Do Graham Crumbs Expire

22/08/2010 RNTC final in four home

on Sunday was the hottest day of the past week, and not just for the meteorologists, but also for the participants in the Rhein-Neckar-Cup final in four homes. In the women, an extremely strong field was announced. Besides the two contenders to win the Cup Jutta Schaefer and Jenny Schulz Meike Krebs and Silvia Balbach at the start.
time to view the bike I had, unfortunately, no - I knew only this: it should be pretty hard!

In swimming, however, I should have, as always, no major problems. Here was more the question of who the internal family duel between Felix and I would probably win. Well, as far as I can tell schonmal. I threw ;-). I quickly discovered that Jutta swims next to me and I've decided for her feet and then my Felix for, so that with less than 1 minute behind the leaders with Andreas Böcherer on the wheel increased.

The track was in less than 4km what they had in themselves. On a long and very steep rise in me Jutta Renner had then caught up after I could take over again with a quick change of leadership. To kilometer 20, I was able to stay tuned to sight her. But then Kam: we had at a railroad crossing . Stop Of course, this time recorded by a timing mat and pulled off the end - just funny that we all three women, Meike Krebs had then open that had the same time. Beside us, a large group of men were waiting on the train but finally came through and we were allowed to continue. Once taken out of the rhythm it was hard to hineinzufinden again and then this: the two girls Jutta and Meike, both fighting for the win hiding in that big crowd of men and were within a few miles out of sight. A bitter aftertaste and quite discouraging. Where were the judges?

the end of the bike course I was still overtaken by the very strong driving Nina Kuhn and Silvia Balbach. On the run course it became a heated battle - you could run the call no longer safe. At the finish I was obviously floored, but also very satisfied. Despite the extremely strong competition and the really very demanding track, I could be one of the top favorites Jenny Schulz behind me and me with a 6th Space claim.
