Ingrown Hairs On My Knee

Highlander Cycling Marathon 2010

view of Bödele Bregenzerwald
Sometimes living in St. Gallen not that wrong ...." I thought to myself when I last Sunday at 13: 45 was relaxed on the couch to watch the Tour de France mountain stage. The thought I was probably, as I in the morning with my two colleagues and Clemens and Jörg Christian tenants already the Highlander Radmarathon in Hohenems was gone. 5:30 am we have met are driven to Hohenems and have summarily confirmations, for the small round (160 km) 10 min. before starting the race numbers were screwed and we're just losgerollt with the field, only requirement: have fun. After 8km How so directly into the Bödele , it was not very full, but more cyclists traffic you get the day off (not because the field of "only" 850 pulls apart then start strong ). I then used the mold a little bit and I quickly high (8 km, 700 m, 32 min, best time (my previous three ramps).


Hochtannbergpass : 13km, 908hm
Had I now been in racing fever I would have fallen (top photo) with the first-best group in the beautiful Bregenzerwald, but that was not on this Sunday on the plan. So I turned 5 minutes a few circles on the lift car park and I was with the other (who had held a chat on Bödle prefer) in the descent. After the flat terrace along the Bregenzer Ach Au from the very comfortable Hochtannbergpass (image) and right after the Flexenpass (picture) started. We could have gone a bit below our potential to recognize the fact that none of us has overtaken someone. Since it is not at the event, the roads were blocked, I found the following departure of Lech / Zürs, Bludenz down to something dangerous. With 70-80 things you drive in the sunshine but then sometimes reluctant to enter unlit tunnel. Down in the valley was still a little racing fever.

Since we did not have planned in the direction Ludesch to turn Faschinajoch / Furkajoch on the long 187km round we went in just under 1 hour, the last 40km back down to Hohenems - also has right mood made. 154km, 5h 14min, 2250Hm said the Clock and more so yet clear on the objectives of the organizers. At a 111th Place overall had passed it. The relatively loose brought about pure driving average of just under 31km / h also shows that this round is not a "real" Alpine Marathon. Fun you can still have a lot of scenic and worth it anyway. The 4 food stops that we have all used extensively finisher presenter, and a free shirt by accident, the 35 € Start Gelt were well spent. Next year, so feel free again, perhaps with more sporting ambitions. (Note here a small report on visit to the State ORF .)
