Moin, Moin,

on the 3rd of july I participated at the bike-marathon in Wetter on the 49km course with about 1400m of altitude. For me, it became a true red hot battle, with one of the hottest days of the year with at least permanent temperatures from over 30 degrees, as my tacho said, sometimes up to 36 degrees, some of the others talked about 40 degrees. Before the race I already knew, that I would have some problems over the day, so I started very easy, but until the end I had to suffer about vomitting and headaches. For the first I saw riders to get of their bikes just a few hundred meters before the finish line to lay or sit down for a while. From the 800 participants arrived only 600 in between the time limit. On the way I lost the possilbility of my view, because I wasn´t able to clean my classes anymore with my all sweated jersey, so I didn´t had the chance to see the way right, it became very difficult for me during the single trails, but lucky me, in between were some viewers who helped me cleaning my glasses with a clean and dry towel. Despite the fact of the hot temperatures, for me was my time really bad and when I looked on the tacho at the end, there stood something from 65km, okay 1 or 2 from and to the car, but 14km more than ??? Well, everything seemed good organized, some of the way markers were replaced by the official team before the race, which have been moved by some fools. With some more km on my clock, I can retrack my time, okay, we put this down as an exercise race for the coming marathon next weekend in Albstadt. The weather forecast said, that it could be a little bit hotter than this weekend and maybe a little chance of thunderstorms…wait´n see…sounds interesting. Many greetings Elvis
