SIGMA SPORT Bike Marathon in Neustadt 2007

(33m/53km middle distance, up to about 4265ft) I had already heard about the Sigma-Marathon beforehand and had actually always wanted to participate in it, but for some reason or another, it never worked out. This year, nothing was going to get between me and it and I'm looking forward to it.



We left early and so were able to snatch a parking place very near where the event took place - right by the showers. That alone was just fantastic, because the event was not meagerly attended.



Ubi had "only" been riding his racing bike this season and so enjoyed the short distance, where he was still able to finish in (a thankless?) 4th place.



In block 53, we detected another teammate - whata surprise: Matthias made it to the start today too, jk. By the way, the track was the bomb - even better than I had expected.



The weather was great too and I was able to finish - on thechnically rather difficult track - in 51st place.
There were a few traffic jams on the middle distance, because of the many participants and I was even forced to dismount a few times, because I had to maneuver some of the passages on foot.
So, like I said - an awesome track that wasn't as easy as some others. I'd rather get off my bike a few times than be yawning from boredom, right? Right! I believe the Sigma-Marathon will find its rightful place in my race calendar in 2008 - assuming that nothing gets in the way - Cheers!
