Münster, LVM Skyrun

1620374_700503106707339_967655169359256611_nToday’s LVM Skyrun in the building of the agricultural insurance company (LVM) in Münster was one of the best-organized and coolest towerruns which I have ever entered. White-knuckle for runners and spectators! Great moderation with cameras for live broadcast at the start, in the stairwell and at the finish line. The procedure was similar to a bet in the German TV show “Wetten dass ?!” The LVM staircase is glazed, so people could watch the race from outside. This was especially exciting after the first round because after that two runners duelled each other in every subsequent round. The first 128 men came into a second round and 64 of the women due to a lower participation. The fastest runner competed with three seconds delay against the slowest, the second fastest against second slowest etc. Via KO System the slower runner of the two dropped out, so that each round halved the number of runners. 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2. At the end only the winner remained. In the first round I came in in place 8 and was able to work my way forward to the sixth round, the quarter finals, where I dropped out against Tomas Celko. With my 7th place overall (out of 300)  and the strong European runners field I’m more than satisfied with the result! A very nice day with friends. Exciting till the end!
