Unicycle Marathon Championship 2010

Dienstag, Mai 4th, 2010

The Düsseldorf unicycling marathon 2010 at 2nd mai was a fantastic event with unicyclists from 12 nations – I think the longest travel made Ricardo from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Jan Logemann set a new world record  1:25:15, even though Knut Steffens had a better netto time 1:24:58 (he started 29seconds later) but for records the brutto time is relevant. Sam Wakeling on the third place and Christian Armin on the forth place also run faster than the old record from Chuck Edwall 1:27:08 Congratulations to all of them!

German Women´s Champion 2010 of the unlimited category is Nadine Wegner, with a Triton titanium triple uni 29″ Schlumpf with 125mm cranks, 2nd Esther Matschinsky and 3rd place got Triton Team rider Anita Vogl with a Triton titanium triple uni 29″ without gear and 75mm cranks. Congratulations to them, well done!

My personal hero was Roger Davies from Unicycle.com, UK, who did the Marathon in 1:34:20, riding with two broken ribs and a broken arm. He was the first in age Group +40 – what an effort! I lost nine and a half minutes on him and rode on second place, Frank Van der Zwaluw was 3rd.

My tribute to all participants  – espacially to my wife Elke who rode the first time.
