It's the Olymp!

Yeah, I did it again. I promised a race report but as you know I am pretty lazy ;-) Actually on the last day of the Olympic Games I felt like being a member of them. See below I was honoured ;-)
Victory
Okay, they didn't play the national anthem, I didn't get any Cup, there was no laurel crown, finally I was just in 3rd place of my age group and not overall but at least there was a podium and they clearly said my name (and I got a medal!) ;-)))))

Anyway, the race was as expected. It's a medium tough course, a bit hilly and, off course after 2hrs running each stone on the way hurts a bit more ;-( The weather was at least the first 2hrs very runner-friendly. Afterwards it got a bit hot but as the whole course (except for the first and last two km) is leading through a deep, deep forest it was okay.

I ran nearly the whole time with my best fellow Udo:
Udo & Oliver Oliver
