Garretts Popcorn Diarrhea

Latest Events Events

Fine settimana all'insegna del ciclismo in terra D'Abruzzo.
L'arrivo e partenza della Tirreno-Adriatico ha movimentato la solita routine.
Oltre ai professionisti in gara, ci sono stati anche nostri atleti che hanno partecipato alla GF del Conero (Ancona), il nostro Enzo ha partecipato alla Coppa Abruzzo a Francavilla classificandosi 8° di categoria e 15° assoluto. Altri gruppi hanno seguito sia alla partenza che lungo la strada la corsa dei due mari.
La solita uscita domenicale pre un gruppo ne è uscita un pò malconcia per la divisione in tanti gruppi tra chi ha voluto seguire l'evento principale e quelli  che hanno preferito fare una bella pedalata. Ci scusiamo se non siamo riusciti a stare all together, but the arrival of the stage with the pros was too tempting.
Another group instead has made a good buck of 140 km to Martock, where they witnessed the passage of the Tirreno-Adriatico. Standings
GF Del Conero:
long race, Maurizio and Marco respectively 31 ° and 32 °.
short race, Bruno, Sergio, Carmine, Pierandrea, Ivo, Charles and Luke, good positions.
link in the photos on Saturday and Sunday's pro race.
Grande Danilo Di Luca, who is coming back in great shape, DANILO FORCE!

Greetings to all, to the next.

Best Police Scanner For The Money

15 ^ 17'19''Run Uri 4.530 k

15^ Corri Uri presente!!! Parliamo di uno dei paesi più rilevanti quando si porta in causa il carciofo del nord Sardegna, ed infatti non come l’anno scorso, ma invero come due anni fa, la competizione podistica è abbinata alla 21^ sagra del carciofo. Tanti stand, tante bancarelle e tanta gente al lavoro per proporre i loro buonissimi prodotti! Purtroppo però la giornata ventosa e la pioggia và e vieni rovina un po’ il tutto. Di positivo c’è il fatto che non è freddissimo e il riscaldamento pre gara non sarà una sofferenza inutile tra l’aria gelida. Tutte le categorie sono presenti ma nonostante tutto la partecipazione non sarà elevatissima e ciò still takes a bit more 'panache to the event. Last year was much better but the weather made everything much more fun! However, my spirit is quite unlike this gay weather ail me normally.

I want to compete and find many friends who are spending time very quickly. That said it is normal that the warming will turn into one of the best times of the day and with this I would say go to the race.
This path today, as I was told, is three editions ago when I was not present. It is characterized by a slightly downhill start, double curve left and incline toward the exit of the country that passes in front of the church of Santa Croce and then start for the cemetery. To get you in front of the cemetery a few more hundred meters in floor and you find yourself at the turning point. This is also the area where the breezy wind literally stopped me. After shooting you go back and cross their opponents, and down a slight descent back upon arrival. The circuit is to be repeated 5 times and according to the garmin should be around 906 meters for a total of 4530 meters. These are minor problems. For much of the rest of the road paved with pebbles and gave a bit of trouble more than expected and the curve and slid it into the most outstanding in a light. So a simple race but pulled that as a whole was not to be underestimated. But I took me to my make my life difficult and just started shooting forward like a thirsty man to the oasis and I position my second. After the first curve slow down and averted the danger of clogging in the first corner I do achieve. I would not complicate the legs and waiting for someone to pull me and protect me from the wind. Nothing to do, step well at the end of the first lap and picking up the second splice me anyway. Perhaps the first acceleration was too strong!! Falling behind and not go. However, do not panic, after a little 'problems find a good management. But the race is to finish and in the final laps, and after another I try to resume the position lost who I was before, without success.

A strange but very nice race: the first few laps almost smile for the simple fact that I run and during this ride I feel a little 'best of the past races. I am well and despite the heavy legs are peaceful and happy. Arrival destroyed and the fact that they had the desire to accelerate towards the end is a good thing!. The final average is 8 +, I was hoping a little better, but do not throw: 3'49''/ km. The conduct of the race, however, is disastrous. I can get my average lap with the help of my assistant coach ed era meglio non leggerle: 3’30’’/km – 3’50’’/km – 4’00’’/km – 3’57’’/km – 3’51’’/km. Cambiamo argomento!!
Purtroppo unica cosa negativa, che non vorrei mai scrivere, è la non presenza dell’acqua che se fosse per un motivo di soldi, con l’aggiunta di soli 0,50 euro, (che avrei ben pagato se penso che oggi c’era da sborsare solo 1,50 di Fidal) la sua apparizione avrebbe dato alla gara un atmosfera di ottima impressione. L’acqua non dovrebbe mai mancare. Per il resto mi sono molto divertito e ringrazio gli organizzatori. In ogni caso c’è sempre da apprezzare a path totally closed to traffic and the effort to create an event that gives us a different Sunday in the company of other runners.
however, filed this race, in which fortunately return the 2nd on the podium and take a nice cestinetto, I think the next race which will serve as a test to understand where they are from last year. Same location, same time! Very good, do not ask for better!
