On May 17th I attended the Ludwig Jall Sportfest in the Dante Stadium in Munich. After the fall the week before in Regensburg (Read more) my goal for this reace was to not overpace in the beginning and use long strides for the race. This time I ran with Edi. He is one of my regular guides for track training outside. We had a good warm up and made some speed progression runs to the target pace for the race. This always helps me to note overpace. It also did this time. The start was a bit delayed. 4 times we heard “on your marks”, because there was a technical issue with the loud speaker.

But then it was resolved and we were off. We really hit the target pace well and powered through the whole 400m and finished in 70.6 seconds. A new personal best for me. At the medial ceremony we both got a gold medal. It really was a great race and I’m looking forward to the German para athletics champhionship in the middle of June!

I made a video of the race with my Meta Glasses and videos from my family:
