Back home from the Zillertal

Dear readers,
Team GORE-TEX® Merchi Emotions is back from a very exciting and active weekend.
For some of us it was kind of a long journey until we arrived at this wonderful hut in the Zillertal but it was absolutely worth it!

On Friday, Franky, Michael and David startet with some (in comparison to the other two days) relaxed 20 km to the Märzengrund including 800 ascending meters. The weather during the whole weekend was just perfect and we enjoyed running as a team, not lonesome in Bayreuth, München, Absberg or where else...

On Saturday the Team GORE-TEX® Merchi Emotions was complete for the first time to train together. "El Capitano" arrived and showed us the way up from Stumm to the peak of Gehdrechten. :) About 23 km and 1640 ascending meters.

On the photo you can see us before we started to Stumm. It's not a coincidence that we look THAT nice. :) Since this weekend we have a very nice team outfit from GORE RUNNING WEAR™. We all are very happy with the awesome clothes and it is a good feeling that everybody sees that we are reaching the top of a mountain as a team!!

On Sunday we did for the first time something that is at least a little bit similar to a GORE-TEX® Transalpine Run stage. We started in Mayrhofen all the way up to Penken and finally we reached the top of the Wanglspitz. All in all about 33 km and 2000 ascending meters. It was really a tough day in the heat and after the 5 hours all of us were tired but happy. And the best thing was that we arrived "at home" just in time for the great match of GERMANY against ENGLAND. What a lovely game. :)
The following clip comments the game better than any words...

This weekend showed everyone of us what's going well and what could be (much) better. For sure, everyone of us four had the thoughts on Sunday: WHAT AM I DOING HERE...?!?! But the questions disappeared again and we all got motivated even more. 2 month left... tick tack tick tack...
