ENJOY GROWING
This last Sunday was held the IV Subida al Castillo de Portezuelo, as is usual in this test environment sports is extraordinary.
I do not tire of repeating the achievements each year get involved in the organization. The small town turns, runs very well at lower levels where the kids can have fun, good animation, the collection of numbers, arrival at the Castle etc. ..
As we saw just a little mistake in signaling, which made us extend a little distance to all forgivable when you know that is the world of mountain races.
I am glad that my colleagues in the Marathon Club Cáceres increasingly present in greater numbers in the tests of the Federation of Mountain, and several of them go up to the podium in different categories.
In these tests are approximate distances, there is approximately 16 km (which turn out to be 17.5), two km habituallamientos approximately the 5 and 10, times are approximate (some of us stopped to help other runners), etc. ..
On a personal level I got to the test with a 4-week career coach, and two days to paddle, so my legs remembered the last leg of the race. The first 8 miles in constant rise, with a gift in the form of tremendous KM7 hard to "remember that this race is the Federation of Mountain."
After about 8 km of continuous descent on very good roads (which differed from those of last year) and where each a "fly" your way, I to 4 minutes per km. Finally, the tough climb to the castle, which everyone expected a great animation on goal.
This year the number of riders has grown, has also increased the distance, and increased hardness. A test that is enjoying a deserved growth.
I think it is hard not to break into careers in Extremadura, the challenge is to maintain that identity. Personally I would like up to the castle did not grow much more in corridors or toughness, so that we have the Pencona or Artisan, I think if you keep the identity that we have made famous castle door for awhile.
PD: I have two photos hanging here have given me great joy (and which one would go to any of my readers). The first of the reunion after 25 years with a good friend of my youth: Javier Ridruejo, my time of the Marist Salamanca with whom I shared quite a few football games and some times Macanudo.
And the second of Mario and Maria, who dared to debut on the evidence in line with a mountain race, Good for my cousin who was gobbled 17.5 km at its debut, and will be enjoying their well earned leg pain!.
