Want to see me naked ?


Hi out there !

After my sudden end of the WHW run 2009 finaly the doctors found what happend to me.

I have about 10 big kidney stones. See the nice picture.

And a part of such a stone found a way to my bladder during the run.

The result was a very intense pain and my sudden drop out.
I went to go to the wonderful glasgow hospital.
Told the doctors that i run today more than a marathon (it was about 8 am !) and about my pain.
They dont belived me - thought im a litte bit silly ! (maybe i am)
Nobody in the hospital know about the WHW Run.

Only got some pills against my pain.

So back in Austria i went to several doctors an now i am prepairing for the hospital tomorrow.
Will stay for about 3 days.

Hope that everything is OK afterwards and am thinking about WHW 2010.....

aus und vorbei

Komme grad aus dem Spital in Glasgow

Ich habe nach 43 km einen Krampf in der Blase bekommen.

Ist sehr schmerzhaft. An weiterlaufen war nicht zu denken

Obwohl die Füße noch wunderbar in Ordnung waren.

Das wars dann.

Melde mich wieder

Ein frustrierter

The runners are running

After the last briefing the run started at 1am. The start is amazing, everyone seems highly motivated, nobody is worried.  At least this was my impression….

The support team made it to the first checkpoint in time.
