Polar Bear Trail Maastricht - race report The pol

Polar Bear Trail Maastricht - race report

The polar bear trail was extremly well timed for my race season, so my team and i decided to do this race. 30km trail, 750m altitude difference and an unbelievable muddy ground. For my injured Achilles tendons an absolute stress test. But after the last weeks of training, I was optimistic for the race...

I have never done a trail run before, neither in training nor in a race. Not so surprisingly, I had a massive crash right after 2km. In the further race i experienced, what a real trail means: running into the wrong direction, losing my cap and my water bottle and having problems with the nutrition.

Nevertheless, i wanted to run at the front right from the start and i was able to go this pace. The climbs were very good for me, i could really push there. In the flat sections with a lot of mud I had to search for my running rhythm again and again, because I couldnt use my usual running technique on this surface. It was my first race after more than 1 year with major injury problems. In the end, i finished on position 4, which was absolutely ok under these circumstances.

Trail running will certainly not be my preferred running terrain. Nevertheless, i can be satisfied with the result.

Special thanks to @michael_rundio for the preparation and @edwindasselaar for your great support on and off the track.

Next race announcement this week...

Believe in your own magic.

Last part of the review of my last races. Ironman Italy, 18.09.2022.

Cervia is a beautiful place for realizing the Ironman Italy. Adria-swim, a nice climb on the bike, a good run through the city and a finish directly at the beach...but after the Ironman 70.3 Duisburg, i was no longer able to run. The ultrasound already showed suspected internal ruptures in both Achilles tendons. Nevertheless, i went to Italy to be at the start line and to run the final marathon with the magic of an Ironman race.

I pushed it beyond the limit..and therefore during the marathon i was in so much pain, that i could no longer perceive myself, anyone at the track or anything. Even walking was not possible anymore actually. Hard mental and physical race with finish line.

One day before the race, my father was taken to the hospital, which he never left again.

I would like to thank for the support, the words and the compassion which i received. Especially from the people who have been there at the race track and the days around the race with me. Thank you.

Always focus on your goals...and let yourself be carried by the fire in your heart.

After the Ironman European Championship in june, my next two races were the Ironman 70.3 in Maastricht and Duisburg in August. I was struggling a lot with both injured Achilles tendons even though i had physical and electrical treatments for it. Therefore it was full focus on recovery. We used both races as test races for the Ironman Italy, to understand, in which way and how much the injuries will affect me.

Maastricht is a fantastic city, which I like very much. Especially the run through the old town was a highlight. That's why I enjoyed the race from the bottom of my heart despite a broken saddle while cycling and the injury problems.

Duisburg 2 weeks later was my home race, for which I had a lot of support on site...and therefore it was no question for me to finish, even though I had incredible problems with my Achilles tendons and could not run a meter without pain. I knew at the latest after this race how serious this injury is - which was then confirmed during an examination.

3 weeks later the next important race was the Ironman Italy and I was not able to run anymore. With this injury extremely difficult conditions for me for the Ironman Italy. But i kept focusing on hard work to stand at the starting line in Italy...

More info about the Ironman Italy next week.

"And the soul spread its wings wide, flew through the silent lands, as if it were flying home..."

"Und die Seele spannte weit ihre Flügel aus, flog duch die stillen Lande, als flöge sie nach Haus..."

For my father, who passed away after my last race, the Ironman Italy on 18th of September.

Forever in the heart and connected.

Over the next few days I will report on my races of the past weeks and months.
