Sunday, March 21 there was the Golden Boot , the half marathon in Vigevano, it was my first participation in this competition and I will say that the organization was very well maintained.
The departure took place on the tartan athletics track Municipal Stadium "Dante Merlo" where they found more than 1500 athletes.
For the first time I experienced the starting grid with the time, I must say I am not wrong, allow athletes who have different rates not to hamper too much during the race.
The first part of the route has been held in the town through the Castello Sforzesco and Piazza Ducale, then we have also out of town in the area of \u200b\u200bBucella.
As you can see from the image below.
After touring the countryside has been the arrival on the track Athletics Stadium, this gave the race a greater sense of formality, it is nice to leave and get on the track field of athletics, has also allowed for a fun sprint
:-) I finished the race with a time of real 1:41:56, improving 15 seconds my best performance on the half marathon was that the Corripavia of 2008.
The next half-marathon will be the Corripavia of 2010 hunt for new records.
To prepare for this race I had done both of the training focused on walking distance in two weeks 13 and 15 km (unfortunately I could not do a workout up to 21 km as I had promised myself) and a race the week before at the Ex-Campo CONI di Pavia, l ' now on track.
This race was part of the fifth round of criterium UISP Coop Lombardia Province of Pavia.
The purpose of the race was possible travel more miles in 1 hour.
The race took place on a spring day with temperatures around 5-7 degrees.
The race went pretty well considering that was my first time on the track, I finished third grade and because of this race have jumped to second place overall, but we are only 5 games out of 26, the road is :-) There are still a long
two points to make to my performance is a body posture during the race, I'll have impeganare to improve the way we run and the second is doing the first few kilometers at a pace too sustained (3-4 min / km) for my level, that made me make trouble in the middle of the race, but you learn wrong
:-) But in the end I finished third grade.
Now we are waiting the next rounds of the championship UISP the Straticino , Care Carpignano and Corteleona .
