CRIScom travel experience flow – The personal website of Christoph Potzinger

With temperatures at 10 °C and no wind, the stage was set for a perfect half marathon here in Graz. I had really good legs and managed to run a smooth race without exhausting myself .
I finished 18th overall but 2nd in my age-group M-35. For the first time, I will be on the podium for the rewards ceremony . Great
. Syl and I go back now for the ceremony .

Time: 1:18:55 hrs, 3:44 min/km, HRav 168, 16.04 km/h

I have found this short presentation on the presentationzen website. I have skipped over it a dozen times since I didn’t find a presentation with text appealing. But when I finally stopped to watch it, it really made me think . This is an extraordinary presentation, one that is not only asking to question one’s value it also ends with a surprising and uplifting denouement
.

Taking it as the first real test of the season, I participated at the charity run in Gabersdorf on March 1, 2009. After a tough running week with an exhausting long jog over 31 ks on Friday, I scaled down from 15 ks and opted for the 10 kilometer distance, which turned out to be a good decision . The race took place on a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon with a record crowd of 100 participants.

Our team performed extraordinarily well, winning the 10ks (Jörg Achten, 35:02 min) and 15 ks (Christian Kleineberg, 53:17 min) competitions

. Vinzenz Kumpusch was a strong runner up over 10 ks (35:06 min) just a breath behind Jörg and I became 3rd in a personal 10 ks record of 37:26 (3:44 min/km).

Extrapolating from our performance on Sunday, much can be expected at the Austrian marathon championships in Salzburg on May 3, 2009  . We have a strong team and are be contenters for one of the top spots in the team competition.
