I can hardly believe. Two best times in a week. Who would have thought. After the show ragenen Hours of operation on Wednesday was clear to me that yesterday at the ninth Bützower Citylauf still some in there. I knew the route and did not just hearsay, that it is rather flat and that we will run a circuit through the Bützower City.
So far so good. We started at the sports field and ran at the top 2 rounds through the stadium before going on the route.
I was highly motivated. Had I bought it on Saturday at Erwin my first compression socks and wondered how they affect my performance.
on the circuit itself, it was very windy at one point, what is However, in the slipstream of other good runners would be able to compensate. Unfortunately, from the second round, not too many runners in front of me. The time I got on the line in parallel to the city again. I fixed the runners ahead of me and had only the goal in mind.
Because this was run as part of the national championship and the Laufcup instead, many well-known local pros were there. It was inevitable that I was, of course, lapped. As Matze ran to the finish and then went to the ground utterly exhausted, I still had 2 laps in front of me: o) I had me a little scared when I overtook the lead group, o)
I had even expected to overtake me, Micah, Daniel Jensen. Daniel arrived on time in my penultimate lap.
I've assumed that we were to run 4 laps, but I had after the third in the target area for a time of 33 minutes. I realized that I can not run the 10km in 45 minutes and there are 5 rounds but in the end.
My legs felt good and the second half I averaged 05:15 minutes per mile, I am started very quickly if you look at the overview:
Lap 1 04:44
Lap 2 04:53
Lap 3 Lap 4 05:06 04:59
Lap 5 05:04 6:00 5:11
Lap Lap 7 Lap 8
5:07 5:16 9:00 5:17
Lap Lap 10 05:19
Lap 2 04:53
Lap 3 Lap 4 05:06 04:59
Lap 5 05:04 6:00 5:11
Lap Lap 7 Lap 8
5:07 5:16 9:00 5:17
Lap Lap 10 05:19
There were also some more miles, according to my Polar 10.25 km at the end I got a new best time for the 10 km after 00:52:12 hours into the goal in my age group it was even the 4th Place. The pace was 5:13 minutes per kilometer. As fast as I had been in any 10-km race and in 2008 I was not even nearly ran at this time. Twice as nice to look forward to.
the finish came towards me and Jens Micha, Micha also a new best time was on the Clock, he was sporting 00:43:26 hours. He could improve just like me, his best time by 30 seconds. Jensen had back and could exploit its potential not. At times he had even considered to play my rabbit to get me to move even faster to the finish.
I'll find insulting that men, when their power is low, I always want to use as an excuse.
Well what the hell, none of them had overtaken me and the gap to Michael is getting a bit smaller, instead of the normal 10 minutes are between us now 9 o) difficulty to nourish the squirrels.
a great week so yesterday went to the end. Without me it's great had planned, I was able to improve the times of 5 and 10 km. And the mere fact because I got a different look at my times. I'm thrilled.
