In spite of strong mind and a little training since Todtnauberg went there on Friday evening in the volcanic Eifel region and after a rather uncomfortable night of tangled dreaming ridden down to the volcano to Startaufstellubng Bike Marathon. (Among other things, I had dreamed of having missed the start and I spend hours behind the field hergehechelt) I had decided in advance for the 60km long half-marathon with about 1300 hm and was allowed through year 77 in the class seniors a start, what a Schmarch.
After I had then arrived in one of the many starting block fell at 9:30 of the first starting gun, but it should last for another 40 minutes until I was in first place in the actual Startlienie and wait for the valid to me now shot a lot ... after 40 minutes this is not quite as sunny morning I was frozen and the start was quite a bit cumbersome. The other drivers but it seemed to go on for like the first few kilometers I felt almost alone, as I had in mind anyway because of my knee I was then only a little bit out of pace so I was able to hang on to a smaller group ... about 5km we were then the first (or last) to overtake the driver in front of us started starting blocks and ran up to the first refreshment stand is excellent and the great atmosphere at the track was extra motivation. I made only a few seconds of silence, grabbed a banana and half continued on the same well, it went downhill the next few kilometers before mostly follow several long climbs should. At KM 30 So pretty much half of the race it went off my right knee started to ache again, I just tried to ignore it, but my muscles have not played and apparently tried to load from the knee to the thigh trap?? ! Anyway my right thigh and was damn hard to make matters worse, now joined by more headache to animal ... on the 2nd Verflegungsstand I drank directly 3 cola as caffeine for me quite well against just such a headache helps, which worked this time.
The last few miles, it ran much better then again until it crashed on the last and steepest rise, my chain was bailed out and I had jammed with a lot of pressure between the cartridge and the rim. All they try with their hands to draw out, failed after a few minutes, I tried the tire to expand until I finally allerkraft on the back of chairs, the tires in the hands of my bike with his legs from me wegdrückte until the chain finally broke again, great action 12 minutes had tasted. 12 minutes in which I now can see from the rankings more than 120 drivers drove past me, over 40 of them in my class standings, but at least it was on now and reached the goal after 3:08. What makes me the 12 minute fight with the chain all the more angry because it would otherwise have worked loose with the 3 hours
