Hi all,
last saturday and sunday we took part to the National Championships in Turin, Italy
nice meeting, nice people and new italian national recods broken, too!!!
i've been there with my buddies and friends Gaspare Battaglia and Ilaria Bonin
i personally only had the chance to pass in the "Elite" category and did it with a smoth 100 meters DNF and a 125 DYN (both limited distances)
Gaspare did an easy 109 DNF and 150 DYN
but the great show came from Ilaria Bonin who set two new national records
first came the DNF record with 119 meters (50m long-pool record: she previously set two records in 25m pools: 125m and 141m) and such an easy dive you could tell she just did one pool lenght
the fact is, no othe girl in Italy might dare challenging Ilaria: she actually rules in DNF
second comp, second record, this time DYN: Ilaria swam a soft and relaxed, non-packing dive with her monofin coming out after 186.75 meters
i can really tell she could reach the wall if she would, but she's so modest she stopped 13 meters before it and came out smiling soooo wide!!!!!
the fact is, we now have a huge level mermaid in Italy coming out, chasing the guys' performances
she's great, you'll hear from her for sure soon
waiting for the video to be uploaded on youtube, here is a photo of us after the comp
from left to right: Ilaria, Gaspare and me
cheers everyone
