My first italian half marathon

The blog starts from today. And right today, after about 1 week from my journey back to Italy, I had my first race. The Palmanova half marathon. Quite an important one in my region, but I failed any expectations. Unfortunately I was still suffering from a slight groin injury and the pain got stronger mile after mile, which forced me to slow down a lot. So, after the first “half-half-marathon”:) my chrono was quite a decent one: 36 mins, against the 40 mins for the second. For the record, the winner was a slovenian with 1h07′

The position was 40th, but believe me, for now this has no relevance to me at all. I’m just scared, and keen to recover from this injury ASAP. Possibly before the 2/12 marathon, in 2 weeks!
