That’s what it looked like — unfortunately, it stayed rather close to this for the first few kilometers. I took over whenever possible, but I couldn’t find my rhythm (how should I, going 5:45 in a spot, 4:15 a few meters on, then back to 5:25, then 4:27…)

These masses of people aren’t for me. I was completely stressed out by these huge amounts of people. My heart rate stayed at around 180-195. My usual heart rate is ~130-140, 155 when I really push it hard. #running #einstein #marathon #ulm
