Caveman 2019, Netherlands
Sadly, my best run-buddy wasn’t able to take part. But my group of crazy
runners is big enough and there are many maniac guys like me. So, I
didn’t have to run alone!
Sadly again, I didn’t know yet how lonely the tip of the pyramid can be (just joking!)
The event isn’t that far away from my bed. It didn’t take long to got to the event area.
It
was a quiet morning. I felt like I’m the first one at the area. The
check in was still closed, no music, nobody else then me. But that
changed quick!
My friends and I had some loud fun but didn’t know we
will have only 20 minutes together today. What we knew was, that we sure
will not run together. But I hoped we would see us at the finish. We
didn’t….
The
run started with a normal warm up. It’s a bit hard to follow the
instructions if you don’t understand the language. It only 30 minutes
away from my home but I don’t understand them. It’s a shame, isn’t it?
Then
the start: I didn’t recognize that I was at one of the first places. I
passed some other runners and suddenly the leader guide was at my side.
But I didn’t recognize my leadership position until the people greeted
me at the obstacles with applause and cheers! I was really surprised and
from that I tried to hold this position.
I was received with cheers and a small firework at the finish! I took the first place over the 18km track! It’s a great feeling! But lonely: There were just round 100 people at the finish. All other, especially my buddies were on the track. And the second finisher took around 4 or 5 minutes longer than me.
