My tribute to Detroit was successful - I did the Detroit FreePress Marathon in 4:24:49h!



It was a cold (32 Fahrenheit/ 0 Celsius at the Start at 7:15 in the morning) day - but bright sunshine a lots of support from great friends!
Attached a few pictures - still smiling at 13 miles (Half the Distance - piece of cake!) - and getting tired at mile 26 ;-) Lorie and all the other "fans" pushed me to the edge! Thank you.
A very special thank you to Darrel - he ran the last 3 miles with me and really gave me outstanding support (to ignore my cramps and finish that "monster")
Special Congrats to Barb - first time Marathoner and qualified for Boston!
So sehen Sieger aus- Lorie M. (she did a great Half Marathon!) und ich vor der Streckenkarte!
....and the youngest member of the Team Kaufer had fun too...testing how a bib feels!
