The 2 Race for the mountain run-Italy Cup in 2010 resulted from the Monte Bondone Trento Sopramonte (10.5 km, + 1.100, - 200 m).
8 days after the Zermatt Marathon, I tried to recommend me for the September to be held in Slovenia Mountain Running Championships. Since there can be placed six athletes per nation, for me was announced a top-six ranking. From Zermatt Marathon I had is recovering quickly and well, but I had the great heat of the last days rather added (if it is even too hot to sleep ...).
The course route met me-not quite a first long ascent (interrupted by a short piece, including downhill sloping passage on grassland) of just over 4 km long central section was fast on a forest, with the last 2 km were downhill. The final climb, which I wanted to host the race was 3 km long (to my surprise, then 1.5 of them flat).
Shortly after take-off (10 m before a right turn) narrowed the distance runners so we were forced to adopt a single file line. I had fared pretty well, ran at about 15 Place. As before with the ongoing demolition something, I lost 5.6 seconds on a larger group around Andrea Regazzoni, Mauro Lanfranchi, Hannes Rungger and Emanuele Manzi. In the first steep section after about 10 minutes of the race I was able to catch up on this group later on the 6th Gabriele Abate had we (had the favorite trio with the twins and De Gasperi Dematteis already sold) to the 25 seconds behind. On a short oblique passage I got back a few seconds on my group until the end of the middle part (after I Simukeka, Golinelli, and Lanfranchi Manzi had left behind me) I was able to catch up on Regazzoni and Rungger. By the time another 5 km to the finish were lacking, we were in the stands 8, 9 and 10 The next few miles were downhill and a half me a bit too fast, Simukeka flew past us (on the final climb to become final break). To Abate we lacked at the beginning of the final climb to the 30 ", and the strong current Pintarelli Gil was still ahead of us to rank seventh
As there are three kilometers before the finish was uphill, put on Rungger Hannes, I could not even go with him with Andrea Regazzoni. After a few minutes, I finally found a good rhythm and was able to unlock 1.5 km before the finish on Regazzoni, a little later I also sought Pintarelli. We approached while rank 6 (Abate) and 7 (Rungger), but it was too late and Pintarelli and me only the sprint was to rank 8, I got close.
The tight spacing to rank 6 (15 sec) and the Lost Sprint are a little sad, on the other hand, I am satisfied with my performance. The shape fits there are more races on and in terms of World Cup qualifying, the starting point now is not the best but I'll try it at the decisive run in Susa (August 22) again.

Mountain Marathon!

the climb of Sunnegga, about 26km (Photo W. Stinn)
appeared after my win at the Zermatt Marathon 2008 me luck on the mountain long distance to have left: 2008 I got myself one just before the Jungfrau Marathon febrile infection (and could then run a satisfactory race), last year I broke out in Zermatt (also due to the heat) that the Jungfrau Marathon, it got even worse: I had to, because of a muscle injury, give up early.
developing self-confidence so it was important to finally once again reap a sense of achievement. The conditions seemed good: I had the last three months can work out well and that Berg first eight races of the season at a consistently high level of services provided.
Even before the start of the year's ninth Edition of the race was aware of all the participants that it would be a hot race. Add to my sharpest opponents, I counted the winner of the LGT Marathon Patrick Wieser, the Graubünden-Marathon winner Tim Short and in an excellent mountain running form located Jean-Christophe Dupont. The race developed, in my view, unfavorable: Wieser went to a brisk pace, I left after only one kilometers tear down (too well I remembered in 2009 when I had followed the pace dictated by the Finn Raittila too long and then slumped horribly ). I tried, behind the afloat started to form a group of Swiss-alone, but the Frenchman followed me Dupont. In Wieser we initially lost 5-6 seconds per km on the flat area in the climb, we got to a minimum. After 30 minutes I got from my Dupont tow. I concentrated on my rhythm, out pacing to and especially not to drink as much as possible. After 60 minutes I stopped racing 1:20 behind Wieser, in Zermatt (km 20.5) was 1.40. Dupont, however, was closer to me than I thought. He followed me at a distance of only 30 "

