The form is still there!
Andi goes on Saturday 4 September with mixed feelings at the start of the granite Beisser marathon over 96km. The year before, he had no reserves to the season. But this year he failed to get its performance potential! From the start, Andi went into the lead with, even in the first long climb, he managed to get away from the rest of the field and lead the first time this season the Sptze a marathon for a long time. After a few kilometers was "Mr. Marathon" Martin Kellermann connection. Together we went into the bog where Andi was able to sell much in the sliding sections. During the subsequent Mountain Sprint Andi gave full throttle and secured himself as the winner of the mountain sprint at Bärnkopf premium.
finished 4 km later, an irreparable puncture his leadership. Andi went back to the next street and sen contacted his supervisor Michael Reichl. by mobile phone. A short time later, he was able to continue the race with the slightly heavier spare wheel. The defect has cost several minutes. This unlocked the third placed Michael Binder to Andi.
Later in the race went blank Andis energy storage. A reduced pace and activation of the last reserves (Cola, RedBull) we went the last 20 km to the finish. Unfortunately, for this race day preparation phase Andis in Bezug auf die Ernährung nicht ganz ausreichend, sonst wäre ein Stockerlplatz trotz Defekt sicher gewesen! Am Ende wurde es Platz 4 der Gesamtwertung des Grantibeisser 2010 Elite Extrem und als Trostpflaster der Sieg beim Bergsprint am Bärnkopf!
Andi bereitet sich nun auf seinen Saisonabschluss Ende September in Istrien den Parenzana Marathon vor. Sein 3. Etappenrennen in dieser Saison wird ein hoffentlich krönender Abschluß seiner erfolgreichsten Saison. Andi: "Mit dieser Saison kann ich mehr als zufrieden sein! Es ist besser gelaufen als ich mir je erträumt hätte und der Sieg bei der Transalp 2010 wird für mich unvergesslich bleiben!"
Ride on!
