Running has become less in recent years and I spend more time in the gym. Still, running is and will remain a passion. One way to stay fit, at the same time find an inner balance that off, endorphins, and of course a way to fill up excess calories that do accumulate more and more persistent on the hips, get rid of. The ambition to break records, is the joy and pleasure vanished. Run because it's fun to feel your body, enjoy the steady rhythm, if the shoes roll on the asphalt, experience the changing seasons, to feel the wind and weather on the skin. . . and yet. . . now and I need more. My old ego must be fed, if I already have to prove anything to anyone anymore. . . . then himself The willingness to torture yourself again make fullest to conquer his own demon, his guy. . . offers the opportunity for themselves in a fun run. The B2Run company run is an opportunity. 6km, a short distance. . . Training in a trifle. . . in competition. . . from the start 100% tactic: anything goes, pain: Guaranteed.
Beta Systems, my employer for over 15 years of sponsoring the entry fees and who gets to join in a running shirt with company logo. In my linen closet is already a staple in many different colors. The color of this year: Fluorescent Orange. Lost in the crowd? Excludes:! I look in familiar faces. Colleagues, friends that for years and here are a few new ones. We rum silly, no trace of anxiety, instead of anticipation of the run, chest straps and heart rate monitors are created, stored smartphones with GPS tracker in sleeve pockets. . . everyone knows what will soon come when the heart races, want to jump the lung from the chest and burn the muscles. . .
200 employees hat Betasystems noch in Berlin, ein Unternehmen mit betont, jugendlichem und sportlichen Image. 14 Kollegen wollten laufen, nur 9 von Ihnen stehen nun hier, es sind immer Dieselben und ein paar Jahre sind auch schon zusammengekommen. Arne Basler, Thomas Osbahr, Detlef Sturm, meine Wenigkeit . . . wir sind oder waren es zumindest . . . Marathonläufer, Triathleten . . . Eric Bouchart, Walter Teichert, Regine Heller, Alexander Buder . . . Kollegen die einfach Freude am Laufen haben. Jetzt sind wir ein Team.
Vor dem Start, eine Fitnesstrainerin auf einer Bühne heizt den Läufern ein, StepAerobic, wenn ich da mitmache bin ich beim Startschuss platt. I come close to rest for a few minutes, the eyes, it blows a fresh wind, but the air is mild and beautiful as on a fall day. Bring it on, otherwise the person based on my pulse 70 beats Minute runs, even at 100 Normal excitement before the start. Then the starting gun, in front of us just maybe a few hundred runners, and after a few seconds we trot and already on the first 400m, pulls apart the field. Free path. The first KM passes quickly, the body temperature rises, the barrel is smooth, the tempo is high, perhaps too high. . . let's see how long it goes well. I decide not to look on the heart rate monitor, I feel so show me what you would. KM 2 all palletized, KM 3, the half of the course has been left behind. . . perceived energy consumption is already at 80%. . . no matter, keep pace, breathing becomes more intense.
Our best runner Detlef is out of sight, Alex had been kept up well, but then ripped off. Thomas and I are present in 2.ter and 3.ter place. Thomas Osbaldeston, is a good hare, in his previous life he was sure Kenyans, he is running loose in front of me, his steps are easy to 65kg 88kg to my. Each gram of muscle is now like lead in my bones. We are an experienced team and go racing line, run flat, save energy, the rhythm is right, the Schrittweite passt . . . ich bin knapp 2 Schritte hinter Ihm . . . synchron . . . Kommentare der anderen Läufer, die wir überholen dringen an mein Ohr "Na die beiden verlieren sich nicht" . . . mit unseren Shirts beleuchten wir wohl die Straße. Thomas zieht mich, er könnte auch davonlaufen . . . aber wir bleiben zusammen, er dreht sich nach mir um, sammelt mich ein, treibt mich an . . . ein echter Freund. KM5 und 6 . . . die Muskeln brennen, jede Faser schreit nach Sauerstoff, will jetzt stehenbleiben aber "No way" darum geht es . . . jetzt kämpfen, nicht langsamer werden, die letzten Reserven aus sich rausholen. Endlich, das Stadion in Sicht, wir laufen in eine Unterführung, unter dem Marathontor hindurch, in das Stadion . . . a well unique moment, the blue running track under my feet, everything shines in the bright flood of light, fit this huge bowl in the 70,000 people would. . . Fantastic. Well, the cheers of crowds now comes from speakers that some 1,000 people lose a little in the stands but it remains an exhilarating moment. The clock stops at 27:50. . . I am satisfied. Even a minute faster than my test run a week ago. . . we are to shine, to congratulate us and attacked us with sweat in his arms. Now I look at my HR monitor. . . It shows 100%. . . everything did not go.
