Here's a little note of the cross yesterday. Once in Treviglio, after the short trip by car, me and Isabella immediately withdraw chip and race number, and then begin a rapid reconnaissance of the race course. The ground was very icy and the tracks left by tractors traps were ready to give sprain ankles and tough terrain for the frost was not ideal for the spikes.
11 hours, it's my turn in the sun and the temperature reached +5 ° C. Before me, the path we have already over 300 people, so that ice more ... the land is now super muddy! Unfortunately I do not have time to change your shoes ... No nails.
Start the race, trying to start strong to stay ahead and not be bottled. The mud is very deadly, although not on the whole track, his feet sinking not bad and it is difficult to push, so much so that at the end of the shoes have a nice wedge of mud under the sole. I would have encountered the same difficulties with the spikes, but maybe a little something I would have won, given that Salomon was one of the para "mangiafango.
negative Note: I lost the second sprint in a row with an opponent who had before me in the final sprint and I wanted to. Obviously not only the shoes were the cause, his legs after 6 consecutive training courses and 88 km, they were not fresh ... But that's okay, races are training harder and is more then your results are likely when there are races "real"!
positive note: I bought a new pair of shoes (Mizuno Wave Precision 11, pictured on the side, great!) At a very affordable price.
