Exercising for glory and fame!

Pictures of muscle-men, running with a tree-trunk thru the forest or down on all fours, force their ways thru the sewage water systems, you only see in boot camps or in the poor,bad television, on some private channels. But, at the “ Running Pirates of the Lausitz” are these kinds of arrangements not necessary for the team spirit, because the health and one another help in all life-circumstances are the highest manor of abnormally leisure time sportsmen. During the last weeks, they did lots of this abnormally exercising methods, because, they wanted to prepare themselves, for the strongest run of all times.   Because, at the 17th of april, 5 of them, will participate, with about 11000 other maniacs at the” Fisherman´s Friend Strongman-Run 2011. For the 5th time the slogan will be: Are they too strong for you? You´re too weak… On a 9km long round-course, you have to run twice, you have to suffer 14 hindrances. You need ability to climb, jump, swim, dive and of course being fast, tough and also you need balnce and some tactics. The course lead thru gravel, mountains of car-tyres, a mud chute and of course uneven ground. You can gain some injuries like: contusions, grazings, muscles and ligament ruptures and sometimes bone fractures, all these things happened in the last year, they say... Everybody who reach the finish line under the time limit of 3:30h, will get glory and fame. And to gain some more power and upgrade their abilities, the „Running Pirates of the Lausitz“ will exercise real hard in the last weeks and days before the event. So, you´re able to watch them exercising, no matter what the weather is like, they will train themselves, at all the hindrances the Lausitz offer them. Harald Skopi
