Time is running so fast. After a nice Christmas holiday in good old Germany with some marathon runs, I’m back again in Asia and looking forward to the first highlight in the running year. The Vibram® Hong Kong 100 race will be hold this weekend. This was my first 100k race last year and I’m so happy that I was …
Meet and Greet in Guizhou
I’m back now at home after I spent an amazing weekend down in Guizhou province for my repeated run at the Guizhou100 3-days stage run. It was now my second time here after I finished already here in 2014. It is one of my 4 favorite runs here in China. The event was 100% identical as last years run. The cities, …
Dali100 – Another unsuccessful story
Now I’m sitting again in the bus back to Kunming airport. 5 hours bus ride on a lousy rainy day will not help to increase my mood. So the Dali100 Ultratrail was not successful for me. The race started well with 18km flat track from the start line to the foot of the mountain. The run to the top of this …
Dali100 – Pre-race day
We are finally on the way to Dali. I’m sitting now in a shuttle bus which will bring the runners from Kunming airport to Dali, one of the main tourist cities here in Yunnan. We should be arrive after a 5 hour bus ride. About the race I have not so many information as I like to have. There is …
Ninghai Trail – Review (Be your own Hero)
It’s been a while ago since I updated my blog. I’m very sorry for this. After the demoralized DNF in Ladakh at the Khardungla Challenge (I took myself out of the race after 2.5 hours with huge health problems) I wasn’t in the mood to write anything in the blog. Back in China I also was busy to earn some money that …
Dalian 100k – recap
Last weekend I was running successful my second 100K race. After the Vibram-HK100 in January in Hong Kong, I went this time to Dalian, a beautiful small city in North-east China. Located directly on the yellow sea, the city is famous in China for its seafood, shipyards and the 100k Ultra-trail at the City Mountains. There are many mountains in …
Ready for DALIAN 100 ULTRA ENDURANCE RACE
Looking forward to run this Saturday in Dalian / North-east China. 100k ultra-trail in the Dalian city hills. It’s another UTMB qualification run with 3 points. The race has a distance of 101km with a total ascent of 5750m (acc. organizers). I have a gpx-file from last years race which tells me the ascent is just 4300m, so just run and …
Vibram Hong Kong 100 – Recap
The recap went longer as expected, but just a day after this great event the emotions are still high. Maybe the recap can also motivate someone to set a target, go out and achieve it. Now, back at HK airport, sitting at Starbucks and still some hours until I will fly back to Shanghai, it´s perfect time to write this …
