...and very Extreme:)

I, up until now did not meet kinder people than the ones that worked for this trail.
I've always dreamed about visiting the Dolomiti; This was my first time and the sheer beauty of the landscape kept me going on, I wanted to see more, I did not want to stop.
In 100km, I've stored so many images in my mind, I was under the impression at every step, something changed, was it the light, the view, the state of dreaming?

as a paranthesis, and so that I'll never forget, I always asked myself can Hallux Valgus get in my way? Yes, and it can be very painful while running about. But then again:), who cares anymore, I was in another state of mind, far away:D, so magical!

And proudly finished last:)!really, hand in hand with the chiusi pista, funny gang.

I never cease to be amazed by the patience of the guys that show us the way. I think passion drives people of the sort.
