My Fornacione Night Trail - Scandiano. May 19th - 2018


A Night Trail run in pairs Scandiano (Iano) in Italy.


- 21 Km Trail run.
- 1000m Accumulated ascent.


Before start. Ready to go to Iano to participate in the run.


Inscription. I had no partner, but the organization was so kind to find me one. Only problem - he wanted to do the run in 1H40!!!
I only saw him the first 3 minutes of the run - I think we were disqualified.


Start! Here we go. Time: 19:30 (I still have my partner, just in front of me).


First descent. Still lot of light, I'm going fine, passing lot of other runners - cool , but no partner, he must be someplace far ahead.



In a long row ascent - are we gnus?


Sunset.


Night over Scandiano


GOAL!!!!!!! - Alone


Some first aid, ice on my knee. My knee gave in just 3 Km before the finish line, on the last ascent. I finished, but it costed me at least 10 places - very demoralised - only to be able to do a pity walk and pretend to run a bit.


Ascents and descents.

Time: 3H30
