So…after a really short night and bad signs (a mate of mine celebrated his birthday and we were drinking beer + jaegermeister until well after 3am this morning – can you call that bad signs?! :mrgreen: ) I decided to…run!
To be honest the route was tougher than I expected and I thought about quitting after the first lap, but then I thought: You’re here now…so run! – and that’s just what I did…
I finished in position 258 (which in turn is place 218 (edit) only counting the male competitors)) – not bad! Although I didn’t finish in my “magic time” of under an hour…here’s the time:
1h 7m 58s: laps 20:04/23:40/24:14 – nontheless I’m proud and glad that it’s over ;-)
Maybe I’ll start again next year – but only if I can find the time to train a little bit more, especially on the route itself as there’s a huge difference between 10.5km flat and 10.5km of up and down (47 height meters per lap)!
Respekt!
Haha .. :-)
218, weil vor Dir noch 40 Frauen waren .. ;-) Die die weniger Runden haben sind hinter Dir gelistet .. hehe.. wäre sonst ja auch komisch .. *fg*
Auf dass ich nächstes Jahr auch Ralle überreden kann …
Hehe…corrected…
On another note: I’m really looking forward to next year…talk is cheap – bring it ;-)
Nice job Ingo. I love to run too. If you enjoy it, keep it up and nex year will be so much easier!
Yeah…and next year there would be some major advantages:
1. I know the route know, which can lead to a better preparation
2. The run will be on September 16th 2006 – so if one of my mates wants to celebrate his birthday again (around the 9th/10th September) the party won’t “hurt” my physique
On another note: it would be even more fun if someone would run with me…so I hope that at least one mate will join in next year (wink wink)…
