We arrived on English soil Friday at 8:15, me, Katie, Alex, Claudio, Claudia, Marcia. After breakfast, we headed in Placa Espanya, the convention center, where he was the marathon expo. It 's a great environment, with many exhibitors came from everywhere. I turn slowly, as he collected the bib and goody bag containing a t-shirt technique, quite pretty. Then, after depositing the luggage in the apartment, began visiting the city. In two days, we got to see some of the most important things, from the famous Sagrada Familia, the Casa Batllo, Park Guel, all works created by Gaudi. We went the port, the beach, where the ironman, Claudio has taken a bath. Of course, the evening stroll on the famous Las Ramblas, and then looking for the characteristic night spots, where we did not miss the legendary paella and gallons of excellent sangria. Finally we come to the morning of the race, his legs like normal, they were already pretty tired from walking the previous day, and sleep had not been discarded completely. Anyway woke up at 6, breakfast, deposit your bags at the station, and go at the start. A lot of people, members are little more than 15000. Deposited a bag and put it in the grid. The view is beautiful, we are at the foot of Montjuic, where you will find Palau D'Alfonso XIII, on av. de la Reina Maria Cristina, the parties beautiful with water fountains. Departure at 8:30, is exaggerated, with a shower of confetti, accompanied by notes of Queen of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bcreepy. The path is slightly wavy, always accompanied by two lines of cheering people, touched on some prominent landmarks, including the Camp Nou, La Pedrera, Sagrada Familia, the Calatrava bridge, Torre Agbar, the boardwalk, Arc de Triomf, and the new 'arrival in Placa Espanya, wonderful. A perfect organization, both along the route and on arrival. I'm up to 30 km mark I was pretty good, then imagine how I fell, closing 4804 °, 3h40m. Katie, made a good run, and never go into crisis, reaching only 1 'from his staff, closing, 10591 °, about 12,526 have arrived in 4h29m. Unfortunately, Claudio, has made only 10km, and then it stopped, usually because of foot pain, that keeps him away from racing, for the past 3 months. After the shower, away, again, travel, airport, where at 17:30, left on flight to Milan. What can I say, very beautiful, happy, beautiful as a race, and three days of beautiful sunshine. Of course, another great experience that will be memorable, thanks, excellent with family Marri, who has endured for three days. Ok, picos, I'm done, see you at the next races.
