OCR... more than running

 On the way with Mario, Luigi and others on Möhnesee and again in the front of the finish list      

We participated last year and hoped that there will be more starters next year. But we were disappointed. And so it came about that the organizer ended this format after the run in 2018 … unfortunately! It was a great one. And we were proud to start here! We hope it will come back any when in the future.

Lustlauf - Mein Verein e.V. wanted to make some self-promotion. We have a facebook account, an own website, and we are not unpopular. But advertising never hurts. So we wanted to make an image video. There were some ideas of what we wanted to film, but, sadly, nobody wanted to perform. So I did it alone….  

 

Yesterday I was at the Strong Viking . It was a great day but exhausting. And today my club “ Lustlauf - Mein Verein e.V. ” took part on the “Kitzenhauslauf”. I wouldn’t have taken part too because yesterday. But my club president ordered me to take part. I’m a very obedient underling and so it was necessary to obey! If you know me (and my president does) you know if you challenge me, I will do it all the more! I wasn’t sure about it, but I’m cheeky. And so I said it loud “If you challenge me, I will win at my age group!” I had very heavy legs. But who cares? I wanted to run! I wanted to show them all I could. And at the end I was the first of the Group M40 (Yes I became at this year 40). My president was very proud: I was standing on the top of the stairs. But he was also proud of all the other club runners. It was - like on every other day - very funny to see you all and run together!

Once again we were in Wächtersbach, Frankfurt. The Strong Viking water edition had called us extremely loud and we had to follow. But who was and is “we”? Often we are on tour in a little group. We all are friends, but most of them are not so crazy like me. They don’t have to go to all the OCRs. But Gopal is. Gopal and me, we are crazy enough. We really make a year plan, in which we professionally organize our tours. And so “we” are often only Gopal and me. But that’s not a problem for us. All people on OCRs are there for the same reason, and so we are more than only we both! This time, Gopal and me are on the way to the Strong Viking water edition. We did it the year before , this time and next time we will do it again. The water edition is called right! Very funny water obstacles and more water than in the ocean. Swimming, diving, sliding. A sea, a bridge, the Fjord Drop. 18km fun and sport. That’s the best combination ever! I’ve done much OCR the last years but can’t ge...
