Rursee Marathon

Finally the time has come…!!! RURSEE MARATHON…!!! J
It still owe me one from last year, when I twist my ankle and sprained my lateral ligament and the cyst in my ankle joint. The time wasn´t that good, only 3:48h, and I wanted to make it better this year.

The Rursee marathon is a scenery marathon, with 400m of altitude, with one highlight at point 37km, when you got to ran up an ascent with 20% on 450m, not really a flat course.

As planned I wanted to run this race together with Bernd from the triathlon team of DJK Löwe Hambach. Bernd was the evening before the marathon on the wedding and told the others that he would run the marathon in his tuxedo. Well, you´ve better shut your mouth, so the next day he was at the starting line, and wore his tuxedo. The weather was really comfortable today, but when we reached the half-marathon mark, it became warmer. No matter…ATTACK….Shortly before the start, we were in a good mood, and I ate my last bread with Nutella.


Ab KM 2 ging die Party dann auch schon wellig los. Bei KM 7 dann kamm die erste heftige Steigung. Ein Singletrail hoch zur Urftstaumauer. Dort oben wartete auch schon Helga mit Ihrer Kamera auf die Läufer und bei KM 10 stand Peter dann mit dem dicken Tele.




We reached the half-marathon mark with a time of 1:47, and everything went good, but at point 27km, Bernd became some problems with his inner thighs and had to slow down, I stayed with him until 30km, but than,  after changing some words, we separated, because my time would gone with the wind. No problems on my side until the finish, as well like the ascents at point 37km, no problem and I crossed the finish line with a time of 3:34h…!!!YES…!!! I made it, it was really fun and I made it better than last year. I ended up overall on the 53rd place of 364 and in my age-group, I took the 5th place. I was really satisfied with my results.

Another highlight that day was, that our precious-Pirate Nadine waited for us at the finish line. Nadine really felt better after her dolphin therapy, I´m really pleased about that…



See you next again Rursee. ATTACK & FULL THROTTLE
