The latest evolution of human freedom is in fact trapped in a gilded cage and a graze on meadows sound, a carry on all fours like children or animals, a peaceful picnic, while a storm rages and magnetic horrid. The gentle caress of a nightmare we are comforted by crowds in disaster. Comical poses stern look and come to unleash uncontrollable laughter, and tragically set the known world.
finally snowing. Still I had not seen that happen this winter. That did happen at the 30 km skating in Val di Goms care about. 
pick the chest and get off at the start welcomed to behold the ski bases, shiny shiny, covered by just the right mix. Indeed they are. The skis are great. 
The path is almost completely flat with some tears and a slight and increasing share of leads from the bottom of the valley towards the Furka. I'm leaving a lot behind, the chest was assigned to me by the disastrous outcome of last year. In my merit group (group C, blue chest from 1200 onwards) we will be around 150. I'm going to fire at all and after a couple of miles are the fifth or sixth, too fast, but was the only way to avoid being trooped. When you start to get the bottom of the group started 3 minutes before, I continue to ski a little too bright, engaging in constant overtaking. Unfortunately, spending too much, because it means more than leaving a portion of the track 'joke' and smoother. Run out of energy and try to hold the position until the finish. The nasty surprise you in the last 10 km when it increases the intensity of snow and there is a strong wind in your face. Serve muscles still fresh to face the wind, and fortunately lacking a willing take the head of the group and leads us to the end. Indoor is not difficult to nothing so I try to give him a change in the name of the Treaty on the Swiss-Italian transport. I put my nose out and stop. He spread his arms, smiling, he understands; diplomatic incident was avoided. 
final time of 1h 48 'in 346esima position. The level of starters compared with other cross-country is much higher. Of those parties in Group C and D are about the twentieth. Starting from the front, in terms of overall ranking, it was important not only because it was wasteful to overcome but also because in the second half of the race, against the wind, the pace is dictated by those above you. Overcome with the fresh wind in his face and superheroes, I, obviously, never will be. A benefit 
According to recent statistics (guiltily opposed and obscured by the media international) 98.4% of sexually active heterosexual males not only considered the spectacle of burlesque a great break dancing, but it is as exciting as the sight of topless Iervolino to clear the rubbish from the Piazza del Plebiscito (to name an image ..) 
In the solitude of the stage eyes closed like a curtain on the dazzling light of his dreams and his visions, he could focus only most extreme thoughts in the darkness, the audience grumbled that it was an animal crouched waiting for something, one indistinct be packed with hundreds of heads was stalking her every move or shudder. He stood long in silence for a moment that lasted an eternity, to measure that waiting with my eyes closed, not knowing whether he would be able to wake up or if you would stayed forever, if you were at the beginning or end of the play. And he thought: "This is the highest point of view, what we tend throughout the states of life."
weekly appointment with the runway. 8 per 1000 meters with recovery from a standing of 2 '. I close the 8 series to the average of 3' 49 "with the fastest production at 3'46" and the slowest at 3'52 ". 
Sunday Stage dell'Ammazzinverno Baveno. Path of 5.76 km with not even one meter of plain and at least two real climbs. Delivery as always recklessly. 700 m to account those before me. One, two, three, ten .. Grew to 15 men and 2 women. Mmm, few, something is wrong. I understand better on the first climb as well as undergo a number of overtaking going to start trouble. I continue to literally hook up to goal, driven by bursts of pride when someone hands me a comeback. Close in 25 '03 "to the average of 4'22" at km in 28th position of about 150 starters. So much effort, maybe too much. The standings here. 
At that moment the door burst open. The fog blotted out the contours of the road, cold air struck him from behind. "Finally!" and now he thought he remembered how he wished that his life was a mere abandonment did not expect much, one would want to be like everyone else. But the shadow had harassed at every step, the image that reflected the mirror was always distorted, there is almost recognized. Now, cheered by the background noise of the TV, blinded by the darkness of that vision, no more waiting, no longer wanted to persist and endure, sipped his drink as the sun yellow. Thoughtless awaiting the moment when he would come to be like the flicker of silver no signal on a screen. He drank and drank. He felt the night flowing within him, he felt turned into animal, plant, a star, in a continent in a crowd, it was almost happy and peaceful - and finally, at that moment was destined not to finish, including the lie of God and Man, he knew that the possibility of a new birth must necessarily pass through all the sunset. Do not fight more, it was so sweet, let go, like a wave crashing on the shore. He was gone, vanished into the light of intuition. There was only the more his memory.

I ran the whole, no more could be done. After the first two kilometers, which proposed the positions (step 7 'and 50 ") look to the shoes of those before me, with the intent not to give up for any reason. I can do, even when I feel the scent of goal chance to overtake, only to discover that the path is not provided for the direct return to the finish area but further digression into the village of Ornavasso. I do not cry, but close enough. The hand of revving in the red zone was already ten minutes, could not ask for more 5. I spend only 2 of my group but do not fall further behind, although the small sprint to resist me almost collapsing on the bench where you return the tickets. "No more like a chore, think and then forget about 7-8 minutes later:" When is the next? ".
