Last Sunday i was in Mainz for the half marathon. When I arrived on Saturday afternoon the weather was still looking good. But on Sunday morning it was pouring down and very cold.

After warming up in the parking area, I took my position at the start. The race started and I joined a small group of cyclists who split from the main group. The track was very wet which made the race harder, particularly on the turns as it was dangerously slippery.

Eventually I waited for the right moment and made my final sprint and won the race. I was happy with my results and now I’m looking forward to my next race this coming Saturday in Schenkon – Switzerland.
