Grateful to gain the bronze 🥉 M55 at the 10 km in Calw. My shape had not been where I preferred it to be. But I kept putting in the work.
It seems that helped me back on a good path, especially among a strong M55 field this time in Calw.
Congratulations to Olaf and Armin on the podium with me. Thanks to Hannah Arndt who won the women race (overall) today and shot the nice podium picture of us M55 pack. I also enjoyed a shoulder to shoulder race over the final 2 km to the finish line with a 24 years younger runner. We helped each other to keep the pace. I could still outkick him in the final 200m, but what counts more is that we both enjoyed had a wonderful conversation it afterwards.
