Becca di Nona


Tale Victor Duregon

The Aosta-Becca di Nona is a mountain race, even a sky race, which belongs to the small group of racing-event.
It 's the most important part of the Valle d'Aosta, where the commitment of local athletes and organizational resources is at most regional.
There is usually a qualified participation also from other regions, particularly in Piedmont and Lombardy Triveneto, as well as from France, Switzerland and Spain and this not only possible to establish contacts and relationships, helps to sharpen the real sporting values \u200b\u200bin field . The
Becca di Nona, 3,142 m high, has a sleek profile and hangs from Aosta on the south side. From Piazza
Chanoux, salottto the city and place of departure, at an altitude of 570, he sees perfectly the top, as seen from the top of the city, with avenues and buildings, and perhaps even a banner start.

A challenge from the ancient taste: ascend and descend by Becca, uphill climb of 2600 meters, then go back down. Check final
near the place of departure, Felinaz Plan, where there are sports facilities Charvensod with showers, kitchen and every comfort. Total about 30 km. A typhoid
incredible, lots of people along the route, with the crest of the hill and the top covered with over a hundred people, including spectators and fans hikers. Cameraman
Rai and Sky, professional and amateur photographers everywhere, a helicopter hovers overhead roaring all morning.
The route is well marked and takes place on relatively good roads and rough trails. The slope, however, is always strong, and fierce un'infilata continuous long climbs. Exciting
the last part, beyond the 2,500 m with the path that climbs steeply up a huge heap of stones to get to the Col Carrel, with Federigo Bivouac high above his head, and from there to rise again towards the summit ridge. In front, near the north wall dell'Emilius.
A lot is up, however, also down, to be held often at full speed
background clean and fast, but very steep.


So in extreme cases, which generally occur after three / four / hours of racing, requiring prudence, experience, attention to detail
style down, shoes, socks, sticks, etc.
.
On this basis the participation is small but very qualified.
This year has been reached, however, the record of participants, about 300 total, divided between the two gareche take place simultaneously, 'up & down', and 'one up'.

"It takes courage to put in some banners

This is the account that I Pino and Ruis we exchange to relieve each other. We left at six
from Cascine Vica, we came among the first in Chanoux Square, and enjoy the arrival of the participants in dribs and drabs. The first we see is called Paul Rinaldi, Bergamo, come 7 th overall. Then here Emanuela Brizio, world champion,
friendly and available for a photo, talks about the Trofeo Kima , who won last week, graduating World Champion. Here then Raffaella Miravalle, the wheel guard, wonderful sky outsider elite runners, won a lot this year, but still does not stop to amaze. Here again, Roberto Giacchetto, the young winner Royal Sky Ultra Marathon 2010. I see mention a small extension of heating, has elastic and feline movements.
looks like a talented outsider, not hyper, mostly as the others around, but going strong and enjoys the same.
then I see Ornella Bosco reappearance after a long period of injury, Giancarlo Costa, strong athlete and expert commentator Running Passion, I recognize Giuliano Cavallo, the ruler of the Trail dellaValdigne, and gradually a few appearances in Piedmont, not random: Roberto Garbati, Silvio Galliano, Charles Degiorgio, the animator of 3 Shelters Val Pellice, Marina Plavan, Alma Rrikka, Paola Didero, Lelio Boaglio, Massimo Pezzetti, Dominic Morello. All people roasts, unperturbed. How to say 'When the going gets tough ...'.

"It will be a success not get past" whispers Pino. But now we are locked in the lions' enclosure. Let's go.
Take now the Avenue of the Conseil des Commis, look up, Becca above the top of my head .. Cross the railway line of the subway station, then the bridge over the Dora and after two hundred meters in plan. ... Go with the dances .. climb, climb and still climbing.

The race takes place in an absolutely regular, discrete-time departure, in bright sunshine and clear air on top of Becca, a magnificent 360 ° views, Mount Emilius, the Grand Combin, Finally, the Group and the Grivola Rutor. Occhiate well in the distance on one side of Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn on the other.

But this can be seen from the above photos Pino Ruis is used to do 'in progress', from the race, and I must say it deserves in the warm thanks of all. Must be a good additional effort, even psychological.

However we managed to get not just between the last .. Pino is very satisfied, reconciled with the great mountain due to bad weather after the sinking of his participation in the Mont Blanc.
I am also happy, even if I did the second half of the descent almost walking, for a strong pain in my toes. Precisely the problems of the descent of the shoes .... I said above.
Before there was a dramatic duel between world champion Emanuela Brizio and Raffaella Miravalle. Emily was perhaps the Kima in the legs, but Raffaella attacked, took the lead at the top, only to be put in the crosshairs down and beaten in a sprint finish to one meter! Behind them the void. Grande Raffaella! Emanuela Brava.


In the men Dennis Brunod, favorite local ruler of the latest editions, is beaten to just 42 "from Friuli Tadei PIVKA leader the specialty of the Italian Championship. Dennis sincere recognition of the superiority of the adversary. Two giants!
In third place, 10 minutes later, Paul Gotti.
In the race to climb alone, the great enterprise of Ornella Bosco, who hits a target the king. Predicted by few, but that obviously knew what was going on, after a running-race child, returning in a big race after almost two years of absence due to injury. A great success for
Silvio Galliano, who arrives first in the ranking of the Master's race alone climb. Sumptuous
the preparation of the finish area, with every comfort available and the perfect organization awards.

While waiting for the judges to sample check the trailer, to make sure the backpack weights more than two pounds in a backpack and that there is material
obligatory giaccavento, long pants, whistle, astronautical towel, a water supply and food, mobile phones, front parts and spare batteries.

