A really great competition came to an unfortunate end for us today, my brand new chain (not yet driven 100km) broke at the beginning of the second lap ...
But one after anonther:
After potential partners had canceled until yesterday evening and I still needed someone for the Bike + Run today, I feared I would have to run the entire 17km alone while all the other teams would take turns cycling and running. But it didn't get that far, Daniel from Bamberg decided to help me out at short notice.
As already described a few weeks ago, the two-person team walked along a "very undulating" forest route, one rides the mountain bike and the other runs. They alternate at their own discretion and as the other teams quickly found out after the start, it was ideal to change every 20-30 seconds.
In 5th position, the first teams came towards us shortly before the turning point, including Frank and Andi, and Bennie and Joachim, and they were only 300m away! There was still something going on!
After km 9 the chain broke from the mountain bike and we stood at the edge of the track like the oil idols and saw one team after the other go by again.
Giving up wasn't an option, so we decided to push the bike next to us. I shouldered the broken chain on my back (it was new and cost 30 € ... haha) and off we went again.
Great fun !!!
After the “winners of the hearts” were honored (Daniel, the bike and me;), I went home richly presented with two pairs of functional socks!
The whole thing was organized by http://www.fun-race.org/, ie Joachim Weinbrenner, Michi Hofmann and Bennie Lindberg. There you will also find the results lists, more photos and a video of the race.
Incidentally, Dorian Wagner's team won in the men's category, shortly before the team of German duathlon champion Florian Holzinger. And the amazing thing about the women was that the two winners 11 !! Had children. Woaw ...
have a nice Sunday!

PS Saturday's going to be fast (-;
Great, you have a fighting spirit where many would have given up, hats off! Reading the report was great fun again, whether you want to participate is another question ... * smile * ...

Not that there is a bad surprise.
Hi Christian,

Hey daniel,
thank you again for taking part, in the end I was more of the "flatterer" of the two of us.

@ Krelli
pulling is not ... I will club you with the rod from Knecht Ruprecht to a new best time ((-;
Hey daniel,
The one with the rod is an allusion to the name of the run: Nikolauslauf ... haha
Look forward to next week,
Tobi
I'm really looking forward to Saturday, after that a good fudge of chocolate is appropriate ...
greetings
