Vanguard Tripod Heads Good Buy



There we are!

the 21:18 am on November 1, in just over 12 hours will be by way of New York City Marathon.
Tonight carbohydrate rich dinner after a day of rest was to be but we've been around the 5th Avenue shops of the rich (we thought less of the slack, since it is located a short walk from our hotel, but so it was not).

the 21:20 am, we just got back atmosphere, unlike yesterday's quiet, almost waiting. The days are past the Village on Saturday and is now time to make room for the hopes of 38,000 runners. In the corridor leading to my room there is a surreal silence, some ports have the card "do not disturb" sign hung outside. Everything is silent. I just finished preparing the material on race clothing, creams, patches, watch, sweater and an anorak to get hot at the start. The shoes are still at the foot of the bed, they too are ready for this new challenge that awaits us. The alarm clock for 4:45, the bus leaves at 5:30 direction Verrazzano Bridge where we will arrive for the 7. The start of the race at 10:20 (16:20 Italian time).
This year I'm going to go down under the wall of 4 hours. The signs are encouraging at the moment.
3h59'59''is the goal ... we'll see what happens tomorrow ... 42 km are always an unknown because you do not know how your body reacts. The biggest obstacle at around 25 km mark, the Queensboro Bridge ... 1 km from bridge to climb the winds and they cut my face. From there it goes on your head.

the 21:32 am, I do not know what I wrote above, and I did not even want to read it again. I'm beginning to feel the emotions of the race. Another year of training is passato.1600 mileage (Monza, Badia, Milan, Italy, Croatia, Hungary, Ferrara, Rome, Latina, Verona ...), the satisfaction to be here again, not as prepared ever, is great.

Now, since I am a bit 'too discursive, and it seems also to speak in tones a bit' too epic, I wish you good night ... and ... I urge you to log on late tomorrow night or Monday morning to follow the story ... the race.

Goodnight,

Alessio

PS Title of the day: "This year we are really on track" ☺
