Zurich has a series of races around the year called “Zürilaufcup”. If you participate in at least 6 races, you get into the annual ranking. As I have just joined the age group 50-59, my chances of getting in the top ten of that group is higher.
I have done 4 races so far and I finished 3rd twice, once 4th and once 7th. The races are well organized and located in beautiful areas. Although I am happy when I have finished a race, I absolutely hate the hours leading up to the race and standing nervously at the starting line. And I hate the time during the race, when you start to feel the pain and wonder why you’re doing this.
Here are some pictures from races this year:
I added one of Kai because it’s a really cool pic of him which even made the local news.
The next Zürilaufcup race will be on Saturday, 25 August. Still a little bit of time to train (and do those intervals!).
