Tough race

On a cloudy Sunday we ran the Montalto's race along an odd and tough track of 9.6 km. My time taken was 41:17 minutes and I was really delighted with my average pace of 4:18 min./Km, considering the hilly route. The town of Montalto and its old castle are situated on the hill, of consequence the running path is always tough. Stefano ran a good race and his average pace was 4.46 min./Km. You can read the Black Knight's report. He didn't destroy the biggest tower of the Montalto's castle which you can see in the photo below :)  


As request by Char from Brisbane, Australia, I show the loot here below.

Nice week to everyone!

Seems you have really earned your loot, Giorgio. Hope you got to celebrate the victorious battle.

Hai vinto olio ... quindi olio di ricino per i prossimi prigionieri che faremo o per il tuo scudiero se preferisci! Bellissima la foto della torre! Complimenti per il tempo finale, penso sia il tuo PR. Venerdì non penso che verrò con voi perchè se ce la faccio ad alzarmi presto proverò a fare un bel lungo. Tanto ci teniamo in contatto.
