Last saturday at the 2nd MBH-Benefit-Performance-Run in Ibbenbüren-Uffeln started 4 sportsmen from Rheine. For Christine and Rouwen was it the first race of their life. There were about 230 starters for the 5km track. Mike Sonntag and Karin Hageböck from the Pirate-Team coached these two in the last weeks for their first 5k-run. Don´t care about the time, just the idea of finishing. Sonntag and Hageböck ran with the two novices, to get them healthy to the finish line.

The weather and the organization of the organizer promised to be a good tournament. We placed us right at the end at the starting line, so we couldn´t interfere with the other starters. At 14:30°´clock was the start of the race. Chriatinae had a very high pulse just after the start, but I think she was just a liitle bit more nervous.
Sonntag was the man for the speed from the team, so, that everyone were able to finish. Rouwen Schmitt finally could run for himself, and finished with a time of 32:23min and finished 10th in his age-group 30-34 and 148th overall. Karin Hageböck guided Christiane Schmitt savely to the finish line with a time of 38:24min. Mike Sonntag also started at the following 10km run with about 300 starters and arrived at the finish with a time of 44:21min as 32nd overall and 9th in his age group 40-44.
