Report by Thomas Werthmann .
Because it was just a mood of time, that I got this crazy idea, after an one hour stop on the interstate, before I wanted to join the Pirate-Team, which wanted to ride a 24h race at the Ring. I guess you already read the bulletin.
Because I just can´t get enough, I had this crazy idea as a preparation for my marathon, that I could run the “ Nordschleife”, because you can´t run very often over a race track.
Being called a nerd, but so I registered myself on Friday late for this run, even we were just allowed to get the starting bags for the 24h race.
On Saturday morning, I stood at the starting line on a wet course, because weather changed thoughout the night. My goal, to ran across the “ NOrdschleife”, about 24,4km. It´s just an exercise run. After 500m of altitude I finished completely satisfied with a time of 1:56h.
Conclusion: Running the „ Hohe Acht“, hurts more by foot than on the bike. Anyhow, after a break for lunch and really bad bike weather, I rode 4 rounds on the Ring.
Lots of greetings, Thomas
