OCR... more than running

I’m a caveman. Sometimes I feel like that. I love to make a fire in my garden. I like the smell of fire and looking into the stars. Okay, that has nothing to do with the Caveman OCR. The Name of these OCR is given by the Cauberg caves in Valkenburg and the fact that a part of the trail goes through them. In total, you run around 1,5km in the underground. It’s special. I don’t know any other OCR with an “obstacle” like this. It’s more a highlight than an obstacle. The caves are illuminated with lights and videos projections. It’s cool! The complete run is around a little mountain. From the bottom to the top of it. So you can imagine it’s not a flat trail. There are some altitude to overcome. You have to handle it! All over the trail are many water obstacles. Some natural (a river) some artificially constructed. But all of them are very wet ;-) There are other e.g. climbing obstacles.

Again on the way with some mates of the “LustLauf”. This time we were 12 pleasure runners, and we rocked the Kitzenhauslauf in hot summer conditions. The run is sponsored by the club every year and it becomes more and more popularity for all Lustlauf runners. It is necessary to show all other (local) runners and sport friends the cohesion of the club. We act together as a group and, for example, we picked up not every single start number rather than all together. “Let’s go to the start line!” With a little delay we all started for the beautiful, but very selective route. The trail was a single up and down. At the end I couldn’t remember only one straight trail part. But apart from me and Mareike, all arrived nearly together to the finish. Mareike and me - we were like young horses. We couldn’t control our energy, and we had to run, run, run. So we got a bit quicker to the finish. But who cares? We are a club, a group….we are friends! Again a very nice and funny day! Thanks...
