“I look back on every single one of my 15 TARs with lots of pleasure. Every single race was unique with regard to the team partner, participants, courses, stage towns, weather, accommodations, unexpected problems and positions in the ranking. But all TARs have something in common: After a very intense week full of highs and lows all of the 15 races end with a very emotional finish and a feeling of happiness that words can not describe. Something you have to experience as a runner. The TAR makes you happy, proud and mentally so strong that private challenges at home or at work don’t seem so insuperable anymore after a TAR finish.”
“Make every minute count, if you can’t run, walk if a walk is too fast, do it slower, whatever, make forward progress and repeat, every minute. Physical strength will get you to the Start Line, but mental strength will get you to the finish line.“
