Like every year, the marathon in Willingen is like a dress rehearsal
for me before the TAC. Sadly I lay down the whole week before
the Marathon with the flu, because it’s a stormy weather out there.
When I travelled there on Friday the 11th of june, Ifelt a little
bit better, so I decided very spontaneously to ride the marathon
on saturday.I wanted to ride the short distance and to ride it
easily and relaxed. At the starting line I also met Elvis, who
really looked well-rested.
Shortly after 7:30 AM in the morning was the start and the whole
fleet had to go uphill for the first. Soon I felt really good
also my pulse was on a normal level under tis conditions, so I
decided to hear what my heart told me and pushed the pedals.
Everything went quite good during the race and so I finished the
short distance ( 51,9km and 16,26m of altitude ) with a time 2:53h.
Later I met Elves again, who didn´t looked that way, he looked
out before.
Afterwards I made my way to the sales booth to get some news from
the bike market and to give a ride to one or another bike, just
to proof. But my very own “ Black Pearl” is still the best…
It was a wonderful weekend in Willingen and I also met some acquaintance
faces from the team.
