Hola Landlubbers,

Now...CHOP-CHOP....and suddenly I find myself at the Startline of the Challenge Canaries 2009,An Open MTB-Marathon on Cran Canary the 14TH of March. The…my Queen of the Sun Called, Petra Wonisch from Canary-Bikes for the 5th Open MTB and everybody from Europe incl. 3 Marathon-National Champions were coming.


At the Parc del Sur in Maspalomas, At the Marathon start and finish line, there is the normal Canary madness of carnival and what about me? I Find the way for the middle Distance over 65km and 1500 difference in altitude


Full throttle from Start on asphalt to get the fastest group and on a wide aisle, things came to a fight on the way up to San Bartolome over the Eagle Mountain Pass. Bent off on a barbarous Trail,while I was surfing in a dry river bed, two km to go,abruptly I had a flat tyre,so what to do, changing just about 2km to go or go on? I decided to go on and became during the drive in on the finish line some morally support from my chaser.


With a time of 3:09:17 h I stood again on the podium for the 2nd place in my age group(Overall 13) like at the Fuertebike Marathon 3 weeks ago. It was a nice trip in the South of this Island, hard and trashy, but perectly honoured and assured, so it made every participator the most of Fun…


I will stay another few Days in the Sun --
