The Lago Maggiore Half Marathon changed the route of the year, a year starts in Verbania, Stresa in the following year this year was during the 4th Edition, Stresa again as the starting point of the series. Lake Maggiore, on the west bank is to say the half-marathon is, after Lake Garda the second largest lake in Italy (212 to 370 square kilometers). It covers the regions of Piedmont and Lombardy and the Swiss canton of Ticino-80% of the lake is on Italian soil.
Together with Hannes Rungger I had chosen this competition for the attempt to lay the best possible time. Our intention, with kilometer time to run under 3.10, was shared by Joachim Nishirimana. Thus, there was a good group, which rotated as in a bicycle race km for km. Nishirimana started with 3.00, Hannes presented km 2, with an approximately 500 m long studded gentle slope, down to 3.10, I 3th in 3:07, so it went smoothly and regularly that we passed 5 km in 15:35, km 10 on 31.18 (ie 20 seconds slower than the 10 km race of Sinich) had at the time and 22 seconds ahead of the march table. From km 11 to km 18 are then made to create a moderate headwind, despite continued good team work was the pace of up to 3.15. At km 20 I would have been back in the series, but Nishirimana I came with an attack before falling back-Hannes, I was able to keep still. To 2.55, the last my fastest km from the end time was 1h06.46 satisfies me. Finally, it is the first time since 2004 (half-marathon in Wels, 1h06.36, see below) that I am once again remained below 1:07.
indulged After the race, Hannah and I took a good amount of stew with polenta, a panoramic boat takes us back to Stresa.
