marco bucci @ ironcat, corrado francollini @ le porte di pietra


le porte di pietra

i enjoy coaching both beginners and age group runners and triathletes very much.

it is definitely a great pleasure in my life to be in contact with the athletes and sports.

this weekend was especially awesome because the 2013 season is starting and the winter work is paying off.

corrado francolini finshed his first trail marathon.

le finestre di pietra, a 37km with more than 1900 ascent

time: 4h 51min 45sec.

position: 46th overall.

marco bucci finished ironcat, his first ironman in 2013.

time: 9h 58min.

position: 22nd overall.

bravo!





amateur vs professional


sometimes we all forget why we should hire experienced and trained professionals.

here is a reminder.

the top three unwatchable movies


watching some movies feels like poring melting led into the eyes.

or holding your breath in the bottom of a urine pool.

or trying not to fall asleep after not sleeping for three nights.

here are three movies i made several attempts at watching and quit each time within minutes:

 

bedazzled

bedazzled with brendan fraser and elisabeth hurley.

apparently this movie is listed on imdb as one of hurley’s top movies.

 

swept away

swept away directed by buy ritchie featuring madonna.

 

zardoz

zardoz with sean connery as lead role in borat like outfit.

 

cia considered using these movies instead of waterboarding but they decided it is too cruel.

research confirms that if you watch all three of these movies in one day you might start a zombie apocalypse.

nonsense motivational statements on social media


perfect family

more and more celebrities are posting motivational statements on twitter and facbeook.

subjects range from the speed of life, value of friendship, and even joy of living.

this is an easy way for them to ping the audience and get a safe positive reaction.

result is that all these people start sounding generic and same to me.

i can not tell a difference between a metal band and a housewife.

they all repeat the same boring motivational statements, with an occasional re-post from reddit humor.

to add insult to injury, people are retweeting these statements with extreme bursts of enthusiasm.

i decided to add some of my own statements.

here goes, please share:

the world is so round that it looks like something, for everybody, tomorrow, in the fog

two fishing boats do not make a marina, a waiter does not roast the pig

sometimes life is so fast, and we do not take time, fog, again

your friends are valuable, it is best to have at least seven

woman are made of man, men are made of woman, respect and love, flowers

there is more space in our hearts than in our pockets and brains combined

a car does not make a house, a house does not make a family, a family is everything

you will succeed because the sun rises on the east and there is no fog
