... i succeeded in running the traditional city race in Venice. No, it was not an important competition, but it has been a lot of fun. I could remember this from my races as a junior some (well, maybe more than 10) years ago. But it it is also a good start form my preparation for the next year. While i have been sick immediately after starting with hard training in the past 2 years, this time it feels quite OK and I'm looking forward to a hard winter training with hopefully no health problems.
