My 3-week altitude training in St. Moritz was concluded with a half-marathon test run. Therefore, I started yesterday at the Graz Marathon, but finishte after just one round of 21.0975 kilometers. The organizers took advantage of my Sprint also like to classify myself as a pacemaker for the marathon's elite, which was also great fun. As a marathon runner, I know that whatever the proper pace and so I tried to lead recreational athletes as accurately as possible. My job was to run the first 18km at the top and one kilometer section followed by 3:06 to 3:07, which I also managed very well. After work invited me to the manager Hannes Langer, say goodbye to the front of my fellow travelers and run faster in the last 3km. Said and done, I said goodbye to my companions, wished them all the best and still accelerating. With my finishing time of 65:04 I'm very happy, especially because I had worked really well (I showed in every corner of the racing line, warned of tram tracks and invited the public) to cheer on the marathon and I have a very good Pulsschnitt (160 beats / min did). For me it was the last tough test before my second marathon in Frankfurt 25.10. The goal here is clearly defined a time under 2:16, it should be, then I would have one less worry, because that is the EM-limit for Barcelona 2010!
