Uli - CEO Americas
Has-been domestique-style roadie and sub 9 hour Ironman turned wannabe sub 2:30h marathoner.
Happy places: riding up Albula pass in a race, soloing down 1st Ave at NYC Marathon and surfing the net until it's empty.
Unhappy place: if someone talks about age group placings.
Simo - Italy ambassadorUnhappy place: if someone talks about age group placings.
After playing in an Italian soccer team for 20 years and breaking a considerable amount of bones, Simo started to run to stay fit at the ripe old age of 30 and quickly got hooked on marathoning. But he did not stop at the classic 42.2k distance. He finished in the Top10 of famous 100k Passatore on his first crack at the long haul and will take it from there.
In 2013, Simo may have lost the fight against cancer but he just keeps running in heaven.
