TESTING AGAIN
Unfortunately for the second time Fabio and I have to undergo physical testing at the University of Milan, when my state of health is not good. First for the troublesome cyctitis and now for the flu. Maybe it is due to stress of the large workload in which I must do to organize the event and to train physically, that my body is rebelling from the frantic rhythms which are quite different from what I am used to. The other missing piece is there are only 11 days till we depart and for the 10th of November everything must be ready. The crossing of a desert is not a simple trip and if alone one must organize it themselves, it is more than a year of work.

THE MINIMARATHON LEAVING IN SPRING
Blooming in spring is the New Frontier Mini-marathon.
The first Mini-marathon for the all disabled athletes, New Frontier will take place in Milan next spring. Originally planned for next month, November, the marathon was postponed to Spring 2009, allowing the Comune di Milano, the organizer, to better present itself to all those who will be registered. My people had already registered for the November challenge, and it is sure that the warm weather of the spring will bring even more participants, not only who are disabled, but also their friends and supporters. Around two thousand are expected to participate.
The more the better!
The New Frontier Mini-marathon, in fact, has the objective to sensitize the public towards the disabled and to economically support the young disabled who want to participate in sports.

IT SUCKS!!!
The encounter between Ambrosiana and Casate finished 3 to 2 in favor of the second. The boys of Ambrosiana played well and with dedication, but without anything to beat the skill of the opponent, unfortunately an arbitration to forget did, like often happens, making the difference.Besides, this happens in all sports: the little professionalism of some individuals, determines the results, not corresponding to their effort in the field. Amateur sports, more than the others must be an example to the youth, this behavior risks being a negative example. It sucks!

DIFFICULT GAME
There is a difficult game this evening, where the dedicated Ambrosiana Hockey club will face Casate: playing at the Assago Forum.
They have much respect for the opponents and our boys will fight with a lot of determination to win at their home rink.
We will all be there to support them, always with the spirit of sport and with affection for the league and our team, which Max has played for now for some 17 years!Play hard Ambrosiana! We will see you at the Forum at 6.30, the entrance is free to all, remember to bring a sweater: on the ice it is always cold.

A NEW SEASON OF SPORT
Sunday was the first game of the year for ice hockey between Ambrosiana Milano and Lecco.
It is incredible that every player must pay almost a thousand dollars, plus all the equipment, to play in series C1. At the end of the game the score was 15 to 0 in favor of Ambrosiana, the team Max plays for, but Lecco was a good opponent, very good and competitive.
Reading in the news says that some gambler earned a million euros, to practice sports that are often the center of scandal and fraud, makes me nauseous. At times the athletes know little the value of sport: although the riches and the fame that they begin to receive doing a work that they love, often they begin to play poorly or to miss practice.
We would have to all work together for another reality and to support athletes who practice sport wrongly to begin to understand how much heart and passion we want them to have for practicing true SPORT.

THE COUNTDOWN
Shortly the count-down begins for our departure. But now that the date is approaching, tension increases and work becomes frantic. Now begins the arrival of materials from the sponsors, that will carry us through the desert and the house is becoming a warehouse to store all the goods. Materials for camping, backpacks, apparel: all are accumulating where they can, as I wait to choose how to divide the material and what will serve Fabio and I. I must think about a thousand things, all of which are urgent, and the time for training, now very fatiguing, has become the only moment for relaxation: it’s incredible!!

Carla and Fabio instead will continue to physically perpare in Italy and shortly will have their first physical test run by the Faculty of Motor Science at the University of Milano. Ferrino, a long-time sponser of Carla, is working to prepare all the trecking materials, in particular the tents and backpacks that Carla and Fabio will use in the desert. No Limits, instead, will provide all the technical apperal and watches for all of the team, that as always, is coordinated by Oscar, who is the doctor and broker, not only the husband of Carla and by Daniele, leader of Focus Himalaya Travel, who organized Carla's expeditions in China and Australia.
