我有跟冠軍路跑社一隊耶...
打電話問mizuno，他們說社會組允許至多2名學生

(悄悄話)
剛又打去問，mizuno說上週開會不讓學生跑社會組.../_\
加上大專院校有辦法組隊也沒幾所(還分甲乙組)，一堆學生都無法參賽了...

八人接力
長度又不長
賺衣服不算嗎?

划算嗎?

Dear Shao-Gun,

thamk you for your reply !
About a comment on bike course of Taiwan Ironman, if you let
me know where there is a profile I can have a look and comment
it.
In europe is normally considered the world hardest Ironman
race the one called EMBRUNMAN (FRANCE) with a bike course
extremely hilly with more than 5000m total (also reach the
highest point at more than 2400m). It has also a hilly
marathon.
I did it this year, it was amazing, it took for me 1 week for
a 90% recover.
The 2nd hardest is normally considered Lanzarote Ironman in
Canria Island (SPAIN). It is hilly (not extremely) and with
strong wind always.
Our Elbaman is quite comparable to Lanzarote, maybe little
more hilly, but less windy (if you are lucky... eh eh eh).

It would be very nice if a group of Taiwanese would compete in
Elbaman in future ! we can arrange something special for a
group like bus, special hotel rooms, discount on entry for big
group, ecc... Make some advertising of the race if you can
^____^
I also have a blog at
www.triathlonandmylife.blogspot.com
I do not post my daily training... but I can summarize you
something if you are interested, even if I'm a medium level
athlete, not high enough for taking some tips... eh eh eh
November is the normally off-season for triathletes and I like
to increase my run competing in some half and full marathon.
I'm not training hardly for sure, I like to have fun in
marathon and half and I never do a proper training eh eh eh in
fact my record are not really impressive (1h23' half / 3h11'
full). I hope I can do less than 3h10' in Taipei, I will try
but I do not care if I will not do it... important is to have
fun.

The part where I do normally my best is bike and triathlon
from Olympic to ironman distance.
Bike is for sure my best spot, I love climbs, I love climb in
the Alps and in every very hilly race...
Unfortunately I will not take my bike this time in Taiwan, it
is too risky for a very new one to do a so long trip with 2
changes.. I'm sorry, but for sure I will take it in the future
with a proper case and I would love to explore some nice
courses !
About Ivan Basso.. telling the truth I feel very bad about all
these stories of doping. I feel a sort of disease. I can not
stand more and, according to me, Basso is involved for sure,
but it seems that everything will be "cancelled" in a strange
way. I hate it. My favourite is, at this time, Paolo Bettini,
the world champion. He is a clear and simple person.
In the past I loved Marco Pantani and Gianni Bugno.. maybe you
can remember them.

Please write me email anytime you want, ok ? let's see in TPE
Marathon.

關於墾丁ironman的自由車路線是不是難度高, 或許我若有
機會看一下路線高度表, 就能夠做清楚的比較.
在法國有場ironman叫做EMBRUNMAN, 是歐洲公認難度
最高的, 上下坡度落差達5000m(單車路線甚至爬上最高點
海拔2400m), 接下來的馬拉松路線也是一路上上下下起伏

我今年完成一場EMBRUNMAN, 令我很驚訝的是我賽後
僅僅一個星期就能恢復90%

歐洲公認第2難的是西班牙有個外島Canria Island舉辦的
Lanzarote Ironman, 它的路線起伏落差雖不像法國
Embrunman那麼極端, 卻有一年四季吹不完的強風

至於我們的Elbaman路線, 有點相似於Lanzarote, 不過,
多了一些上下坡, 但風沒有這麼大(但也得碰碰運氣)

未來如果台灣選手能夠來玩我們的Elbaman, 我會很高興
地幫忙訂房、巴士接送、團報報名費打折

我的個人blog在 www.triathlonandmylife.blogspot.com
但我沒有把每天的訓練update在上面, 如果你感興趣, 我可以做些
簡單的整理之後email給你. 我是程度中段的三鐵人, 所以你若要學
些撇步, 那可折煞小弟了..eh eh eh
11月已進入三鐵的休息季, 這段時間我會增加我的路跑訓練, 像是參
加半馬or全馬. 我對路跑訓並不是這麼紮實, 大概是以玩樂的成份居
多, 事實上我的最佳PR: 半馬123/ 全馬311, 我希望在台北ING馬
拉松時能夠跑進310, 希望歸希望, 但我也不過於強求, 最重要的是跑
得高興
三鐵裡, 我的個人最佳強項是單車. 我喜歡坡度賽, 愈陡的坡愈能挑動
我的戰鬥意志. 很可惜, 我這次來台灣不會隨身攜帶單車, 因為要轉機
2次, 上上下下的很不方便, 而且它是部新車. 也許下次吧, 我會找個
收納行李. 我這人喜歡四處騎車看, 能挖掘新的單車路線也不錯

Hi Marco,
Nice to have met you here. Same with you, I like to
hang around here to get some inner secrets from
Shiao-Gun though I actually haven't met him face to
face.

I'd totally agree that you have fun first to delve
into TPE ING marathon this coming Dec 17. I doubt if
it is a good idea to push one's physical endurance
to the very limit to strenuously grab a PR given the
thought that you fly oceans to come to Taipei for
leisure. Please just have fun with your easy pace.
That's be more worth of it.

Frankly, ING TPE marathon is an ideal event for those
who wants to advance his PR. With its all flat route
and low temperature of around 13-18 degrees Celsius,
it'd become an irresistible year-end event to race.

But mind you, Marco
Don't feel much odd if you happen to be flagged down while
running marathon by traffice enforcers. THE POLICEMEN LET
MOTORISTS PASS THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WHILE KEEPING RUNNERS
WAIT.
What an amazing apectacular! I bet you've never saw this in
any corners in Italy.

Take that easy. You'll never forget taht "when in Rome, do
as a Romans do." :)

說真格的, 對Ivan Basso捲入禁藥風波我覺得很幹, 我覺得
他確有涉入禁藥, 只是這事, 到最後在各方搓圓仔之下就
無疾告終了
我現在比較喜歡另一世界冠車車手Paolo Bettini, 這人出去
比賽就淨簡單多了, 以前我很注意Marco Pantani和
Gianni Bugno這2人, 也許你聽過這2人

Sealed,
eh eh eh It's funny your description of traffic and
policemen... anyway I competed 6 times in Milano City Marathon
and it's an horrible situation created by traffic cause
population there hates runners and active people like they
envy you...
In also competed in Rome, Zurich, Helsinki and other marathons
and everything is perfect there....
Anyway I will try my best but without any target, I already
competed more than 30 races in 2006, 2 ironman, 4 marathon and
several demanding race... I only want to have fun !

anyone would like to talk with me can write at
marco(@)triathlonlecco.it - obsviously without ()

hear soon

Marco

可惜 Marco 部落格寫的是義大利文...哈哈
小岡，我明天晚上就OK啦，你要不要七點過來?
