Mountainman Grossarltal

After听having already run the Mountainman race in Nesselwang two years ago, it was his听first time in the Grossarl Valley, which is also known as 鈥淭he Valley of听Mountain Huts鈥� due to its unusually high concentration of huts. Thorsten听completed the 50 km / 31 mi long race with an elevation gain of 2,855 m /听9,367 ft in 09:10:19 h and finished in 11th place in his age group.听Despite the great result he remains modest. 鈥淯nlike road marathons, where my听full focus is on my running time, I want to enjoy mountain races and the听beautiful panorama. Sometimes I just stop to take photos鈥�, Thorsten told us. 鈥淚t听may sound crazy, but despite the physical exertion, mountain runs are also听relaxing to me. It's a time when I can be completely by myself, and it鈥檚 an听important balance to my job as a production manager at 麻豆直播app. I听encourage everyone to find such a balance, which may look different for one听another鈥�.听

For Thorsten, enjoying听the race included tasting the event鈥檚 typical aid station food: Kaiserschmarrn.听The traditional Austrian dessert is a scrambled and sugared pancake with听raisins and applesauce and was served at the mountain huts. 鈥淒elicious, but
heavy on the stomach鈥�, as Thorsten reported.听

Allg盲u Panorama Marathon

A premier听for him was the participation in the Allg盲u Panorama Marathon near the听German-Austrian border. This race was actually not in his race calendar. 鈥淢y听original plan was to run the Zugspitzlauf听on Germany's highest mountain. However, I did not feel prepared enough. So, instead I听joined a friend at very short notice and registered for the Allg盲u Panorama听Marathon three days prior to the start鈥�. But that didn't stop Thorsten from a听great placement. After 05:23:05 h, 42 km / 26 mi and 1,500 m / 4,921 ft of听elevation gain he crossed the finish line in 7th place in his age听group.听
