Men in black - and GREEN

Dear readers,

just unbelievable 3 days left to the start in Ruhpolding. Nice words from a friend: "FINALLY the race is coming closer, I don't want to train anymore!" :)

I think for most of the participants this last week includes very few training. You just keep moving a little bit your muscles, no very long or hard runs anymore before the start. My cut was on Saturday when I had my last long running test for my injured foot. I had a more or less good and stable feeling during 27 km. So that was my final "GO"! I'm ready!!

Ready for the catwalk over the Alps! :) Last week I received a nice package from CEP that makes it easier for the masses of supporters to recognize us during the race. Besides the super functional and stylish running clothes of Gore Running Wear® in black now we are wearing GREEN. We got some performance improving running socks from CEP. Thanks so much for that!

May the sun appear in the mountains.
