Top runners start as
Team Oberstdorf
|
 |
|
The
duo which represents the starting town of
the third GORE-TEX™ Transalpine-Run has
proofed last year that experience pays off.
In 2007, Markus Schuster and Seppi Neuhauser
came in as follow up men team in Latsch right
behind of two-time-winners Ettore Girardi
and Silvano Fedel. In addition, both finished
as third in the overall ranking. |
|
| |
|
| Both athletes
are already in a good shape this year. Here an example
of what they showed so far: At the Vorarlberg Nationals
in the half marathon, Seppi took home the victory and
Markus jumped on the podium as third. |

Despite the good ranks so far and their experience
in the mountain running - both are organising a
15 kilometre long run with 900 metres of elevation
gain called Widdersteinlauf together with their
running club - "Team Oberstdorf" is overmodest.
"Our main goal is making it to Latsch and to
enjoy the Transalpine-Run like last year",
says 39-years-old Neuhauser. But he also adds: "Maybe
we will risk a little bit more so the gap to the
top athletes won't be that big anymore. But when
it comes to stage races over eight days one can't
name ranks or times as a goal. The ultimate ambition
is to enjoy the run!" |
|
|
| |
| Therefore,
both are looking forward to "fantastic scenery, the
other runners and a well-organised event." For this
reason, Neuhauser/Schuster have to train, train and train
to reach their goals - namely "with intensive mountain
runs in the Kleinwalsertal." |
