Downhill all the way in Italy!

[roseabi]

Hey I had to post this

A friend just ran this beautiful Italian marathon last Sunday in an amazing 3 hours and 8 minutes. He is very quick always, but check out the course profile - it's pretty much downhill all the way!

So tempting...

... unless you find yourself running while the "Bora" wind blows (it can reach 200km\h and bring snow and bitter cold).

yep but i dont think your allowed to start at the top and run down!

Ha ha, I suppose it would be a bit cheating to take a helicopter with me? Mind you, for the sake of balance (and the quads) it's probably generally best to go up hills before going down em...
