Rursee Marathon

At the first weekend in november, was the annually Rursee marathon  on my schedule and since 2004 they also offer a 16,5km distance.Because the marathon distance is a little bit to long for me at this moment, I decided myself to run the 16,5km distance and also were able to run with a former team member of us, Acy. The run was well-staffed with more than 780 starters, and we started on time on this hilly course under a wonderful sunny sky. The winner of the last year, Gaby Andres started as well again this year, and started really fast, I was able to follow her speed the first 5km, together with Kristina Ziemons, but when I took a look at my watch a km 5, I knew, I´m not able to run this fast much longer and so I had to let go and tried to find my own speed. At km 6 was a 200m long ascent, up the dam. Damn, I don´t remember it, that the ascent was so hard, steep and long, but when I reached the top, I soon found back my speed and went on on this hilly course. After two more ascents, finally it was there, the finish, and after 1:11:51h, I crossed the finish line on the 2nd place in my age-group and 3rd overall. The winner ceremony was helt up in a tent with a wonderful ambiance… even our precious Pirate Nadine travelled with her father to the Rursee. Your Sveny TEAM PIRATE JULIACUM
