We returned from two days of Egypt. A beautiful holiday with a race in desert environment in a lovely setting with a good impression. I'll tell only the part concerning the race, great organizational effort with the staff motivated and very professional. It shares almost all the same hotel and I got to see what difficulties they faced and how have fulfilled the duty available to us.
It began with a meeting with the staff the first night of stay for the first indications, the second day before in the company Sgambati along a path similar to the first 10 km stretch of the race. Second exit on Wednesday along 8 km similar to the second part of the race, nothing has been left to chance. All 2 outputs with all the athletes were on board the coach with this team and with water supplies, however, indispensable.
Wednesday evening technical meeting with the staff, in particular with the doctor who explained the difficulties to be faced in terms of hydration and nutrition, with the psychologist who explained briefly how to approach the race in terms of mental and the osteopath who reminded us how our body is a toy to be treated bene.Per last Ottavio Andriani, who won here two times explained from the point of view of the professional athlete how to deal with race. About
osteopath and she was available to everyone, in the little free time he had failed to deal with some of the athletes bruised and in particular that Annie was almost blocked by the back so that I could not run nessuan of the 2 outputs.
operational meeting last Thursday evening to explain the organization of the race the next day.
8 bus from the hotel last week at a time on the course that was within a national park. Glance fantastic and hot temperatures have made the race great and strange, and we started together in last place with only a broom behind the quad service. Annie had left to walk a few km per second and retire risto about 6 km mark. Most important: the refreshments were each 3 km of water and 2 also with salts, essential to drink and bathe often. At the 3rd km
Annie told me to go and I'm slowly catching up party quiet about half of the competitors, some slow and steady, and some broke out because of the heat really important. I measured the forces as the kilometers went by more and more people walking with difficulty for the challenging course, the second part is a mixture of hard sand with fine sand and rocks that prevented the thrust of the feet. Last km detour on a rock with fine sand dune, with a glance down spectacular sea and right in front of the arrival of an arc stones called the door of Allah.
Company of Annie who stubbornly walking, running and finished in just over 3 hours.
Judgement: great organization, on trips when we have always been followed during the race the quad of the organization have done that no one was alone with himself in an extreme but not at all easy.
