// Malerweg as a supported FKT attempt to beat my personal best //
The first 30 km felt very tough and I had doubts, but from km 33 to 95 I found a great rhythm an enjoyed to the fullest. The final 20 km were all about digging deep and pushing it to the finish line - but that's just the ultra game, I think and still a great ratio.
> Support & Crew:
My husband provided crew support with food and drinks at multiple stations along the route, teammate Timon joined me 3 times for several sections.
> Route & Detour:
Followed the official route with one mandatory exception on stage 2: Due to storm damage from the previous week, I took the official detour here. I ran t<up toward Bastei, turned around, bypassed the Amselgrund and then took the official pedestrian detour toward Rathewalde.
Impact: This detour added less than 2 km in distance with slightly less elevation gain compared to the original track.
