This morning, as soon as we arrived to Montalto (about 130 km North from Rome), we quickly understood that the organization was really good. Near the finish line there were five tables with bananas, cakes, orange juice, water and other food and drinks.
We saw more than 400 runners who were doing the warm-up around the Montalto's castle. After we had gotten our number we met Paola, from Italian Running Mom, and other running friends from our town. While we were running we didn't see cars or pedestrians along the track and there were pictures which indicated kilometres. I ran 41.29 minutes through a beautiful countryside and along an undulate route. The average pace was 4.20 min./km and I was 9th in my age group. Consequently, I got a good loot (wine, coffee and pasta). The first 10 of each age group got a loot.
Congrats to Stefano ( Black Knight ) and Paola ( Italian Running Mom ) who were both fourth in their age groups! Of course, their loot was more beautiful than mine :)
In the photo you can see the three Black Knights. That photo had been taken before we ran the Civitavecchia's 12 km "Vivicittà" race on April, 3rd.Nice week to all my blogger friends!
