Place 1st in my age category. Personal: I'm a Brit living in a small town in the south west of Germany, on the edge of a nature park, the Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald. The landscape is very hilly with vineyards & orchards on the lower slopes merging into forest above. 42 years young, married since 1997 to my lovely wife. Favorite Blogs: |

4:01, 4:04, 3:55, 3:56, 3:59,

A.M. May day holiday and also Father's Day as well here. A little bit cooler and cloudy but the shorts are staying on. Hilly run with concentration on good downhill technique. Total 22k in 1:40:32, av pace 4:34/k, 7:21/mi.
As I was leaving town at the beginning of the run and entering it at the end I was dodging the Father's day walkers. It is tradition here the men go out in large groups for 'walking' in the countryside, pulling trolleys heavily laden with bottles of beer that are consumed along the way. They were cheering me past at 9am, waving beer bottles in the air. I think I would be unconscious by lunchtime if I tried this. For the less energetic, tractors pull flatbed trailers with benches on the back into the countryside for the beer swigging fathers.
We're off to Frankfurt now for a few days, so enjoy your May Day and good luck to any racing on the weekend. | | Comments(2) |
