During the last six days, I ran a little bit and for that I registered myself for the Six Days of Risenbeck.
For the 6 days we had the same duty to fulfil. Running 6 stages with a overall length of 140km, with a lots of altitude. About 620 people registered themselves for this run. 558 finished.
My overall time: 10:24:55, overall place 194th and 46th in my AG45+ .
Sadly, we had a bad accident,a running colleague from France died on the 3rd stage , because of a heart attack.
Before the 4th stage started, we all waited for a minute and clapped our hands, as a sign of our respect of her. A really sad moment…
I made it to the finish line and made lots of pictures during the run.
