I finished my first half marathon yesterday. The website with the results is still down, but friends told me I have had 2 hours and 7 minutes. Which is nor bad for the first time. But I think I can do it better and will take part on another one in 3 weeks.
Yes there are, but very few. I live in switzerland for one year and all the people have been very friendly and polite to me. But today I get offended the first time because I’m German. Now I known how it feels as a foreigner if you meet a racist. But I hope this will be an individuall case.
I started into my cycling season like every year in the end of march. But this time I’m much better in shape than the last years, so two of my trips made it into the top 10 of my longest trips. I want to give you the list of the longest day trips i made by bike, including the google earth files for the last two:
