Fresh or tired

Today the streets have dawned tired after a weekend in which generous, have embraced the real, the unreal and unimaginable. Exhausted waiting for a lock that was supposed to calm and to reclaim the space for runners, while taking viewers inside the course, a festive category is here to stay.
And this career Ymbro source has met expectations, as was the city needed to feel it again herself. Rapid, clean and dominant, these bulls have opened the pack, fresh, and freshly showered, compared with a halter starting to feel the weight of fatigue in his hooves. Two minutes and 33 seconds on a bull's head that has left half the final minute. And that seems to fulfill the premise that if the bug is noble does not increase the danger that lead and make its way alone.
One of his brothers also followed suit and took a run at the end of Santo Domingo to detach the pack. In this way, the meek become luxury to be gregarious, to push the laggards, encouraging them not to stop and be curious about this whole movement that continues behind them in their path. Because there are few things more frightening than a bull is back and change the meaning of his trot.
The bull like today help address this Monday almost sleepwalking. Bello and with little consequence, sets a new record: only taken to a hospital with mild concussion on the finger of one hand.
Maybe we can change the words of Plautus and sanferminizarla, that's what we got up early again today and dream makes us bold. The bull man is man. Especially if you run drunk, not knowing where or thinking as recorded with the phone when it all happens. Today, with fewer people and more whole each has been able to do what he does best. And we enjoyed it.

Today if

Lots of people. The San Fermin running of Sunday always attract thousands of people who want to tell your friends, family and coworkers who have run the bulls. The calculation is complicated in Mobile but today the tide has been speculated that they could be near the 4,500 in the journey.
So it's time Sunday with his majestic Miura, corniveletos, with a seriousness of old professors who know what they do and can patiently endure the jokes of disadvantaged students, the infamous pat on the back, touches on the antler, the most absurd folly. And get rid of them without fuss, as one who does not like things.
Today the Vlachs have been those who have taken control. They set the pace and allowed, that despite the overcrowding, living barriers, those who are turned into pillars of salt annoying to the passage of torada, who have seen nice runs. Some sprints that require excellent physical shape, a knowledge of what is being done, and that television can not always get between the fast chaos of the moment.
The photographic lens, a lover of detail, able to stop the precise gesture to freeze the moment in the midst of heat, has been in the midst of the flood, the tense calm and beautiful is the person with the bull. Only listens to his heartbeat, which becomes a crowd. Today, against all odds, it has been possible. Bulls have been opening the race, Miura huge flying mythical beasts. And just a few bruises. Maybe send the bull, is not so bad.

Painless Curve
Photos Luis Azanza. Berta Text Bernart
If a cartoonist cartoons have become today's closure, I could have used a lot ... .. and some other ziummm plop plop and falls to accompany the illustrations. Very quickly, almost seen and unseen, like Superman changing into a cab, if you can find one in this era of mobile phone plans. No holes for the good runners, which are lost in the mass. A story with beginning, middle and end, but with little room for the epic.
Just a twit time in which to summarize in less than 140 characters, a nearly painless closure, and a bit bland, which the oxen have set the pace-forward, always forward, and yet has resulted in a gored in Telefónica. At the risk of closure to the bull's horns is where the beauty of this unique event, which takes him away from the precast and pre-cooked, the theme park of emotions.
It is as if, in this fast graphic novel that elapses every day at eight o'clock, the supposed villains (with love and respect for Dolores Aguirre Ybarra of) were accompanied by their parents in their pursuit of the heroes and need permission to try to catch them. It may sound strange, but anyone who has seen many bulls will say that the "bulls are good people" and that despite his youth rarely have an excess of martial ardor, as shown by the curve of Merchants.
Therefore, as requested by the responsible teenagers, we must give them the benefit of the doubt and do not control much. So young and bulls can run, aware of the danger, enjoying the feeling of freedom offered brief career. Thus, both Vlachs and as runners are the real superheroes and halters will the discreet background they had in the past. And we have more than a twit: snap closure on 9 # # Dolores AguirreYbarra a Telefónica I picked chocolate # sanfermin11

The Barley Gago on my street

If the closure has become a legendary street, and has made it almost pronounceable in many languages, is the Estafeta. The long straight where the bulls strung, the pack stretches and lucky enough slots open for boys alternate in the races. The speed, especially with the pace at which we have accustomed the toradas in recent years, remains of vertigo.
The Barley Gago have come with a joyous gallop, without displaying his fame, along with Jandilla of enfants terribles of the enclosure. Except one. Aeschylus reddish-brown bull behind, but it was clear the way to go despite the danger and the stitches that have come from the hand of recklessness. When a waiter has responded by launching cited against him, with the result of a puncture in the leg. And already in the bullring when a young Australian has been crossed, citing insistently, has been gored.
When you call a bull Aeschylus encouraged to a long career with a clear goal: reaching the pens above all, without fail. The bravery is assumed. Not surprisingly the Greek writer, author of The Seven of Thebes, only one more than the bulls of the herd, participated in the battle of Marathon. And with a marathon is not played. Neither the Estafeta, or any other party.

Walking with the holy
6 Torrestrella and mad cow

Despite gestures are applied every year, the first running always catches us off guard a bit, with a city exhausted after the longest day, 6, and the feeling that it may be possible that there are still eight days ahead . There is anticipation, looking forward, comments from those who are reunited in their favorite sections, hugs ... The imagination is triggered and shaped seems to remember that many minutes are barely a few seconds. Everything seems new and old at once.
The Torrestrella, bulls with character, with a reputation for unpredictable, however, have made a book closure. Fast, with the defeat just to look askance at the sides, well taught to follow a much more gentle muscle than fat. Ordered two and half minutes with a few falls that have resulted in four injured by contusions, which have been taken to hospital, but whose outcome is slight.
But perhaps the dismissal of the first day this closure has starred strange and even unpleasant scenes: more alcohol in some viewers ethyl groups in the journey to the never-runners may call and bloated faces that seemed to have clear What is a closure. Including some Rubiaceae whose backs had little to envy a halter, with a bag full of beer, drink cans and crushed with the feet on the cobblestones in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento. That if, between drinks, as it did a photo, which initiated a movement of a haka, which lie on the ground to do something similar to a push. Where have reached staggering career, hard to say.
Another tense moment occurred also in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento when the young men coming up through Santo Domingo, among which are mingled the extras who want to run without feeling the breath of the bull and those who had come down to sing and try to place in Santo your favorite section have been met with a human cap. Clueless again, tired, or just waiting for something which had no very clear reason, seemed not to want to move forward. Finally, after the occasional push, each piece has been fitting into place. Many of them happy to have participated, will never be aware of the dangers of relying on a wall, or stop at the entrance to see the Estafeta torada the curve.
With the rocket, the speed, has led to break the reverie of the city awake. However, there was another surprise, another little hazing of first day. A halter, having flown with the Torrestrella fast, decided he wanted to return to the starting point. As if the cow craziest fiestas a question has been turned around and came to Santo Domingo, pushing some boys, according to their appointments, going from one side to another.
We do not know if he had forgotten something, if I had penchant for the fence, if all your training to run faster than anyone, has developed a desire for leadership that the closure does not cover. More than Torrestrella star. Or just another red herring return. A speck of innocent fun that has lasted a little longer confinement seen and unseen, who knows little, after such a long wait.
