Launched in Interlaken was clear that it would be a tough race with a Kenyan security, the multiple winner Tesfaye Eticha as in ancient times from a larger group to which I held myself from. As we passed the 10km mark in 33.44 (as fast as I was never launched), I felt fresh. From then on it was in my group are a target delay-lock on while I from time to time, but overall I felt the effort a bit too intense. While Eticha together with the Kenyan Kemboi the HM brand to Lauterbrunnen in 1.h11.55! happened, the clock showed in my larger group (with all the favorites to slightly torn Patrick Wieser and Marc Lauenstein and Ahmet Arslan, who had already dropped out) 1h14.25.
When after nearly 26 km the steep curves began to Wengen, the two leaders still had a good 2-minute lead, I fell away from the chasing group and soon had the 15''behind the last of the group. Once I had found my rhythm, I began to stalk me again. When I overtook Martin Cox and I approached the group around Lobb, Sansar, Achmüller and Tarcis, I drew hoping to start a big comeback. subsided as the slope at km 27, Ançay Tarcis had to stand still plagued by cramps. Together with Lobb and Sansar I ran about 8 seconds behind Hermann-was suddenly I realized that it was a day where I had to fight, the legs felt heavy already. Pretty exhausted I passed Wengen at km 30 as 10 (And realized how Marc Lauenstein approached from behind). Lift I got when I OC President Chris Sailer called to my off the top (Eticha, bed, De Gasperi and the two Mexicans and Sanchez Carrera) amounts to 1:40 minutes. I focused as possible to run at pace and to drink as much as possible. I had registered it at the time yet: It had become quite warm, and the high temperatures together with the fast start made the race extremely difficult. Shortly after
Wengen, after about two hours of racing, overtook me Lobb, Sansar, and frog-I was in 13th Point, the distance to Hermann of just 10 seconds remained constant. At km 34 I concluded, finally, to Hermann on-I had back obsolete Sansar and all before me lie Africans (Eticha and four Kenyans) to run, so I was in 7th, but ran long been on the limit and feared a break-in. Shortly before Wixi (km 38), Hermann sat down again a few seconds on me, but we grabbed the Mexican Carera, who had taken apparently when he a few minutes before Marco De Gasperi! had attacked.
A short downhill section leads to km 39, where it then about 15 minutes the Eigermörane goes up the last good-km leads downhill to the finish on the Kleine Scheidegg. At the beginning of the final climb I was about 10 sec behind Hermann, from behind closed Sansar (later to little to fall back permanently). I was exhausted and could not walk, but understand that I have a track faster, "went" as Hermann. At km 40, which is 8 minutes before the climax, I decided just to be sure: I stopped and drank a cup of Coke on it and has a water right. Now I was but 20 seconds behind Hermann, but knew that they have invested in a strong finish. I slowly got closer, it overtook the collapsing Mexican Sanchez (and was now 5) - 1 min prior to the culmination was my turn. Just before the end of the climb I attacked, I had 3 minutes to catch up to 25 seconds on the Englishman ahead of me Lobb. I gritted my teeth, the pace was high and 200 m from the finish I was still 8 seconds back. I had no choice but to move into an already fast pace into the final sprint. I actually came up to Lobb, 50 meters from the finish I was overtaking on-my opponent responded strongly and rescued a podium finish.
