An enjoyable short stage across the flat farmlands of Minnesota. The start
got delayed 1 1/2 hour though, as I had another puncture on the stroller
that I am running with. Luckily I had still one spare tire and tube left in
reserve so it was no big problem - but it took away a bit of the "rush"
for the local newspaper who had just done an interview at the start point -
the run starting very slowly with more that an hour break to fix the
tire... ;-)
But besides that a quiet day on the road and another private offer of
accommodation
at the finish in the small Georgetown. I am still amazed how
friendly people are in this area where invitations like that are a daily
event!! The local media-awareness of the run also means that many farmers
stop at the roadside to strike up a little conversation and often offer a
meal and a drink; which I have to decline, though, as I else way never
would get
to the finish... :-)
