The mezza maratona from Como to Laglio and back by Synlab… Here we are in the Stadio Comunale G. Sinigaglia<\/em> in Como<\/a>, home stadium of Como football club. We are not alone. About 1,500 sports enthusiasts are waving their arms and kicking their feet to warm up for the Mezza Maratona di Lago di Como, organized by SynLab. It’s crowdy in the corridors of the stadium to get a starting number. When it is finally our turn, one of our starting numbers appears to be already gone. The unfriendly Italian promptly waves our protest away.<\/p>\n

Sigh, we’re going to ask a colleague of his. We traveled to Como this weekend especially for this event. We paid for plane tickets, rental car, overnight accommodation and an additional 30 euros starting fee for the marathon. Shouldn’t there be an official starting number? Fortunately, we find help and eventually they made an effort to provide us with a new starting number.<\/p>\n

In the stadium we leave our goodie bag and spare clothes on the seats of the stadium. We walk to the starting point. We stand at the starting line in the shadow cast by the winter sun over Tempo Voltiano<\/i>. What lovely running weather. Chilly, blue sky and sunny. The nostrils are fully open and healthy air fills our lungs. In the background, the beats pump out from the music boxes to warm up the audience. At half past eight, the Canto delgli Italiani<\/i>, the national anthem, sounds. It doesn’t get more official than that! A dry shot in the distance and row by row the runners start moving. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
