Staffelmarathon
A few weeks ago I saw an email from Stephan, from TCEC, asking if anyone fancied running in the Mörfelden Staffelmarathon (relay). I am trying to race myself fit at the moment, so jumped at the chance. I ate too much cake on Saturday, so work up weighing 81kg, but I know that my true weight is 79kg at the moment.
Lex Laufexperten
Lex Laufexperten, a running shop chain, had quite a few teams signed up for the Staffelmarathon. They were kind enough to cover the entry fees for us too, which was good of them. I seemed to have been put onto the ‘fast’ team and was given the last leg, which had the bonus of meaning that I didn’t have to be there at 9am, when the race starts, as I wouldn’t run until at least 11am.
I had to get the tram, then 2 trains, then walk to the start in Morfelden. It was no biggie, except that it was absolutely freezing! It was about -10degrees at 9am when I was waiting for 20 minute for the next train at Frankfurt stadium. I arrived in Morfelden desperate to find a toilet, but couldn’t find one, so I waddled the 15minutes to the start.
