April 6th, 2007 : Back in the ex GDR
So I took another trip to Berlin, that mental city seething with history, subculture, debauchery and a myriad of places to get a spot of afternoon tea.
Of course I had to ignore most of that – save for the tea – and skate the 2007 Berlin Half Marathon, which I managed to finish in a time of 51 minutes and 26 seconds. About eight minutes faster than my previous time, and quite good given that I was thinking I wasn’t even going to finish having been bought down by something migraine like the day before that left me with a stabbing headache at the start line and complete and utter dehydration by the finish.
