10k Misari/Seoul

Kimchi and Tofu after the race

Today I ran the 10k in Misari in the greater Seoul area. My friend Bokjin Park picked me up from the nearest station at 8am. The picture shows me in front of his shoe-stall. FAAB (Free As A Bird) is a shoe for ultrarunners, BJ is the cha…

Worldcup Stadium Seoul 5k/Marathon

I won the 5k at Worldcup Stadium today, in a ridiculously slow 18:45. I had wanted to run 10k, but Jae had only a number for the 5... never mind, it was a good practice, and, as I started from the back, still a reasonable result, and good to win.

Team-mate Chris Doll finished the full marathon in 2:50:40, placing sixth over-all.

And do you guys see what a Japanese cell-phone can do? Uploaded the pic straight from the venue!

Nerima Hikarigaoka Road-race


I ran the 10k today, finished in 38:41, much better than last week, a good result considering the fact that I usually get up just 30min before this race started - so I was basically sleepwalking! I think I missed the podium by one position! Namban's Omar Minami was running among the top 10 of the half-marathon… Continue

Namban 10k at Arakawa


I really enjoyed today's 10k though the time (39:16) was not up to my expectations, but well, it was a bit hot. Great concerted organizing effort by the Namban bunch! Special thanks to Phil Ryan!
Congrats to all the winners!
Official results will follow at: Namban ReContinue

10k in Eichen/Germany


Ran my fifth 10k this year, won for the fourth time. It was great to meet my friends one last time, eventough one of them got cheated out of a medal because of a mistake by the organizer. And great BBQ after the event!

10k in Karben/Germany


Ran the fourth 10k this year, managed to win my age-group again, even though this one is near Frankfurt and quite competitive. Placed 11th over-all among about 240 runners in 39:41.
Pic shows my clubmates Helmut (70, second in M70) and Elvira (62).
