Yesterday was held the keel-marathon and my girlfriend and I took half the distance before a competition. For Natalie, it was her first long distance run. She is preparing for the Hamburg Marathon this year. She did, inspired by my Ironman last year, look for sometimes a challenge. Very tired and fought bravurös she came 1:56 into the goal. I think that I can hammer out until April ready for the double distance (where sie schon ordentlich Respekt vor den "doppelten" Schmerzen bekommen hat).
Meine Rennen war wahrscheinlich ähnlich hart. Klar, ich habe nicht mehr so mit der Distanz als solches zu kämpfen, aber knallhart war es trotzdem. Die Bedingungen waren nur suboptimal. Zwar der Schnee und das Eis von der Strecke, allerdings zeigte sich jetzt, wieviel Streusand verbraucht wurde. Teilsweise kam es einem vor, als ob man auf Sandboden lief. Temperaturen lagen so bei 4°C und eine steife Brise war auch dabei. Aufgrund der vorherigen Umstände wurde die Strecke leicht verändert. Drei Runde à 7km sollten gelaufen werden und das Profil war ein kleines bisschen schwieriger als sonst. Wobei man nicht vom schweren Terrain sprechen kann.
Ich lief erst once with a group of four together. Front were three runners and then we came. After a round handle on one of my companions. I was the only one who marched. At about 12Kilometern and the head wind section, I then attacked. Now I was alone. Actually felt good at all, but somehow it was still a long way. But now, all I could do more. Full throttle. The second round was generally the fastest. The last round was really hard then. But to my surprise, she was also quite fast. So I ran and came to 26:05-25:50-26:04 1:17:59 finish. Ok, my best time was only 43Sek. improved, but after many years of stagnation that was really a success. I am fully satisfied and would not mind if I could make some minor or major steps forward.
my next plan is now ready. I will this year for the first time be able to fly twice in the sun (if it seems to mind). And my competitions are quite firmly planned. Frankfurt is probably going to just focus my preparation. Not many, but nice competitions are planned for it. When everything is fixed, you will also find it here, of course. But now further to the training.
