thanks for your household advice. we live in apartment with four kids. think again about not using a dryer when you need to do at least one load of laundry every day. we don't have enough place to put all those drying racks. also, the drying rack is used for drying my running clothes :)

Haha you got a point here! I am living in a 2 person 2 cat household while the cats take care of their "laundry" themselves... Not too much of a challenge here!

when we were on vacation in croatia just a few weeks ago, there was sun and wind and the laundy dried on the racks in 45 mins or so. no need for a dryer. here in hamburg it is a bit different...

Conclusion: Be on vacation more often!

Phew, what a revelation. I was almost left with a feeling of relief. That there wasn´t the one key factor as to why Hanover turned out the way it did. And Leipzig brought new experiences and insights. I find the process you described helpful in that despite all efforts to have the perfect race some things are never to be discovered/revealed. And hey, your sub 3-hr goal is worth going after since it probably still sparks a lot of motivation when you get back into running again after your break.

Ha, yes you are right – Actually it is a GOOD thing that I didn't find out what went wrong in Hannover ;-)
