Run Fire Salt Lake 40Km - Race Report
Date: 19 th August 2023 Location: Tuz Gölü, Turkey Race Distance: 40Km Everything started on what was supposed to be a usual Friday afternoon at work, on the 28 th July 2023 to be precise. By that time, I had already changed my summer plans at least 3 times and on that 28 th July, in the morning, my upcoming working travel planned for August got cancelled. Well, I was (again) in the typical “Chiara never has a plan” situation. I was about to get my flight tickets to go back to Italy, I thought of spending a couple weeks in my home country, but then my friend Yunus called me. Before telling you, what happened during that call, I will spend a few words talking about who is Yunus as he played a huge role in this adventure (and much more). Well, now it’s hard to be concise, but I promise I will do my best. Before I met him, I used to run half marathons and back in June 2023 I had just signed up for my first full marathon (that I still have to run on the 19 th November 2023) – wha
