City-run of Papenburg 22.04.2012

Every year again....... . we registered ourselves for the city-run of Papenburg. The only difference between this and last year were, that we registered ourselves this year for the 5km run, because we soon wanted to participate on a sprint distance triathlon and most of the running distances on a sprint triathlon are 5km. For myself, it was the first 5km since at least 5years, but as I remember, you have pain, no matter if you´re running a 5 or a 10km run. The weather qas quite cofortable, we got 12degrees and light rain. After we warmed up a little bit we made our way to the stsrting box, while we wanted to start from far in the front and waited there for the starting signal. Just with the starting signal, everybody started to accelerate... Picture: ( even the other runners, had some fun at the start) Soon, after 500m the first burst, because of the high speed at the beginning. I had a good run, besides one moment, when someone hit me with his elbow, not on purpose, who didn´t want me to pass him, maybe he was delirious... Finally, I ran a new personnal best time over 5km, at first I wanted to run under 20minutes and I did it: YES...18:50min... That means 12th place overall of 212 starters and 4th place in my age-group. Even Tanja said after the race that running 5km hurt as well like running 10km and ran a new personnal best time also, with 21:32min... She ended up on the 2nd place overall at the women´s race and on the 1st palce in her age-group and won a wonderful trophy... Picture: ( Schnappi ( crocodile) and Kung-Fu-Panda participated also, in fact of a lost bet….) Guido and Tanja
