Today was the “EBM Papst Marathon” race and I’m satisfied with my result. I got the 46th finisher of 280 skaters. My average speed was 31.7 km/h on a distance of 25 km. My result is ok because in fact I’m speedskating since June. Until June I had problems with my ankles so I couldn’t train much.

My next race will be in Mainz on Inlinerdays. I’m participating on “Jedermannrennen” because I don’t have a license. But even with no license I can skate fast enough to get one of the first ten finisher. The winner from last year had an average speed of 29 km/h. I should be able to be part of the head in that race!
