What does a runner, when after a good preparation for the big highlight of the season for various reasons really go wrong. 'Pause', one would think. One or two warps in his little room, and mourning after the last chance. Other runners go to full confrontation and look for the same time the next competition. The best any longer, harder and when it comes two weeks later. One is after all well prepared.
, also with Manuela, after they had not done their preferred time in Dresden, was blown far from trouble, but the same time the German Championship over 50km in Bottrop sought as compensation. After had already won the 50km in August in Leipzig against well-known competition, they wanted to be there to get the right feeling of success of the season.
The weather on race day in Bottrop was anything but agreeable, 6 degrees and very autumnal. At least it was fairly dry. The track itself is not necessarily easy, some with leaf-covered forest tracks and little increases from time to time.
took while in the men from the beginning of the Arnstadt Peter Seifert (fka Peter Rodewald), the guide, developed in the women's a thrilling race. At half time the race was just under Manuel with 20 seconds in third place, before the second round, nor the was able to overtake in front of her lying runners. From KM42 they took the lead and had to leave but at the end of fighting a lot and pass the subsequent winners at KM47 Birgit Schonherr-Holscher (after all, the European champion over 100 km of 2006) still. In the end, but Manuela took a sensational 2nd place, making German vice champion in the 50km. For men, as expected won Peter Seifert.
With such a result can still finish the season in good conscience. Our congratulations!
