PASSATORE EMOTIONS AT GO GO
Castelbolognese, April 25, 2011, 50 km of Romagna. It is the first time that I run on this distance, for me who have around 25 marathons behind me, it means "putting your nose" in the ultra world and I decided to do it to pass lightly from 42, "so much 8 Km more what you...
MY BIONIC FRIEND
Dedicated to ... my bionic friend My "bionic" friend is called Enrica Oss Emer, a well-known face in the panorama of Perginian runners. Bionica is seriously bionic, in the sense that she has been running for two years with a small hip prosthesis. This fact certainly did not prevent her from continuing to run, from training...
A LONG DREAM 100 KM
A dream has finally come true: after the bad disappointment of last year (withdrawn in Marradi due to severe knee pain) and after 38 years since the first edition of the Passatore passed in front of my eyes as a child, I finally cut the finish line in Piazza del Popolo in Faenza. I write only...
BUT WHERE THEY BELIEVE TO GO THESE 7 PERGINESI?
WHAT THE CORTESE PASSATOR COMMENTS: "BUT WHERE DO THESE 7 PERGINESI BELIEVE TO GO?" A few months have passed (May 29), but it is one of those stages in the life of an athlete, young or old, strong or less strong, who remains impressed in his mind and heart for a long time. 100 km, from...
MY PASSATORE
I followed Fabrizio on this umpteenth adventure, I participated, trepidated, dreamed and supported the man I love in this wonderful show of strength and character. On 1 May, while we were waiting for the rice marathon to start in Vercelli, a boy told us about his experience as a "one hundred kilometer driver" and MY emperor...
THIS IS NOT A HEROIC ENDEAVOR
My Passatore? I would say that this is not a heroic endeavor as many praise in their stories, among blogs ... I prepared this race with 1300km in 6 months of training: 3 official marathons, one 50km, many training sessions with altitude differences, in all weather conditions (every runner occasionally has to rattle off his data !!!)....
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF ALL!
What prompted me to write a few lines about the most beautiful and fascinating race in the world, was the chance encounter about a month ago with my current sporting myth, unknown to large audiences but now famous along the Via Faentina. In fact, during a marathon I had the opportunity and above all the luck...
THE PASSATORE 2012: THE WISH TO BE THERE
Vincenzo Altamura (ASD Idea Events Marathon Siracusa) not new to the Passatore's 100 km, he returned again this year to race it together with a friend - also from Syracuse - Emanuele Miceli (ASD Archimede Siracusa), a neophyte of distance. This is the story that exposes the experiences of both. Who runs the first time the...
100 KM OF THE PASSATORE MAY 26, 2012
Dal racconto dell'Orco Camola Telling the experience of the Passatore is a bit complicated, you risk saying the usual things. After all, in a race the things you experience are always more or less the same: you get there, you run, you struggle, you come back and you start again. For the Passatore the same mechanisms apply...
A DREAM REALIZED
Il Passatore 26 - 27 May 2012 I will try to describe the emotions that I felt running and crossing the finish line of the 100 km of the Passatore. I state that the idea of participating in an ultra race had started flashing in my mind for the first time in November 2011; in the following...
100 KM OF EMOTIONS
26/27 May 2012 40th edition 100 KM of the Passatore In this simple gesture is hidden the memory of our slow and hard journey towards a vast and profound World ... I was there ... and with me the legendary friend Rossana; the support of our company A.S.D. Trail of the two lakes (our dear friends: Fabio...
PASSATORE 2012
What a trip !!!! Oh yes, because a 100km cannot be defined as such. And the Passatore for me remains THE JOURNEY. If I had to describe the emotions that you feel in running this race, I think that would not be enough not even 7h18 '..... already because even now after two days the emotions follow one...
“FACTS NOT WORDS”
In the meantime, let me introduce myself I am a participant (one like many No. 328) that I congratulated the lady (but I don't know the name) who before the distribution of the bibs did the kick-off with the volunteers and that in the end I reviewed and I did positive sign (with the finger .....
KNEELING FOR MY FIRST HUNDRED!
Crevalcore, Saturday 20 May 2012 at 4.04 magnitude 5.9 Not even the time to reflect on the terrorist act of Brindisi that we get back on our knees, awakened and afraid, at 4 in the morning, by a tremendous earthquake. In this mood, I finally decide to try to run the Passatore. I leave for Faenza on...
“THE NUMBER ONE”
Before starting my short story, I would like to thank the organizers, the volunteers and all the people who, despite the terrible moment of the earthquake in Emilia, followed with incredible passion and professionalism the development of this event that is not easy to manage due to the number of people and for the vastness...
