We had a few beautiful weeks in Amsterdam. Clear blue sky, sun and, consequently, full terraces across town. So you’re organizing the Zuidas Run and dotting the ‘i’s these warm days and naturally think, if only…….
So of course it rained on this important Sunday morning, the first bad weather in weeks.Throughout the Zuidas area, on the Gustav Mahlerplein and around the WTC area, the 2,000 runners took cover and for the most part did their warm ups inside the office buildings, usually crowded with suits, skirts and ties.
For running, this weather was great though. Not too hot, with lots of oxygen in the air there were some fast course records set:
- Koen van Asselt, boys 1KM: 3.13 minutes
- Maartje van Asselt, girls 1KM: 3.31 minutes
- Paul Bierman, Men 6KM: 20.55 minutes
- Patricia Schreurs, Women 6KM: 21.32 minutes
- Edgard Creemers, Men 16.1KM: 51.39 minutes
- Anja van ‘t Schip, Women 16.1KM: 1.04.42 minutes
I’m sure you’re missing my name on there :-). I did the 6KM in a respectable 25.58 minutes, finishing 39th on the 6KM Men. With the closing ceremony, the sun started peeking through the clouds. Coverband Trees made sure the people who were still around had a great Sunday afternoon.
