The legend of the  MONTE SOPHIA Mountain Run…!!!

Obviously, there is nothing more to say about it. Here, in our region, is the Monte Sophia mountain run with its 28km one of the most ambitious run. During the run, you got some passages like the “ Blood course” or else. Having said this, the run is really awesome. It´s like running a marathon. The main goal for myself this year, was to run a little bit faster than last year, that means, personnal best time. Last year I needed 2:12h and this year, I wante to finish under 2:10. The weather was changful and we got heavy winds and because it rained very much in the last days, the course was some kind of “deep”...and it became like this... The first km until the mountain you had to run over bitumen and than the party started, when I reached km10 I checked my clock and 44min, not bad, really good time and now it was time fort he „ Blood Passage“. It is a really hard passage, just uphill and freshly sanded new paths. I ate a gel and than I reached the peak and the half-marathon mark and than 7km donhill until the finish. And when you ran downhill really fast, you legs starts to hurt very much, when I reached to foot of the mountain just 1km flat until the finish, it´s aweird feeling running flat. Wonderful...with a time of 2:08h I crossed the finish line. YES...4minutes faster than last year and under bad weather conditions. Afterall I was on the 25th place from 305 and I ended up on the 4th place in my age-group. Afterall...awesome... See you next time, when „ the mountain is calling...”   ATTACK & FULL THROTTLE Robert…
