Alpini race

Our friend Adam talked me and Clint into doing a relay foot race in the mountains in conjunction with a Festival honoring the Alpini which are mountain regiments of the Italian army. It's a 7.5k trail race with a lot of steep up and down and rough terrain. I was nervous because I'm not training, just working out aimlessly and running not at all. But, we won the military division last year and had to defend the title. It went well. We all ran faster than last year due to drier course conditions and ended up second place. Followed by beer, wine and good food at altitude, you can't go wrong.
