Que no estamos tan mal :)

Today I found out that they do loads of cross-country races in Spain, they call it "Voltes a Peu". Oscar won the traditional one in Onil last week and today we spontanously decided to take part at "La Volta a Peu de la Universitat Politecnica de Valencia".

First big step was to inscribe for the event, Oscar and Manu didn't have problems, but I, not being student of Politecnica, had to change my name into "Rafa Culla", a classmate of Manu .) Done that we started together with about 1000 students at the university campus with one guy in jeans and with backbag impressively taking the lead. Soon Oscar caught him, with Manu, Emili and me right behind him.
The first of four km went fast with 3:03, but Oscar had to pay tribute to his furious start soon and we passed him quite easy. From there on I had to run all by myself because Emili managed to open a gap and Manu & Oscar fell further behind. After 13:00 min. I reached the finishline being 6th, Oscar 30sec. behind 9th, having caught Manu who finished 10th. Standing results (Ranking Points): Sandro 2, Oscar 1, Manu 0. Unfortunately we didn't make the podium for being rewarded by Valencian Footballstar Juan Mata.

Next encounter will be the Spanish League this weekend in Cordoba. Journey starts tomorrow, saturday - middle distance, sunday long distance - Stay tuned!!
