104 km cycling for the week

D-Cup: The change over of the kids was difficult as I realized 25 minutes before I needed to start that Sophie won't make it to the finish before it. Barely managed to get to changeover zone as Willi already came. There wasn't even enough time to put the number on. It was a great relief to notice that the first control was easy, but still I managed to loose there over one minute. It was a good cool down and the rest went well. Matti finished just a couple of seconds behind me. Fortunately I didn't see him at any point. The reward was a great sixth place and a revenge as last time in Bad Harzburg we finished also as sixth, but we were disqualified through Flo on first leg. This time he ran again extremely well and without a disqualification.

In the morning I told to Sophie that I'm not going to start today, because of my cold. Therefore we had a lot of time and went to for a little hike to the top of the Burgberg. Then to the new Baumwimpelpfad. It was a huge steel construction in the three tops. I can really recommend it! After eating the lunch at the hotel, there was still enough time to my start and I felt bit better so I decided to run. Knowing that I couldn't gain anything by running fast, I concentrated on the orienteering. The only mistake was on the second last control 20''.
