Challenge Accepted!

Hey fellow data nerds and endurance enthusiasts,

Here’s something that’s going to make your spreadsheets and heart rates race faster: the La Diagonela/La Sfida Combined Ranking PDF! Yes, you read that right – a neat, well-organized ranking PDF for all you archival fanatics and nerdy analysts out there.

If you’ve ever scoured the official race pages desperately hoping for this kind of detailed data, only to come up empty, this one’s for you. The race organizers may have forgotten, but not me (and my dedicated friend, who pulled a night shift extracting the raw data and generating the combined table)! I just prettied it up for download because, let’s be real, how else are we going to dissect these times and run wild with analyses?

What’s inside the PDF?

• Total times for La Diagonela and La Sfida combined, formatted in beautiful hh:mm:ss,x precision (you’re welcome).
• The delta to the first rank (because, who doesn’t like knowing exactly how far behind we were?).
• Clean formatting with just the right touch of modern design – perfect for both data analysis and, dare I say, framing.

Happy analyzing!

La Sfida contemplation time:

Speaking of La Sfida, registration for next year is already open. And here I am, staring at my tired arms from last weekend’s efforts and my watch telling me that I’m about to lose fitness if I don’t bike to and from work twice a week for recovery rides. How’s that for motivation? But the question remains – do I add La Sfida again next year, or does the data nerd in me demand an even deeper ranking analysis across all combinations? Decisions, decisions.

On the health front:

While my body debates whether it’s fit enough for another round of snow-fueled glory, my kids have decided to embrace the season’s „sick and sneeze“ special. With a house full of tiny sniffles and coughs, I’m channeling every bit of willpower to dodge this bullet and keep my streak of health alive (at least until February – please, universe, after last year, I need this).

So, if you’re curious about last year’s La Diagonela/La Sfida rankings, or you just want to join me in laughing at the lengths we go for both data and fitness, download the PDF, sip your recovery drink, and enjoy!

Let me know your thoughts, and share your nerdy analyses – the internet can always use more cool graphs. Until next time, I’ll be out there biking, avoiding germs, and convincing myself that adding La Sfida again won’t be the death of me.
