Walking through the city half the night before shooting photos.....legs hurting from that walk prior to the start.....how stupid can one be?.....perfect sun......amazing big crowd at the start.....Hells Bells from Ac/DC as we count down the seconds.....slalom at high speed on our way forward......pulse 200......heavy legs.....where the hell is the next water station?.....touching the kids hands when skating by.....big grin during the whole race.....fetching bananas from a spectator.....following the girl with the fur bag......to fast for us......don’t split up but race a perfect team......sunset behind the Brandenburg Gate as we reach the finish.....can’t avoid to scream as I pass the Gate......consuming huge amounts of bananas, cookies and Red Bull afterwards....joking with the masseuse girls.....enjoying the party feeling......bad time but best race ever......sitting in an Vietnamese Restaurant with a hurting back.....when the hell can we register for next year?.....wondering whether there’s a Inline Skate Marathon in NYC, too.
