Tauchscher Stadtlauf 10 km race
This was a race of extremes: first, very hot and humid, 26° with 62% relative humidity. I started off really well, use the downhill on the first km to clock a fast one but then I felt the heat and tried to keep up a good pace without keeling over. In the second lap, I could see the ominous clouds approaching, in the third lap, it was clear that a massive thunderstorm, a supercell was headed our way. In the fourth an final lap, the first wind gusts hit me and then the rain began. It was a downpour, only a few minutes and the water rushed down the streets and I fought the current. Also, lots of lightning nearby. I'm glad I made it in one piece to the finish and didn't get my path blocked by a fallen tree. Some of the slower runners had to climb over it to finish. Crazy times! Race blog later when I have reviewed the footage of the storm - it will be a crossover between a weather and a race report.

Happy with 5th overall and 2nd in F40.
