On March 27, 2011, at 10 am in the morning, turns out, next to Crist Santíssim Grupo Escolar de Gata de Gorgos, the Volta Peu Gata 2011, the Circuit de la Marina Alta (Alicante). Salen 1,200 runners in this race who has run around 10,000 meters.
A splendid day in a circuit rather hard for the slopes, especially in the final. Having been carefully trained this week by some minor discomfort in his ankle, took the test as a test / Entertainment for further competitions. Next week, I have the half marathon of Elche, very demanding and Spain following the Championship Half Marathon VA.
go out with caution, and note that I can run quite fluently, without forcing. I feel good and start the first attacks. The slopes performed better than the plain and downs, good enough. While I was on positions very late, and I catching the last long hill ahead of many runners. Result: more than 52 minutes, totaling an excellent average for an ultra-endurance on 5m12s/Km. Ranks 550 of 1,200 arrivals goal: better not be.
Proof prestigious, and easily overcome with good feelings. Everything points to an excellent half marathon and a championship Elche Spain of Mediamaratón also excellent.
Now this week, train with caution and without force and "recharge."
I'll race with my friends Robert, driving, riding in a car of its magnificent collection. Co-pilot, Jaime Barceló, Apollo * Ana and me in the back seat, also Apol * Ana and equipment "my love" (Correbirras RT, and NUELPA Nuea).
Along the way, a good breakfast at a service station, and before the race, a coffee.
collect the cord. I really corresponds to the 768 and delivered to me, since Xàbia had not yet printed the column. The chip itself, the circuit last year. My friend Jaime will solve some problems with the chip, it does not appear in classifications and does not seem very happy Somesport solution, hopefully will fix these problems and even I appear, since in the published classification cut shortly before my arrival.

very happy the three. Robert, spent a day manning entertaining and able to enjoy a beautiful drive from his collection of classic cars. Jaime, their 42 minutes, caught on one of his best performances. I, in particular, did a very good race, with 52 minutes, despite the next thing even the mythical 100 km from Madrid where I was first in my class.
