Grand Trail Completed!

Our Lauren and Max were great! Saturday, July 11 they were able to complete their attempt at the Grand Trail of Valdigne: a 45 kilometer race in the mountains with 2,500 meters of elevation change that they completed in 9 hours and 40 minutes. Knee problems caused Max to slow his pace, but they were still able to arrive at the finishline at Dolonne. The two climbs to arrive at Colle della Croce and Yula were difficult, both arriving at an elevation of 2,500 meters, but above all the downhill, ultimately arriving in Courmayer, was were they suffered. Lauren arrived in 46th of the women: considering that they trained almost only in Milan, they achieved an impressive result! The views of Valle D’Aosta were magical and the organization was impeccable, but it was the pure atmosphere of sport and the enthusiasm of the participants that framed the event and involved not only the athletes but also the numerous people who encouraged and applauded them along the way! It was a beautiful day for these guys, who realized a dream to which they had dedicated much passion and months of training. It is great to realize a dream, but it wonderful when they are the dreams of young people: such as this!
