::: The 11th Freiburg Marathon 2014:::
Today was
the " D" Day.
The 11th
Freiburg Marathon 2014. With the Motto Run and Rock.
After a lot of training and anticipation, some
finally gathered the necessary courage they needed to run, some gave up, giving
freedom to their „innere Schwein", some thought it was reasonable, more
than doubts the best decision, it is... So next year, if God’s willing, they
will participate.
Now the
official race is 42 kilometers. Many ran in group „Staffel" many did the
half marathon and others did the complete marathon. Some came to compete,
others just to participate and the real people, the so called professionals came
to win.
To avoid
crowding, the organizers decided to make people run in schedules, each time the
whistle was blown..." Oya come see race, na running be this".
They were
also pacemakers. People who had a fix time to run.
Animation
was organized by the Local radio station SW3 and they invited 42 bands to keep
the town funky. It was really fun. To see families cheering their love ones.
Mothers running with their babies,
in their pram.
Of course there were dads doing the same too.
Lovers running hand
in hand, friends and also colleagues .
There was beer, cold beer, and children enjoying their ice cream…yes ice cream you heard me right!
The weather
was wonderful today in Freiburg, a little bit too hot for a marathon but a
perfect combination if the crowd and organizers are taken into consideration.
The first
male to arrive at the finishing line for the half marathon was Manuel Stöckert
with 1:05:02
The First
woman was Susanne Hahn with 1:14:26
And for the
full marathon the first man is Lukas Nägele with 2:32:49
The first
female Svenja Mann 3:00:51
The babies and thier papies and mamies did arrive safely too.
And after waiting
for 2:20 my mr fantastic finally arrived.
The most
important thing was to reach the finishing line. And bravo to all the beautiful
people that participated this year and to those of us who did not make it too.
Next year we will be there!
It was fun
LET’S ROCK,
LET’S RUN!
Love you all.
