“I wanted to check how my left calf was doing after a minor injury, and everything went well.”

The runner entered Stramilano SottoZero to test a left calf that had suffered a minor injury. Completing the CityLife course with bends and climbs without trouble made the result satisfying.

Volevo testare il polpaccio sinistro dopo piccolo infortunio, è andato tutto bene.

“I finished just over 48 minutes. I'd wanted to go under 48, but running the first 1km in 5 minutes 10 seconds held me back.”

A slow first 1km cost the runner a sub-48-minute goal at Stramilano SottoZero. The cold, sharp bends, changes of direction, narrow sections and lack of distance markers were frustrating, but the race was enjoyable.

Original quote

ho fatto 48 e pochi, volevo scendere sotto i 48, ma il primo km a 5.10 mi ha fregato.
