MTB-O: Long & italian relay champs



orientation is not a sport that ends with the race itself. It lives in rather different times that put together gives his unique and inimitable pleasure.
The race starts the week before when we run to read the press notice, to look for some news items, some piece of paper or some pictures that make at least imagine what we will wait for tomorrow. In the days before the race start to see the list of members before and starting grids and then so you can study our opponents and prepare the tactics to be adopted.
The night before (or more often on the morning of the race) is preparing the bag with all the paraphernalia of the case. Then meeting with his teammates (usually a cap and brioche at Bar Cusso there are fine) and transfer to the designated destination.
Now is anxiously awaiting the departure of long chiaccerate made with friends-enemies. A dangerous practice, which often runs the risk of me being late to start. What happens next is what is between start and finish and it's called competition. The competitive performance, a clumsy attempt many times, others run to the wrong destination designated holding a map of the race.
And then? Well one would say that it's over. And instead it is here that beauty. Already
refreshment meet opponents who reached the targets become friends again and you start to trade considerations and improbable paths marked on the map, comparing point by point with the package of split time just given to the tent of the exhaust. The restaurant will move soon to the bar where they await the awards ceremony and the sad homecoming. The weekend is over and with it the race ... And
But no! We have to download the results, compare the spits, a tour of all the blogs participating in the competition going to see the photo albums, training with his teammates continued discussions guidance.
a short notice may extend well beyond dell'oretta competition and normally can take the whole week previous and following the event.

You may wonder at this point the reason for this preamble. The reason is that some races are born and end with the race itself, without much information provided before or after many considerations. Others will remain alive and vivid in the minds of the East for a long time it sort of is racing dell'Erebus, or better-era team. An impressive website complete and current, and always funny and witty blog protracted the joy of the race even in the days to follow. More unique than rare, upon arrival at home, turning on the PC and I am already ranking and the splits of the race. A few hours later cards appearing race with the locations of major categories. The next day we already have the complete results of scores on the website of fixedly and two photo albums full of photos. So with the Er
Team that organizes, do not you go to a race of orientation, but you participate in a memorable event. Even more so in this case, which was set in motion an organizational machine so impressive for just 150 people who mountain bike orientation. And none of them practice and is particularly interested in this branch of our beloved discipline.

The two races that came out were very nice. The new laws permasso me to read much better than the competition map. The sometimes very rough terrain, has nevertheless been less treacherous (especially the second day) than I thought. To my great pleasure, since I'm not to much to go mountain biking. The relay race on Saturday was marred by a mistake at the second change that has made me lose touch with a good little train that could pull me to the finish. Sunday's race but it was much better. Although it has been decided on where I is long and the winner by picking a low we have trimmed the enormity of opponents who have gone to the point above.
At the end I can say I enjoyed these two days, which I can not always say of my racing bike. Especially on land too technical in terms of cycling In fact, I can not enjoy myself much. But at the Asiago alternative treatment techniques with other fast intrigued me greatly, making me rediscover that feeling with the MTB-O that I missed the race last year Fimon.

Used To Fold Clothes On Big Bang Theory

20 ° Cup race in Trentino Val Piana - Primiero

the long-awaited return at last Trentino mountains! After the gentle hills macroform Hungarians, after a sprint in the historic center and to fund an indecipherable map of Sfruz, even after the Italian championships thorny. After all this, back to running up and down the mountains.
The path that has been studied very physical Tuzzi (rarely in a race orenteering I managed to go so often in trouble. And find the lantern in such cases is very complicated), but it was too technical which seem, with a bunch of lanterns difficult choices with which they succeeded trattone never trivial. I think it's still up for discussion is leading to the lantern 17, Miska Rigoni and that after this good time to admit that this is the choice of low brothers Dallavalle was better (one minute at their speed - a bit 'of most of my ...).
Fun with such a path is provided from start to the finish, where he collapsed to the ground and make myself soothed by a soft breeze gently lying on soft grass that is home to the finish. I recover well from what is perhaps hard was the most intense and challenging race memories. The result lap, although I relegates the bottom of the rankings, is good. Today only the best athletes in the movement have chosen to engage in MA and it was therefore impossible to think of being in front of them. But the gaps are included (superbig separately - see Miska and Rigoni, for example), even with the help of some interesting train along the route.
legal assistance on the first Auser trattone helps me to keep a high pace all along the route. Too bad only one inaccuracy in the points that made us a couple of minutes. With an impressive Jonny faces a more technical area and I am impressed by his speed combined with accuracy in finding lanterns. Devastating was instead trying to keep the duo Stefano - Cinnamon I reached towards the end of trattona long (we went all three high on the choice, as understood by Miska). After the more technical part have a gear high and constant that forced me to leave soon. While their flies to the finish line, I riagguantavo Auser with him and I started to look for the latest lanterns.

Why Would A Knee Be Numb With Scatica

long Italian Championships - Mount Moriah

I do not know whether to try another useless description of my race, on the other bad, or overshadow the subject and talk about something else. Of course, the very thick woods and dirt in some places it was quite difficult, at least for a used Trentino (Predaia separately) running in areas corribili and good visibility. I went down expecting Piacentino in scenarios like those of Monte Livata with conifers and ground fast. Instead I ran into walls of brambles and thick vegetation. For most of the 15,000 race on Saturday did not help me much to decipher the map. Not at all ... In the end though it was a pleasant and interesting experience in areas where I rarely to compete.

As every year the appointment of the championships and Long Relay is the race of the season, the race not to be missed and who do their best. This is true at least for most of the guidelines. For me, this is not true.
The fact that it can not run Elite race in Long relegates me to do yet another competition in the contour MA. And while this is good because I can say that it is still safe and sound (otherwise I would say after a race in ME), on the other I'm not at all enjoy the Italian long-distance championships. In the Middle and Sprint in comparison with the first class is guaranteed. You do not. And I do not understand why. Certainly takes quite a bit 'more of the champions to take the path. But I think in the end, undermine the organizers of the event. Roberto Sartori has micca imposed constraints of O-marathon competitors who, a few km more than the ME has it. And not for them this is still looking for the latest missing. Indeed is looking for entrants for the race next year, which convinced me to participate.
As for the relay but the trio of Panda to which I belong in no way compete with the strongest Italian teams and fight for a position in the 15 is not much exciting. All the more so for the time ennasima I can not enjoy the unique beauty of the launch ...

the end the real reason that takes me two days to go and this is therefore the home sports, but rather human. In fact the Italian championships we meet everyone, but everyone gathered for two days of sport and entertainment. Meet those friends who had abandoned the adventure with the latest events in June (Not to mention that I also find the irreducible Garette promotion of August or the warm fiemazi Thursday night) and you can do with their new party, gather together as one big family. Even at the corporate level this meeting is important and gives me the opportunity to learn more about individual team members and to strengthen relationship with them that the only appearance at the regional competitions often are ignored. PS

new suits have arrived in the panda. How nice!
