Stefan Holzner and Bennie during the warm-up
Michi and Markus, who came with us, had the same goal, but only skated skating for the second time.

A brilliant start was quickly followed by the realization that cross-country skiing is a different number than, for example, a 10km run. Due to the additional use of the upper body, my pulse was almost four-digit after the first 300m and I knew that I had to slow my pace if I wanted to see the goal in one piece today! The local cracks shot ahead and I gasped afterwards. On the short downhill section I noticed the difference between waxing and “real waxing”! While everyone was comfortably sliding down the slope in front of me, I had to use full poles just to stay halfway in the slipstream behind them. After such a relaxing descent, we went past the 5 or 6 spectators who, distributed over the entire route, cheered everyone passing by in a fair and sporty way! I was wondering what they would call me now, when they could see that I was already 300m behind the field :)) "Hopp, Hopp, you get it!" Aha, and, if you please, mine honest fans ?? If you all push me together for the next 6km, then maybe, but on my own ... no chance!
skin in!
