Beautiful small shady pond at the edge of the forest just outside Haslach. Next to it is a tavern with a nice outdoor area - that people envied there today.

October 6, 2024,Black Forest Trailrun Masters, Biereck - Gehrenberg Trail ⏱️⛰️ 🇩🇪 AK🥈

The Black Forest is always a good choice!

Today we raced in Elzach, without much elevation gain, but the pace was much higher.

Really fast in the first half, but then a bit slower towards the end.

I got a bit frustrated at one point: I missed a route marker and ran an extra 10 minutes. But everything was great!

Sunday, in the middle of the Black Forest, in Elzach: four hours at 7-8 degrees Celsius, which felt like four, rain, cold wind, muddy in places, perfect conditions for trail running! 🙂

Last year I had 0.5L of walnut oil + honey, this year only 0.4L of oil, even though I was faster this year ;) Inflation 😜?
