5° Giro del parco collinare, San Colombano al Lambro

i arrived late, the start/finish and subscription place was not indicated properly, so i started alone without my group other guys annnnddd wow! very hard race: 12.5k with > 500 m difference level (500 up and 500 down) made of 16 slope and descent, some short some long and hard. at 4th-5th i had to walk and bend forward to pass under branches. at 8k right heel started hurting because of violent descents. i've run 'just' 12k but i'm much more tired than after the other 20k race. they say such up-and-down train is really useful but my heels don't agree... landscape is really amazing.
p.s.: how tasty was the plate of pasta after the race, at 10 am!
p.p.s.: race pack included: lemon tea 200 ml, vanilla biscuits 150 g, natural water 500 ml, one smashed cherry croissant, deodorizing wet wipes, spaghetti 500 g and a meat thermometer!
