Hello Pirates,

Until now we ran 4 stages of the Riesenbecker 6 days and I still go on. At this moment I´m on the 195th place from about 500 starters and in my age-group 45-49, I´m on the 57th place. At this point we already ran 90km and my time is at this moment 6:23:20h, almost half an hour faster than two years ago in 2008 and 79 places ahead. Slowly my legs are beginning to get tired, but I think to myself, it´s not only me… The stages are quite difficult because of the large amount of altitudes, but thanks to the wonderful organization its still making fun….J Somehow… The atmosphere on the course and at the finish line is unbelievable. Many of the viewers are travelling with the race race each day, while you can find them everyday, somewhere new on the course. There are still two more stages to run and on Thursday we´re all coming back to finish in Riesenbeck and hopefully all healthy... Lovely greetings to all Pirates and always think about that: “ learning thru and of pain “ J Mike
