Wow ... that last! The great day, the organization and the high public support throughout the tour ... It was fantastic!
We went very early to leave the clothes in cloakroom and live the atmosphere of this wonder. At 8:30 departure time came and a little later he turned out popular ... of 15,075 participants, said soon.
My brother Gabino, as well as Gustavo, left in a box behind me. Hector did not know who participated did a fantastic time below 3 o'clock. 30 ', which was my goal. And I also met Alex that despite not having trained in the last month has made a time below 3:45. Also involving two fellow Italian Simone and Nicola, realizing their goals. The won has fallen to 1 "of the test record!!
Sali 3rd km preserving and had to make a technical stop, a" pee break "bad because I knew I had to do at the Nou Camp ;-( but it was necessary to achieve a good pace that kept below 25 'every 5km. I won a small mattress about 3', so the pass half marathon in 1h. 42 '57 " and I was fine, saw that I could achieve my goal so I continued with my pace of 5 '/ km.
At km 22 I met with Jose L. Barcia was going at a pace similar to mine but on the km. 27 decide to let it go because I saw was something stronger than me and still remained a lot. There I found a trick the DJ Javi that for me to get "Eye of the Tiger" just at that moment! (By Javi, a detallazo !!!). Javi accompany me to km. 30.
From there came the closest stretch of beach and the dreaded "wall." It went well but saw that my time was beginning to grow and the km. 35 or 36 I saw that I ate the mattress I had won. At that time I took the last gel and thought that I could tighten but the legs began to weigh myself so at 38 km, more or less in the cathedral, I passed the "pacemakers" of 3h 30 ', to which I could not follow. Those last miles lost some pace but this time I had prepared something better mentally and finish at 3am. 32 '23 ".
emphasize the atmosphere in ... made my hair stand on end by the Torre Agbar, which reminded me of the Tour as it passes through the Tourmalet or the Breakheart Hill RT Zurich where you have to go through a narrow passage where people not to cheer for ... and stressed the organization, excellent, with enough supplies in no time. The downside
David put it, unfortunately, gave it a tug ... but then when you see how many people just, you see that is quite normal. Still, just his first marathon. A mi, 38 km dessde gave me threats of strained hamstring that could endure. I hope you recover soon and return to silver new challenges.
round off this great experience, met Gustavo (Ibizatri) and his beautiful family, a great guy ... and never better by how big it is! and we re-encounter Oscarjet was to support his brother ... you will see when we are in a competition. And now ... THE REST OF THE WARRIOR.
Pain is temporary, but pride is forever ... and today I am proud to have finished my first marathon, although I must admit it's hard!
