Phew� still possible, under 40minutes.

Again, another run in the evening, normally not my favorite time to run, but anyhow, at the 21.07.2012, I went to Birkesdorf, fort he Isola-bridge run. It was my first time to participate here and I kept a close eye on the course. Allrigth, two rounds to run. At the start, lots of the people looked very fast, but wait´n see…




start

First the course leads you thru the parc at the River Ruhr and than very often over the bridges across the river and than right along the river again.
 

So, almost flat except the bridges. I waited the first km´s and watched the other, how they run, but than I decided myself to ran from the top.
 


It worked, the first 5km´s, my watch told me, 19:30min, I was still satisfied, maybe I can run again under 40 minutes??? Than I was passed by a faster women who came suddenly from behind, I tried to go with her on the last 4km, but I wasn´t able to hold her speed. But who care´s, I just wanted to finish under 40minutes. This was my first goal.

And finally it worked, after 39:40min I crossed the finish line as the 2nd women overall and 1st in my age-group.


Special thanks to Dirk Kunze and family and to Peter Borsdorff fort he fantastic pictures.
