3:45o´clock moskito alert and 106 km later: 2nd place

Well, after the VeloChallenge in Hannover were I missed the podium by only seconds (4th overall, 2nd age-group) Obviously Raini wanted to write a bulletin…??? I rode my first long distance MTB marathon, not ill. The race in Bad Harzburg I missed because of the Spanish flu and in Altenau I still was coughing and only did the middle distance and somehow the spring was a little bit: flubbed…
So, after 5 years after my illness, I rode for the first time again the MTb marathon of Allersheim and I wanted to ride the 106km distance. Normally I had a date with the “sissy”, but after broken shift gears and missing championships, he only can cry out loud and lies in his bed… ;-)

Andre what´s up? Nothing goes without me” Or what? You´re only suffering without me.
Just for you, I stand up at 3:45o´clock in the morning after some sauna temperatures in my bedroom and lots of enemies like this:

Moskito alert: Haven´t slept at all, got an dinky breakfast and rode for more than2:30h over the interstate. And what about you? You dismissed me…no French fries or race sausage with you. I feel like I could cry…

The Start:

The first round I thought, that nothing happened with me, but I wasn´t that slow, but somehow I just tortured myself. These fucking long ascent up the Solling made me really depressive. The only thing that would help, would be Andre or turning off your head, and just do it. Manja was away, but in the 2nd round I was able to get to her, we had a fierce fight over the last 20km until the finish. The last time I raced here in 2005, I rode to fast the lastkmßs before the finish and just won or received cramps and were like horrible recovered memories on my mind, and so I let go her. I just wanted to finish with a good time and I made it. I crossed the finish line with a time of 5:14h. My new personnal best time and only 55seconds behind Manja. WHEW…

On the way to the winner ceremony:

Nothing changed, still a back pack fort he 2nd place.


Pirate

Giant bike back pack, well, oh my old is almost broken, allright, oh yes, it fit´s. Wait, together with Manja on the podium with a gap of just 55seconds ahead of me…
