Pirate
I enjoyed myself like a little kid on christmas for the the festival and the marathon.
Finally again, hanging out with more than 100 of like-minded people, talking about technical stuff and even more better to compare our state of fitnis on Saturday on the course. It´s also double the fun, when you´re together with your mate Willy and his girl friend Jana.

For the second time I started as a Pirate, I think it brings the fortune to me, but more of this later ;-) the weather did a good job on Friday, with summer temperatures and a stiff breez. On Saturday for the marathon time, clouds came out, but it was comfortable warm, and for heaven´s sake, Petrus must be a MTB, because he only gently let it rain in the afternoon, after almost everybod finished the race.


I gotta say it, it was an awesome course, I always will remmber the the last rooty uphill part just before the end of the first round with the serpentine uphill part to the Ettelsberg, the blocked downhill part following by the painful increase with a group of 4, which made quite a good pace, and closing the long and neverending forest insterstate with a gentl but constantly increase with doesn´t wanted to end.
I even saw some Pirates, as well like lots of Pirate jerseys. I gotta say it again, the weather did a good job that day, I get along with 2x075l of appletizer plus 2 bars for 95km, so just before the finish line I got a little feeeling of becoming in cramp in my thigh, but it still was enough for a sprint towards the finish line.


In fact, I had a time of 5:02h and the 64th place in my aga-group, yeah still men. After the 19th place in Clausthal, my second better placement for me, after racing for 3 years as a hobby bitch, for the first time again real races.
The Pirate Jersey gives wings to you…


In the evening I filled up again my carbohydrates-storage by eating Tarte Flambee and a few alcoholic free wheat beers and a big hot fudge sundae.
The sales booth was some kind of stimulus satiation on Friday, because, I didn´t wuite know where to go, but soon I got the point, because I left the thing over loosing weight of my bike behind me, so I could walk quite easy all thru the carbon parque.It´s not that interesting for me anymore.

Well, but Liteville is awesome, I don´t know why I´m that infected from this brand, aswell like the titan and steel frames from Cotic and Independent-Cycles. But…the best thing came at the end, the most awesome clothes you can ever get: “ P-I-R-A-T-E ”, what else??? Everything else is just for washing your bike. I found it at the smallest but most popular coolest sales booth of the whole market.

Finally not to forget the good food suppliy after the marathon, the really good cake and pie, the noodles were the best, and the most best bio-buttermilk, I was so stunned about it, so I grabbed myself some more of these, like a Pirate is. Sadly, I did´nt have so much time on Saturday to enjoy and to chill a bit on the sales booth and to talk a lot without the race bustle, but we wanted to be back at home just in time in Hamburg for the first game of Jogi´s boys.

The accomodation was all good, but I don´t have lots of requirements in a hotel, which doesn´t change anything since the 70ties, but at least a TV, a bed and a silentlocation. Next year I´ll come backagain for sure, and want to dinidh about half an hour faster than this year…I learned something from this year, registrate earlier for getting a better starting box, this means not so much traffic or jams, as well like a higherconversion, and of course to exercise more specific.