After Zermatt is a forest trail leads to 6 km with 700 meters to Sunnegga (km 30): At this crucial stretch, I lost more Wieser time, and when I turned around once, seemed dangerously close to Dupont. The art lay in the high-speed, but not to keep high-I decided the race for a final time to 3:10 to put my energy and divide accordingly. The high temperatures to over 2000 m above sea level. M. surprised me-but I drank as much as I could. From Sunnegga I could enlarge on a faster track of the distance to Dupont at Riffelalp (km 39, 2:49), I went with 1.55 lead over the French in the final climb and was able to defend with the last reserves of rank 2. Patrick Wieser had a worthy winner, crossed just four minutes before me the goal line.


results Zermatt Marathon:

first Patrick Wieser 3h09.34
second Gerd Frick 3h13.36
third Jean-Christophe Dupont 3h14.46

14th Zirbitzkogel Berglauf

10 meters from the finish (Photo: Kurt Wolf Berger)

What Corsa al Monte Faudo in Italy, is the Zirbitzkogel- Mountain Run in Austria. Everything that has in Austria mountain running scene rank and fame, is measured in the last decade and a half in the Styrian Zirbenland. 2001 was the Tyrolean Alexander Rieder be celebrated as a national champion.

This year, now organized by the SC Shelter with the untiring Johann riders at the head of the now 14th Circulation above mountain run. While it was started in the early years of shelter from (course record 1h25.28, Helmut Schmuck, 1998), then you have found St. Anna as a starting point a definitive version. In this case, to 10 km altitude over 1,100 meters to overcome, 800 of them on the last 5 kilometers.

I've been in shelter for the first time in 1998, most with too little training, start. At that time I broke a total and lost the day's winner 12! Minutes. In subsequent years, I managed several podium finishes (but not win). My last Fall in back is five years.
This year I have stood together Four Kenyans from run2gether project, the poles and Dlugosz Bierczak and the two old masters of jewelry and treasure from the starting line in St. Anna. When I follow soon Dlugosz and three Kenyans could not, I decided to run, my rhythm, and wear the race on the second, more difficult half. I was alone in 5th Site at km 4, I came closer to the Kenyan Yiego, Dlugosz was about 35 seconds.
happened at miles 5 to the Waldheim Hut (1,618 m) and comes in a steeper section. This offers the possibility to give me an overview: In the first 25 minutes of the race I have on the leading Kosgei lost 1'40 "on Kipchirchir about a minute, Dlugosz has still 35 "projection Yiego 10". In the first climb I find a good rhythm immediately and close quickly on Yiego, he falls back immediately. Until minute 32, 33 of the residue to Dlugosz remains the same, but I feel very fresh and I feel that I come closer, at minute 40, I caught up with the Poles. We are in a very steep section, I go over and immediately take Kipchirchir targeted. The second of Kenyans current location is still a minute before me, his step betrays no weakness. From time to meet me now icy wind gusts, I hope, in the extremely steep final climb to space myself moderately improve. After 52 minutes I was barely 2 minutes behind Kosgei, still 1 minute Kipchirchir. It does not help, I'm not closer, but I am very pleased when I pass by 59.56 the finish line in third.
results:
first Kosgei 58.02
second Kipchirchir 58.50
third Frick 59.56
4th Dlugosz 60.48
5th Bierczak 63.34
6th Yiego 65.09
7th Jewelry 65.28

Deluxeguy Fawkes Mask

the opening of the Siemens A City

spoken with former colleagues this week to learn first because of the opening today. Whether I will come not know what was after all an invitation, however, from a good colleague.
a friend asked about it, before the Years has left the factory, the quick response, on a rainy day, perhaps, but a beautiful day it is certainly not for her. Today was a beautiful, very beautiful day.
'd like a few old friends and concerned parties drummed and would like to have been present in a group. Therefore
from a distance, a few words.


