I started in Blankenheim at the source of the Ahr and started early so I ran the first hour with a headlamp. The first 55k I ran everything except for the steepest parts, thereafter I was only able to run the flats and downhills. About halfway I stopped at a bakery for some nice sweet buns. The weather was really nice, sun and about 23 degrees celsius. I felt pretty good and never doubted that I would get the FKT, but in the end I only had about 20mins. to spare….ooops. Back in Blankenheim I treated myself with some apple pie and icecream….really nice!
