Giro del Valdarno: Delusione... Eccomi puntuale come un orologio svizzero a raccontare la gara di oggi...
Svegliaalle 5e30, colazione e poi via in macchina alla volta di Montevarchi, alle 8 sono al ritrovo, dove incontro i miei due compagni di squadra Juri e Michele.
Attacco numero a maglia e bici, metto il chip e via di straforo in prima griglia.
Alle 9e30 si parte, primi km ad andatura controllata e come al solito mi passano almeno un centinaio di persone, perdo posizioni e non riesco a risalire, in quei momenti nella mia mente mi ripromettevo che non avrei piu fatto altre gf con cosi tanti iscritti, ma credo che gia da Sunday to disobey my idea. The first ascent
take it back for the reasons above, I decide to put a good pace and recover, but I can do a good rev to reposition itself with the first 60/70. The route continues uphill from this quiet for about twenty kilometers until you attack the climb Monteluco, this was the true harshness of the day, 10 km climb to the irregular points 14/15%. Struggle hard, the very first group of leaves but the rest with a discrete group, the alternating stretches of uphill proceeds slightly downhill, just at the end of a descent and the subsequent start of a steep section, I do like a moron a change from 50 / 23 to 34, and like magic, the chain goes down beyond repair, various expletives, I try to put it back in motion but nothing, so I have to set foot on shore and miss the group. The moral flies to land, mindful of recent events in Spello, fortunately after a while comes a group that I shot and stepping stone to the top (top of the hill we were in 2 of the 20 k). gpm to begin but my nightmares ... we throw down in a descent that apostrophized as the folder contains dangerous curves. I can stand with difficulty the first few kilometers and bend back after falling behind, I find myself in the queue and after a series of curves lose the group. How Spello after taking with her nails and teeth uphill and down to send me a rug, try to re-enter the group in front but I can not, be too strong. From
then I'll just make a lot of miles during the last climb I go for a walk, knowing that anke making the whole front of the group would not be able to take it back, also as if this were not enough to 2km from the arrival a large group of 30 people I takes over and forces me to sprint, in which 17 people put the wheels in front of me. At the end
67 th overall and fifth grade.
I am very disappointed by this result, once again I have proven to stand up quietly with the first 35-40, but unfortunately I pay for my inexperience in all other areas (flat, down, stay in groups, tactical and technical); I arrived at the finish and also rested, I still had so much energy in the body ... For a proper examination
of my race, in a short list of my weak points, which I hope to work hard, I know it may seem from complainer, but if in the future I do not notice my being able to cure these deficiencies (especially downhill) of the fundamental I decide to go back to the outputs without problem alone or I'm going to limit the randonneur ... Here they are:
1) suffer from the departure, in the few races that I've always been lucky enough to be up front in the first km, but these benefits are canceled, and often lose tens and hundreds of
2) I can not push the right relationship from the end of last season I started working with the agility, but I think perhaps you have too much, in fact now I'm a bit 'hard work tend to scale the relationship, and relate to each whirl, this is fine until I go out alone, but if they are in groups and in the race this penalizes me, I will try to train the next training sessions to raise the ratio and to push more reports hard to simulate race situations
3) Lack of technique: it is not normal to set off for two races in a row in the crucial points of the game, everything is synonymous with failure, I must first learn to change and must also avoid the intersections of the chain. With the arrival of colnago try to solve this problem by mounting a nice dog teeth (I can not fit on the Cervelo xkè pipe has a rectangular section)
4) I keep per ultimo, ma lo ritengo il più grave: la discesa. Beh che dire, credo che ogni parola sia supreflua, sono una sega, curvo senza piegare, freno sempre, non so scegliere le traiettorie etc... Qualcuno dice che o si è discesisti o non lo si è, altri dicono che è tutta questione di abitudine... io credo che la verità stia nel mezzo... spero solo di migliorare, anke perkè staccarsi tutte le volte è veramente frustrante...
Cmq archiviamo questa giornata, e pensiamo a domenica dove farò il primo lungo della mia vita, so che sarà una faticaccia, ma tanto il percorso non si adatta a me e quindi nel medio rischierei di fare la fine di oggi...
Concludo dicendo: Barcollo ma non mollo...
