The Triathlon Pirates will be entering in the largest German relay marathon, at the 11th Pulheimer Relay Marathon. But first I ran a quick 6.2m/10km race a week earlier. There were a lot of turns, but great spectators, on the route through the city that had to be run 6x.

So Sveny had the opportunity to wave to Timika 6 times.

And Sveny was doing really well. A great time (38:58min) and 3rd place in the women's division, made up her best run in Düren.

A week later, we spontaneously started at the 11th Pulheimer Relay Marathon, one of the largest of its kind. Sveny had departed from the mob, when Little Rene rotated onto the field of over 270 teams in 4th place. The 26.2m/42,195km were divided up into 6 tracks. Since there were only 3 of us, Sveny had to run 3x, Little Rene 2x and the Captain only once - huh??!!! Yup, if you want to run in a field of over 70 mixed teams, 3 laps have to be run by a woman.

Awesome time and ranking - yeah, it came to an average of 3:42min per kilometer! We showed that mob.

Timika, Sveny, Captain Klotz and Little Rene were rewarded with adulterated beer and other doping substitutes - thanks

And, finally, proof that Timika, at just 12 months, is an avid fan of extreme sports and has to be right in the middle of it.
