OK, I didn't take any pictures as I was too much into the chase.
I do not really like to write in english, its a bit difficult for me and I get bored (and sorry for the mistakes).
So here are the facts!
18:30: I stop my canoe near the Darsena (Milan). I am one of the firsts to come, I like to be prepaerd and since I'm not familar with this battlefield, I need to have a look around.
19:30: They give us the map and the ribbons. In a nervous state I start to organize my plan. I really want to survive this invasion and escape.
19:50: Ready, steady, Go! I start my to the first check point. We are in group, than we split, we run a lot.
20.xx: we arrive pretty soon at the first. Good, there's no line to wait. Let's get back to the run!
20.xx: we find some difficulties to find the second but finally we bump into it. good, let's go.
21.15: I fall into a trap. I'm running in front of the group, scouting. Suddently I watch at a guy, he's waiting at a bus stop, he watch back at me and he rise the arm. He touches me. No run, no chase, we are still and the red ribbon is barely visible. Bahh, shit!
21.20: Ok, my second life starts. I am a predator now and I feel more comfortable!
21:xx-23.xx: between check poin one and check point 4 I give my best. In the beginning I try to hunt like a wolf, in pack, I take a scalp. Soon I realize there are too many chaser for those little preys, better go alone. So I try to hunt like a leopard, hiding and jumping, now that's better. I take a cople of scalp. In the end I decide that the cheetah strategy is the one that most suit into the situation. I start running openly into groups, hunting down the slowest. I take 3 or 4 scalp. I am really tired, almost dehydratated, so I take a rest and drink. No food, food would slow me down.
23.xx: while reaching the checkpoint 5, I decide to change once again the strategy, now is the time for the cat. I run around, look for the prey and than I circle it aroun and hunt it from behind. I take another couple fo scalp, people is getting tired. And me too.
23.xx: I decide to take the metro to the sixth one, and I enjoy a scapl into the metro station of Loreto, a big hub. Now i feel more like a robber, standing in strategic points where i can see everyone but I'm not very visible.
24.xx: I meet my new hunting territory, just a couple of street on the east end. Let's wait for the prey to pass. And so happend and another couple fo scalp are taken.
24.xx Start the worst part of the journey, taking a very long walk towords the ending checkpoint.
1.xx: I reach the block of the ending and I decide I am too tired to chase any more. I walk up the hill in Bicocca and enjoy some beers. Later I will find out that the first chaser took 16 scalps, while I took just 14. Ah, bad luck, but a second place is sweet since the third took just 6 scalps.
But the journey is not finished yet, around 2 o'cock I could take a bus back to the start andaround 3.30 I reached home for a deep and long session of meditation (in my bed :))
