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 --
