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: |

| A.M. Workout race on an up and down hill course. Herwelzer Gaenslauf 10k. Gaens means goose and I didn't manage to find out the connection between the town and the bird. Very warm day and 10am in the summer is a late start. I went to the car after the race which was parked in the shade and the temp guage was measuring 29,5°C/85°F. No watch and my aim was just to go work as hard as I could throughout. Very steep, long and stony hill climb starting at km3 knocked the wind out of my sails, after this my will power was there to push hard but my legs were not responding as well as they should. We were strung out and the positions were settled early in the race. I crossed the line and went straight to the fireman to get hosed down with cold water - that was wonderful. Johanne had counted me in 10th so with a 10yr band on the AK there was no point hanging about. Found my result this morning. Time 39:58, Overall 10th/294, M40 4th/78. It was ok. | | Comments(2) |
