"Prima di tutto, un sentito grazie a tutti per i tantissimi e bellissimi messaggi ricevuti (fin troppo "di parte" ...!)
La gara di oggi è stata durissima, non solo per il vento gelido che a tratti, portava via.
Al trentesimo km mi si è proprio spenta la luce, arrivare in fondo è stato durissimo e sono comunque contenta di me stessa per essere riuscita a non mollare in quegli ultimi 12 e interminabili km, forse i più duri di tutte le maratone che ho corso finora. Ho dato tutto quello che potevo in quel momento.
Il risultato di oggi non può certo soddisfarmi, anche se io e la mia allenatrice Beatrice Brossa sapevamo che dopo un europeo così intenso non sarebbe stato per nulla facile ben figurare in una maratona così impegnativa come NY. Correre qui è qualcosa di grandioso e nonostante tutto adoro questa gara e le migliaia di persone che la rendono speciale."

Valeria takes a second place after a really hard race. Italy win also the gold medal in the marathon by team.
This is really a great result for her! Her words after the finish line:
"Questo è un argento che vale tanto, non si deve mai dare nulla per scontato. Il percorso era davvero tosto, le salite si sentivano e ora ce l'ho tutte sulle gambe. Non ho da rammaricarmi di nulla sulla mia condotta di gara. L'ho vissuta come piace a me: sempre nelle posizioni di testa, anche se nella seconda salita forse non avrei dovuto assecondare troppo la croata quando l'ha messa giù pesante. Sapevo che la Daunay era l'avversaria più temibile, mi aveva già battuta a New York e ai Mondiali di mezza maratona a Copenaghen. E' una che non molla mai. Io sapevo che l'oro era lì ad un passo, ma verso il 39esimo chilometro è arrivato un crampetto al polpaccio a darmi fastidio, sentivo delle stecche pazzesche. Il crono non l'ho nemmeno guardato, poi mi sono accorta che è identico (2h25:27, ndr) a quello delle Olimpiadi di Londra dove sono arrivata ottava. E' il mio secondo tempo di sempre, non l'avrei mai detto su un percorso del genere dove è venuto fuori anche il record dei Campionati (2h25:14 della Daunay, ndr). L'oro a squadre non è una sorpresa, siamo fortissime! Adesso ho bisogno di una bella vacanza, parto dopodomani per la Sardegna con mio marito Manlio e i miei figli Arianna e Leonardo. Oggi erano tutti a vedermi e lungo il percorso sono riuscita anche a dargli il cinque. Un'altra maratona? Intanto devo smaltire questa, poi mi piacerebbe tornare a New York. L'anno prossimo non penso di correre i Mondiali di Pechino, vorrei prendermi una stagione di respiro".

I'm satisfied about my 5th place in the most famous marathon in the world!
The race was really weird, affected by a strong and cold wind. I decided not to run in the front and to stay in the group, because of the wind and of the difficulty of the course. The first splits were really slow, first 5 km in 19'03"!
I ran the first half in 1h16'01" and the second one in 1h12'21" even if I was suffering from 26 km. I really did my best and I never gave up, so I'm happy ran NYCM!
Now I'll rest for few weeks and then I'll be ready to start a new running 2014.
After last trainings Valeria is ready to start. Below, you can find a small photografic/video reportage of the last days.
