Last Sunday I participated at the Hamburg Marathon. The marathon was interesting as too many good athletes were present. At the start, the group cycled at very high speed in order to bypass as many athletes as possible.

Three km through the race, Vico Merklein and Arkadiusz Skrzypiski, who are from another division, made their attack to which I didn’t respond. After 12 km, I made my attack with Bernd Jeffre from another division as well – as you know in the marathon all the divisions ride together so there are 3 different divisions: H1, H2 (my division) and H3 which is the strongest division – and we were able to move ahead more than 20 sec distance away from the group.

After coming back from Al Ain in UAE, I started preparing for my next race in Rosenau – France.

This race is the toughest race in Europe as it has more than 200 participants of whom over 77 are in my division. The good thing, though, is that all the best hand-cyclists of the world were present at this race.

The first race started at 11:00 am and the weather was so cold and rainy.
Lucky enough, when it was time for our race at 13:15, it stopped raining and I tried to take off at full speed to take over as many athletes as I can; however, I was left with more than 18 athletes in the group. The speed was very high and the competitions was very rough! [ Read more... ]
