My experience at the event:

This is what I needed after spending almost 24 hours either flying or waiting in the Dubai Airport: a race. Beppe and my cousin Renato managed to convince me to take part in the flat and fast Cinque Mulini by night, a reduced version of the famous cross-country race.

The race was very crowded, and started quite slow. After managing to pass most of the slow runners in the first km, Beppe and I accelerated and ended up with some crazy splits until we literally stopped for a good 2-3 minutes queueing inside the old mill....
After we kept pushing looking for a decent time (without the slow parts of the first loop - there were two - we would have probably finished around the 45 minutes mark).

Eventually the official time gave us a 48.05 which was fine. I've even managed to get called on the podium in order to get a "special" prize, as the runner who came from the farthest in order to take part in the race!
