete Fornace, Massi and Ska.
excellent organization: in the 25 km race we have not seen a car through the total closure of the road, refreshment and sponge alternating every 2.5 km.
Satisfaction of our test: Massa closes with a time of 1 hour 56 and 36 seconds, I in 1 hour 58 minutes and 43 seconds.
After a long absence from the classic races of our province, this morning I Massi and we decided to run the 13 th Walk in Castiglione del Cardinale Olona, \u200b\u200btaking advantage of the opportunity to make a good last training session ahead of the Giro del Lago of next week.
Excellent turnout of runners: the starters to the 1130 competition organized by impeccably GS Walker San Carlo di Varese. Race suitable for every type of athlete: the paths it measured 6, 14 and 21 km.
Depart from the Fishermen at the Lake of Castiglione Olona. After skirting the river Olona and "climbed" the tough climb to Castelseprio at 8 km we entered the woods, where the route was hard for the presence of mud and puddles due to the rain of recent days. Even in the woods the ups and downs out there, and our attention was all about preserving the ankles by the numerous traps soil, but despite this a couple of falls per person has slowed our pace. The second part of the race took place mostly in the woods, passing the towns of Castelseprio, Gorn, Moray and then back again to Castiglione.
At the finish marked the GPS just over 20 km ... we looked and we continued for another km ... just to complete a half marathon. Eventually the tracks were 21.4 km in 1 hour and 52 minutes, passing tourists, but today I had the time, the lake is waiting for us!
Athletes Foot Gold today signed up for the 14th Mercallo chimneys of Sass is available in the comment Blog Beppe.
took place on Sunday the 37th-Cittiglio Vararo, race included in the regional calendar Fidal organized Verbano from athletics.
travel uphill, all on asphalt, for a length of 6.750 km and a vertical drop of 500 meters. Good turnout despite the combination of the race from the Golden Foot in Berne (I refer to the comment Beppe) and the path not just the most simple, the way there were 117 members present for the Athletics La Fornace Massi and Ska.
Path almost flat for the first 1200 meters where there is the sprint and a line drawn on the asphalt marks the beginning of the real ascent showing no signs of giving up to 4 km, where the road levels out for a few meters giving the ability to breathe, and then start to soar to the finish. The return to Cittiglio was definitely easier because it was all downhill ...
race won by Filippo Ba (Atl. Cento Torri Pavia) in 27'15 ", 2nd place in Fabio Caldirola (Corradini Rubiera) in 28'30 "to close the podium Matthew Raimondi (Athletics Palzola) in 29'11".
Among womenvictory Elisa Masciocchi (Athletics 3V) in 35'56 ", 2nd place Elizabeth Gregory (Runners Valbossa) 36'08", 3 rd place Cinzia Passera (Runners Valbossa) 37'04 ".

After the race Sunday Orago last night the appointment was with a workout in climb ... and what better place than the Holy Mountain?
Depart 19:30Beppe present, the brothers Mark and Andrea Frigo, Massi, Cristiano Marchesin, Mauro Toniolo and Ska. First part of the route on the plains just to prepare the legs to climb that starts at the entrance of the street and continue along the path Oronce Convertino to finish at the first chapel. This time, unlike before, you opt for the climb from the chapels instead of the road. The slopes are felt and Beppe, Mauro and Chris do a different sport now and we lose sight of. The group meets at the top of the Sacred Mountain and is set back from the paved road passing through this time. In total we covered 14 km in 1h 13 min.