In the crowd of runners I see .... Steu eehiii Steuerle ... BY THAT WE DO TOGETHER .....
The Speaker of words and stuffs us around every 10min asks us to articulate the name of the race course in French UTMB:

Uuuuuuuu
Teeeeeee
Emmmmmmm
Beeeeeee


Blessed are they who enjoy the faces of Our neighbors are strained, I by me I lie down on the backpack and very nearly take a nap ....
20 minutes from the start the national anthem and then all stood before the Italian one that we all sing, Livio he reminds us that 'We are ready to die' not say 'for good luck.
Then the French national anthem, and finally to Switzerland. Following are
respondi routes French, Italian and Swiss remind us that this year will be 'very hard for the rain and cold ..... thank goodness they gave us this news' cause we thought to go for a trip to Portofino.

Heaven and 'now covered and drop us some wet, some bring out the rain, some garbage bags .... after all speeches on the binding material, hard to know what's' inside the skull of some people really difficult.

the giant screen shows images of the front rows, all the athletes' speed in front of them.
starts first on the disabled sedans Guided by a group of trailer .... I have no words, make the incredible journey these sedans to
3ruote for 166km.

Two Three .... a party to the music 'The Conquest of Paradise' of Vangelis .... I have tears in his eyes, emotion, and 'a lot and the streets of Chamonix wings crowd join us. All
greet us and encourage us all moments that will remain indelible. The smile on his face
Andrea, Livio, Greg, Pino after the initial run to bottling les Ouches road and then come to the gym
climbing, tap into the stream of trailers, on the trails.

Sixth km it starts to rain and the sky 'of a very dark color .... I do not think anything but run and the rain does not exist, only half an hour later we decide to stop all together and pull out coats .... in a few minutes of rest we passed at least 200/300 .... incredible athletes. The Arve

cross to bring us up area of \u200b\u200bLes Houches, typhoid of us assembled there by the roadside 'a charge and a powerful shock
although at the moment so full of adrenaline did not we would need. Past
Les Ouches start the climb to the Col de Vouza, which is not 'all but impossible to make a thousand and we adapt ourselves while under the cloak
we are now wet with rain and sweat.


With what we have eaten lunch with hunger will not speak but consumption in the confetti and willingly 'my padded pouch, but with the rain', the confetti, are melting and then try to consume as much 'as possible .... that good ... gnammmmm.

I look at the snake of the trailer with their wheezing, mixed with soft flooring product from the race on the path has become muddy. After
a doubt this perception grips me, it 's possible to continue with this weather in Courmayeur? I know the area of \u200b\u200bthe Col du Bonhome and '
dotted with glaciated knobs that bad if I do not remember some of them are blackened by lightning.
will hide these thoughts and concentrate on chasing up the 3 dell'Apolicasse Greg, Livio and Andrea.

Ends climb to the Col de Vouza and a light plane corribile false leads us to the descent to St.Gervais.
Descent steep, muddy, on which I keep up with the chopsticks. Meanwhile
and 'already' night, rain and light the lights ... no ... Andrea want to conserve battery power, some in its DNA chromosome Liguria.

Doubt me reappears and begins to solidify, with this weather I will be able 'to get to the top Contamines, more' I will not go 'forward, retire to the Col du Bonhomme not talked about, complicated return .... So decision leaves 'the race to Contamines, change me' and you can enjoy a hearty meal with a comfortable return to Chamonix.

After a few minutes to arrive here at around 21:30 in the group with which we travel, the first trailer of SMS, say they were stopped at Contamines and the race and 'off.
Some are incredulous and would like them ... not true .... Continue anyway .... Mercantour alas they do not say anything '. However

Fiuuuuuu .... honor and 'save.

Disappointment and 'a lot, but in my opinion there was nothing after starting the race. Idle speed automatic
the descent towards Saint Gervais, where we arrived at 10.00.
The speaker insists that the race 'is now suspended, at 21km.
met a lady who claims to be the wife of a UFO responsible for insurance, we ask the reason for the stop, she tells us that the organization
UFO together decided to suspend the match due to landslides and hill Seigne bad weather for the next 24 hours.

Now, after exactly one half, and we rush to the refreshment of me biting two large tomatoes, bananas already 'peeled oranges,
and thick slices of bread with honey, after the voltage reaches nheeeeeeee hunger.

We change clothes soaked in water sports center and Afterwards' I propose a fat drunk ..... so now .... and so 'we rush at the pub waiting for the shuttle to Chamonix.


shuttles us back to Chamonix where we arrived at 2.00 am, they advise us to go get the packages that had to go to Courmayeur .... So they never moved from Chamonix !!!!!!!. Atrocious doubt, then the organizers knew ??!?!?!?. On the banks of the Arve

arrive I see first finischer the CCC (400) that were not blocked, and 'cause the organization has also blocked the CCC, some athletes and some Trient Vallorcine.
finischer I'm happy for the CCC applaud and urge earnestly.
Since the canteen and 'open we take advantage to eating a hot soup, then return to the hotel around 3.30 am with Andrea Livio mntre with Greg and we give a goodbye the next morning.

Andrea that night and 'back home. The morning
Next, with Livy and Greg completed the delivery and pick-Chip package. Meeting
Steu angry and tells me that the organization has sent an SMS in the night where proposed, participants UTMB, to allocate August 28, 2010 at 10:15 am Saturday by bus from Courmayeur to Chamonix at 6:15 am
I lament this news' cause I have not received any SMS and other like me .... but I would still Trailer party .....

light of the evolution of events I decided to enjoy the holiday in Chamonix, the arrival of the CCC finisher, TDS, UTMB and always thrilling finish to the day after a wonderful trip, by train from Chamonix -> Montenvers, the Mer de Glace and the Glacier caves.
