Meeting up and training with my buddy David at the gym, to get in great shape. 

The elevator to success is always out of order, but the staircase is always open.

After I arrived at the finish line at the Eiffelturm in 9:43 min, I was grateful that I could be part of this special event.

Now I am glad that I have become a lot stronger in the last weeks and hope to be able to live this out in the up-coming race. The Taipei 101 run-up in Taiwan next sunday is expecting 3000 starters – or more. Let’s Rock’n’ Roll!

The seventh round in Warsaw. A very neatly organized event at the Rondo 1 Tower in Poland’s capital # 836 steps to go up.

6 of the currently 10 best stairs runners worldwide were at the start. The first 10 qualified for the second round. There we started with the time difference which we got in the first race to the front man resp. to the result list. This meant, all 10 runners simultaneously on the stairs, with the attempt to beat each other.

Being on the ball… one by one. 3:58 min.!

Very satisfied, everything given – awesome race!

Winning! Over 1600 climbers came to this charity event on this rather cool, early morning and gave themselves the edge in the 4 Presidential Towers – one by one – 180 floors. Quite centrally located, the towers are just a stone’s throw away from the Willis Tower.

Despite a light cold I could win today. Except for my first run, in a time of 3:30 minutes, my total time of 16:01 minutes was not outstanding – far from a record. Nevertheless, the correct arrangement makes the result.

The time which one had to cross indoor between the towers was also measured.

A visit to the Chicago Planetarium and lunch with friends made the day complete!

Love what you do and do what you love!
