This year, we just arrived right before the start, after the race in Tittenhausen. ( we are: Astrid, Julia, Stephan and myself)
Bulletin will follow tomorrow…
Before the start, we saw and met some friendly faces in the starting area, it was still some time to talk, but than...Mrs. Kaup, fully concentrated.
Ahead of us was: Armin, Bütti and Stephan, the guy with the bag is Pitjes…
For myself, I started with Elvis from far behind…
Astrid, our race photograph, was really busy…
SStedebeker was very kind this year and lent me his starting number, thank you again at this point for it and of course to my friends in Plettenberg Dimi, Schnuffi, Pitjes, Timmi, Zimbo, and, and, and…we´re really looking forward to next years race.
One of the best part of the race, was the bridge construction in the pool area. Here you can see Bütti...
Myself...
Pitjes...
and Stephan....
That´s all folks. Was fun, for sure and after all, I think 2:11:07h are a huge challenge for me, for next year. But having said this, I was the fastest Pirate over the short distance.
One big surprise of the weekend was Armin, he was already waiting form me in the finish area, and he´s already 69years old.
Mike for himself, was very fast as well and I was aloud to ride a bit of the course with him. Thank you Mike.
Anyone who just see the picture would think this: Hey you son of bitch, don´t bother me or I will knock you down…
...but we talked about the fact, that Elvis recieved some sand during the race under his lenses, everything fine...
Than it was time to say good-bye again…
See you next year: Plettenberg !
