Event: ÖSTM Long
 

i ran to the start to warm up for the long distance race.

i didnt feel to good right from the start and after a bad night just thinking about the relay i was not motivated at all for this race. control 1 was ok but already to #2 i started to think about giving up and i got this horrible pain at the rips again. so i couldnt run fast... tried to get it going but never made into some kind of flow. after i missed #7 and i had to climb back up to hill for about 40m of climb i was broken. there followed some controls only on pathes and the some only through green areas. got blisters on my legs then and just thought i should finish to get some points for the club.

so right now i am even more disappointed than yesterday and everything hurts. i gonna sleep for a while now - lets see how the world looks tomorrow...

C • Damn dude. Sorry to hear about... 4

Event: Austrian Relay Champs
 

warm up and cool down for the austrian relay champs. the legs were just perfect. its really fun to run with such legs! :P

the start was perfect. i was far in the front just behind graham gristwood. but missed 5 and 6 for about 5:30 together. so i pushed hard afterwards and could overtake some teams again after i missed again for about 1 minute. after that i overtook again 2 teams but missed in the end once 1 minute again and 30s on the 2nd last control.

thx to wati and mani who ran awesome races we got a medal which was the goal but i just cant be happy about it. if i just would have jogged through it without mistakes we coud have achieved the 2nd place easily. but i screwed it and in my head is just emptiness. i am fu*king disappointed...

the legs felt just perfect today so i ran a bit faster. some nice medium speed. after about 15mins i thought i should hold it back and stoped the "faster stuff".

the easy part of the run. tried to hold it back but looks like it didnt work too good. anyway, the shape is there. i am ready for the weekend. no mistakes and i gonna be on top! ;)

C • Good Luck! 2

nice run with dion, rich, frank and mani up the henndorfer forest.

easy run with rich and dion. was really nice to run with them and they brought up some south african stories :P

i ran the part to richs house quite fast as well as back. just to test the legs and the feel really great! ;) it was about 3:40/k :P

wanted to do an real easy run first but decided to jump on the bike because of the swollen & stiff knee. i think it was a good idea. i invited a friend to join me and so it was really really slow. maybe just right to hold myself back! ;)
