10 K MARATÓN MONUMENTAL PREMIER SANTIAGO DE AMÉRICA: LA MIA GARA Ieri ho partecipato per la 4ª volta a questa manifestazione svoltasi a Santiago De Los Caballeros in Repubblica Dominicana 🇩🇴. In realtà ero iscritto anche nel 2021 ma causa una serie di imprevisti, il mio viaggio verso la seconda città più grande del paese, si è concluso a Puerto Plata. Comunque...sono affezionato a questa gara perchè è stata la prima da me corsa all'estero e, non essendo troppo lontano dalla mia "base" qui nei Caraibi, cerco sempre di parteciparvi. Mi sono pre iscritto mesi fa (non senza riscontrare difficoltà nel farlo)...la voglia di provare a correre la mezza era forte ma alla fine ho optato per la 10 Km. Il giorno prima della gara, dopo varie indecisioni che mi hanno portato a non prendere i primi 2 pullman, alla fine decido di andare e verso le 12:00 salgo sulla "Metro" che mi porterà a destinazione. Questa volta decido di cambiare hotel, non il solito H. Colonial, albergo di dubbio gusto ma il vicino Hotel Dorado (la posizione della struttura è non lontano dalla partenza). Arrivato a destinazione chiamo un "Uber" ed utilizzerò questo ottimo ed economico servizio svariate volte nelle giornate di sabato e domenica. Arrivo in hotel...decisamente economico ma di infima qualità...mi sistemo e vado Centro Di Cultura a prendere il kit ed il pettorale...vado poi a mangiare qualcosa e, prima di concludere con la cena, mi dirigo ad un centro commerciale precisamente al negozio "Oio". La sveglia domenica suona alle 05:00 perchè la gara comincerà alle 06:35... Con il sole ☀ che ancora non è sorto, si comincia. I partecipanti sono veramente molti. È un percorso che conosco e so che è difficile. Da subito capisco che non sarà una giornata facile ma una cosa molto positiva c'è: punti di idratazione ogni due km più uno aggiuntivo a metà della salita della Calle Del Sol. La mia intenzione è quella di provare a forzare nella seconda parte del percorso ma un fastidio anomalo alla gamba destra mi impedisce di seguire il mio proposito. Provo svariate volte ad allungare ma non è proprio giornata. Arrivati a Calle Mella, so che manca poco ma la strada restante sarà la più dura da percorrere. Si svolta a sinistra e comincia la Calle Del Sol... ormai ci siamo. È dura anche perchè il sole è sorto ed il caldo, che comunque non mancava, comincia a farsi sentire. Faccio la salita di cattiveria e, prima il punto di idratazione insperato poi la vista del monumento, mi fanno uscire le forze per portare a casa anche questa fatica...ora,finita l'ultima asperità, c'era da prendere una rapida decisione: o aumentare per arrivare in progressione, oppure tirare fuori la bandiera italiana e godersi il finale. Opto per la seconda soluzione tanto quanto avrei mai guadagnato spingendo ? Quante posizioni ? In più non avrei fatto il mio personale sulla gara quindi bandiera in mano e via a tagliare il traguardo. Medaglia, ristoro e ritorno in hotel dove faccio la doccia 🚿 (fredda, porca troia) poi chiamo un Uber e torno a Sosúa. https://youtu.be/ZIFlGL-c3PA

Per quanto riguarda la distanza dei 10 Km, ritengo che, rispetto alle precedenti edizioni varie cose siano migliorate ma ancora alcuni dettagli vanno risolti. In primo luogo tutti gli incroci devono essere in totale sicurezza mentre 2 di questi lungo la Calle Del Sol erano incustoditi. In più, visto che vengono dati sostanziosi premi in denaro al primo dominicano ed al primo santiaghero, ritengo che, in tutte le distanze, vadano premiati i primi 5 stranieri (fuori dagli assoluti) non con soldi ma con un semplice trofeo
