Weakly report: 37/10

UltraBirken 2010

A good week. I've had one workout-a treshold session- and a race-UltraBirken. The latter being an A-priority target for the third quarter. I was hoping for a better finish time( 1h better), but I couldn't perform better at this race. Reasons for that is partly the conditions-it was very wet and almost like running in a stream for about 2/3 of the race. In addition I suffered from a stretch in my butt that forced me to slow down due to lack of ability to execute adequate technique. Finally I haven't trained enough in the terrain. Overall I'm very satisfied with the race for three reasons. First is that I finished allthough I suffered very much. Second is that there was a lot to learn from the race and third it's always a pleasure to be running in the nature for such a lengthy period of time. Next A-priority target now is Berlin marathon on 26th of Sep. My target there is to finish with a new personal best.
