It's the day before 7 March 2010, my first marathon this year will begin soon. Barcelona is one of the cities that I like. Many attractions, good weather, stroll ......, and the marathon tomorrow, right through all the most beautiful sights
of Barcelona.
I'm so happy, I'm curious to see what Barcelona will show me, and I, as always, respect of the 42.195 km .
It's a great Feels like the whole city can be felt in the marathon fever, all music, posters, barriers, and many runners on the move. ;
thousands flock from all directions to Marató Expo. Yes, Barcelona is definitely a very international audience. I met a group of runners that meets world's only such occasions, is really exciting that wanted me to join them. 
look so beautiful the images, blue sky, sun and Spain, one can not be seen: it is much colder this year, that is only just 13 ° C. OK to race like that so times are good, but for tomorrow 4 ° C called for, and that's too cold for me viiiiiel! 
from now to the hotel in advance or a "serious" night, and then get up early in the morning, at 8:30 go go.
4 star hotel, Barcelona Universal, good location, just 1.5 km from start, what more could you want ... No way! They have no ear for marathoners! Breakfast at 7 AM and even after repeated requests no chance that we can get past breakfast. This is not as nice, and so that is now in this blog.
At last the morning is here, breakfast was not perfect :-( Barcelona Universal is to blame, knurrr.)
Hey simmt but otherwise everything perfect weather, a little cold but otherwise all OK.
I'm not the only freezes, all running quite nervous about the start area, I do not do ne in me. Enjoy the atmosphere is a great feeling .....
More and more runners come to the start, about 10,000 take part in the marathon, and if only one still has a coach with the process of then are now about 20,000 people in the start area
My advisor team :-))) Rosmarie, Claudia and Kurt. Well look if I see them during the run times.
The kick-off, hey what show: a huge fountain with paper confetti shoots into the sky, a mumbling ohhh ahhh
through the crowd.
through the crowd.
Hm, one minute is over I'm standing still, what's going on. Then slow movement on the ground. 10,000 runners push the Start band, it takes about 3 minutes until I finally was able to run my pace. But then it still went pretty well underway in advance, as though all the lost time back.
It really is a great ride, the entire 42km is offered as a good mood, many spectators along the entire route. Hey and then there were so ne spinning force about 50 people who animated the middle of the run-scene between the marathoners and their training, which was really amazing!!
There was a lot going on so that you almost forgot that there were still many places of interest, which had to offer the course .
The great buildings of the architect and artist Antoni Gaudi, yes, yes it is already awesome as it runs so far, and still has time to enjoy all this. It seems the saying in mind:
Triathlon - Not just a sport but a way of life
!
Temple de la Sagrada FamÃlia by Expiatori at kilometer 18, it is still true loose, no signs of fatigue. The food is also ideal, every few km's different drinks in cups and water bottle.
km 28, plaza de las glories, or 14km, I have no complaints, you can enjoy the run more. About 5 km long cross-country skiers here. In thoughts you see at the beginning with admiration the rapids, and then he he changed the page now I'm on the side where I see the slower ones, have a good feeling when you can look back and see 5km that meet even thousands.
On Arc de Triunf the mileage is 35 over, so here we go not so ring, can you manage something more leisurely now, Finally, I just want to run with good grace the finish.
Hey and I almost vergssen: Rosmarie, Claudia and Kurt I have seen on the Rambla.
is already great, and that with so many participants. Ok ok, that free radical outfit can be difficult to overlook, of course ;-)
3:35 Hey, is not my best time, but a good clean time . And it was a good event, a good marathon, great people, a great city .......
And now: Yes, also belonging to the marathon. A good beer, a fine meal. Everyone loves this marathoner I have finished the course well, so I still force you to stroll and enjoy Barcelona
But now there `s something between the Beisser , the hot plates are hot and the beer has given new power ;-)
>>>> It was a normal day in Barcelona, but the Marathon was unique \u0026lt;\u0026lt;\u0026lt;\u0026lt;\u0026lt;\u0026lt;\u0026lt;