What I think when I hear of this company?
wait first I still on a service certificate, after all, passed nearly two and a half months. A template is once ended up with me with the ability to change requests! Although it is common for me it is a lack of respect. Once a man, even addressed as a woman. The history of almost twenty years in this line is not as good as before. look with a few links as tips as to how this has returned. I only do know that others have waited much longer, but who knows, maybe there is still a record. Shortage of personnel was also a response that it takes that long.
miss Then I still have a real answer to the complaint of the final statement, which is definitely wrong. Perhaps they think that the man has got a good social package, and should be quiet. But a person who is unemployed and retraining, has nothing to give. Yet to a prospective accountant! You can even try to explain to me, but there is nothing there, just a word once, both are ready for inspection, but is now back even longer.
would be nice of course, a fee of stolen time.
might after all preparations for the celebrations after the ceremony so now moving forward more.

What I have personally experienced the last few years, which will be remembered for how a company treats people, will be worked up, that can not be described in a few paragraphs.
flashlights, comments by colleagues: the line manager of the year, the company doctor was even on site, this woman must go to the doctor, yes, she can walk at their own cost, but if they tomorrow is not here, it may as well stay at home. She was not at the doctor and the next day off of work, only at their own cost a couple of hours. Works? Not applicable. - Three days before she was at the report, I was told. Because of their sick leave. Sick in the company. With a flu. A fun-loving middle-aged woman, but asthma. Unforgettable for me to hear the love of life, the laughter, but not anymore. - A man is always quiet home because he is poor. In these troubled times of uncertainty. His wife found him on the ground. The man has lost it. - Workplace design. An external consultant may modify at its discretion. Discussions. Who was invited and not happened anyway? You guessed it. The works council. - Three young skilled workers make a test day in production, come silly to say, this is not for them. After sitting in the office. They used to where the old man of a certain age a better place, they tell me resignation and surprise, now it is vice versa. The boys go way to the gym after work, as not busy. - A department head of the department as the first leaves the sinking ship because he is supposedly so used to his new place, what could not be confirmed. Commented it was this: he does something that has previously been through the secretary on the side. - People are in a Inspection department asked the written response requested, for which they need a soldering iron. - An internal and external consultants eliminate one of two testing machines, check twice for 100% is not necessary. Knowing know that they are coming together to jointly than 60% of the amount of returns we are not surprised. - And so on, without end.

Personally I can be with this company no matter where you live is best if you have two memberships in the bag. Since I can not produce such a can, it was only a matter of time. In earlier times they were much more radical, as I learned from stories.
a company that for a man who had become ill, there is, has no suitable work in which one would use it even better than before, but for friends, with a higher salary, even inventing jobs, I can leave it stolen.

As a European I still hope that this group remembers and self-respect back wins and European thinking, maybe longer stretches to the east, though, but first to those people look at, that this company has become large. Extension can only mean to keep their own level and beyond gather to offer, in a fair contest, but not to level down, for the benefit of a minority.

The building itself had I only seen in the slow Arise, have often complained about the way so long, and seen from a distance, train station, it does not look that bad, though, a foreign body in an otherwise barren area, it is yet. What can be read as, the air, noise and climate problem itself seems to continue in office areas. Who was allowed to let off steam at home here has probably never worked even in a large room. The requirements for this job should know it. Rooms for up to 64 people, no partition, all glass walls, no privacy, loud.
is the people who are welcome there, not care, and life will go on as usual, because people will be the same. I've heard of a Christmas party, as people danced, a few days after they first heard the shocking news that have found a few weeks later in a wave of dismissals and wage cuts expression. Unfortunately, the people fit the higher in the hierarchy of more and more to the management of this company. There's a scene in the documentary film by Harun Farocki, Workers Leaving the Factory. It has not changed much.
