One of the
many traditions we have at our Institute is the annual „Stadtwerke Lübeck –
Staffelmarathon“, a run of 10x 4.2 km.
Traditions
should not be broken with, so we tried to gather a team for this years‘ event - we almost didn’t manage to do so, as we lost some runners, recruited new, lost
again some, and finally, one day before the run, we had our team of 10 highly
motivated runners, the “IIEG & Friends”!
 |
| The team: Jaafar, Krishan, Marius, Christoph, and Yannick (back); Marlon, Jelena, Eva, Caro, and Dominik (front) |
Not only
our motivation, but also the weather was perfect, as was the support of our fantastic
fans!
 |
| Almost blue sky and sun above the finish line, and, even more odd, almost 25°C (77° F) in October! |
 |
| IIEG-Fan Club, enjoying the good weather, some coffee, and cheering up our runners |
We finished
the relay-marathon with a time of 3:20:22 hours, which ranked us 17th
out of 106 participating teams! Not bad, I would say! :-)
 |
| Escorting our final runner to the finish line - you can see the devotion and the effort some did put into this run :-) |
 |
| Done! Happy “IIEG & Friends” after finishing the marathon and receiving their medals! |
Many thanks
go to Marina for organizing, to Gabriele and the DZHK for sponsoring our nice
team shirts, to our fans who supported us through the whole competition, to
Ingrid for the beautiful images, and last but not least, to the friends of our
institute who helped us build this great team!
Hope to see you running or at least cheering next year!
JA
