No, it wasn't me who suggested ringing the alarm clock at 6:30 am. That came from the team. They were allowed into the hall from 8:00 am. So they wanted to be there at 8:00.
This time I made breakfast, as Matthias wasn't there this time. I started the coffee machine, cut the bread, cleared out the fridge and set the table outside by the pond. In the meantime, BioBrause packed up her things that were still lying around from the night's meeting and stowed them in the car.
That was something very special. The whole cottage village was still asleep. Only the breeding pair of rails with their three chicks were already busy foraging for food. Idyllic, I hear you patter.
The sports halls are located in "Geneper Parken" and park is indeed an apt description: lots of greenery, a stream, a lake, lots of wilderness. However, this meant that it was quite a walk from the parking lot to the competition arena. On the first day, we walked around the outside of the streets because we didn't trust the suggested route through the middle of the greenery. Fortunately, Kathrin then consulted a hiking app that confirmed the route through the wilderness, so from then on we took a much more pleasant and shorter route.
Speaking of Kathrin: I had only accredited the team and myself as coach to the World Cup for a lot of money. Kathrin therefore had to buy a day ticket for considerably less, which was only valid from 9:00 am. And this despite the fact that the competitions started at 9:00 am.
The first four runs (to be published bit by bit) were not as perfect as we are used to from BioBrause.
