This morning more than 1,200 people ran the Ostia's 30 km race was well organised: beautiful track and a lot of refreshment points. This time the loot wasn't heavy enough :) ... an orange running shirt only!
We ran the first 5 km along the river and next to green fieds and pinewood. From the 5th to the 8th km we ran next to the beautifully preserved roman ruins of Ostia. Wonderful! After we had run next to naval factories situated on the Tiber river we ran along the Tyrrhenian sea from the 11st to the 19th km. The wind was strong enough and we ran against it!

Finally we ran through the Castel Fusano Park, which is characterised by a typical mediterranea coastal environment. The landscape showed me the colours of Autumn and I enjoyed them while I was running.
During the race Stefano helped me to maintain the average pace and our goal was under 3 hours. I was delighted with my time taken: 2 hours, 52 minutes and 47 seconds.
I have never run a marathon but now I've just run a 30 km race :)
I hope all you blogger friends will have a nice weekend!

A very nice morning of sport. Congrats for your first 30 km.... even if the km were 30,240 !!!!!
fantastic Giorgio - the big distance is next!
Congratulations, Giorgio. You are so ready for the marathon. Only :) 12 km more and you have it.
I am quite envious of the beautiful and historical places you guys run even if the loot is so, so.
Congratulations to you - a new distance and a new PR - and it sounds like you really enjoyed yourself!
Congratulations! Great result running 30K when you're longest distance was 21K. I bet you can run a full marathon without problems too.
Sounds like a great race to me.
Great job! I see a marathon in your future!
Wow huge congratulations - fantastic to run a 30km race so well. I definitely think you are ready to train for a marathon - woo hoo!
Congratulations Giorgio! Sounds like you had a very good race. 30km is a very nice distance. We have lots of 32km (20mile) races here in SA and i always enjoy them. You can certainly now think about a marathon...
Hurray!!!!!! :-)
