FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
This year has been heavily influenced by three factors:
- the competitions (30!) and the injuries (three times the ankle) in 2016
- the move to Germany in February with the begin of a new professional and personal life
- the countless trips to and from Italy
Thus, there was never the time for a proper physical and mental recovery. The results and the performances in the competitions faithfully reflected this condition: continuous “up & down” and several mistakes before and during the races, which are not part of my experience.
In any case, it is a year in which I accumulated a lot of new experiences and learnings, especially in the balance of mental and physical forces.
BEST MEMORIES
- 1. The victory with Mara in the mixed category at the Trail Laghi
- 2. The Ultra Trail Lago d´Orta shared with Ilka (Ultra Trail Lago d’Orta – UTLO (ultratraillo.com))
- 3. The Eco Trail of Madrid
WORST MEMORIES
- 1. The EcoTrail of Paris started and run with the fever (39°C), due to food poisoning
- 2. The DNF at Lavaredo Ultra Trail at Col Gallina (km 95), since I was completely distracted by other events and not concentrated on the race
- 3. The DNF at KoBoLT at km 72, due to severe injury on my left knee which prevented me to run in the following 45 days
