Lukas Kaufmann trotzt Regen und Kälte – Platz 44 beim ÖTZTALER Radmarathon
Was die Salzkammergut Trophy auf dem Mountainbike ist, ist der Ötztaler Radmarathon am Rennrad – das mit Abstand größte Event in Österreich und auch bekannt in der ganzen Welt der Radsportler.. So waren auch bei der 40. Auflage dieser Traditionsveranstaltung wieder über 4000 Teilnehmer aus 32 Nationen angemeldet..
Regen, Kälte und oben auf den Bergen möglicherweise sogar Schnee – das stand tagelang im Wetterbericht und wurde vom Veranstalter auch so kommuniziert.. Deshalb standen auch „nur“ etwas mehr als 2700 SportlerInnen am Start als es gestern um 06:30 Uhr los ging.. Die Strecke beim ÖTZTALER hatte heuer 238 Kilometer und 5500 Höhenmeter und war aufgrund von einem Steinschlag um 11 Km und 250 Hm länger als in den Jahren zuvor..
Kühtai – Brenner – Jaufenpass – Timmelsjoch → so lauten die 4 Berge die es zu bezwingen gibt..
Gleich am ersten Anstieg merkte ich, dass sich meine Beine nach dem Race Around Austria noch nicht ganz so drehen, wie es sein sollte.. Umso mehr freut es mich, dass ich mich bis zum Schluss gut quälen konnte und war überglücklich als ich nach 8 Stunden und 9 Minuten als 44. über die Ziellinie fahren konnte!!
Laut meinem GARMIN Radcomputer lag meine Maximalgeschwindigkeit bei 104 Km/h – alle Daten (Herzfrequenz, Watt, Geschwindigkeit,..) vom Rennen gibt`s auf meinem STRAVA-Account zum Ansehen..
Auf seiner Homepage gibt`s aktuelle Zeitungberichte, den Beitrag auf der VAUDE Experience Seite und einen Bericht über die e-Bike-Touren im Salzkammergut powered by BOSCH eBike Systems zum Nachlesen.. 🙂

The Story
OK, it’s the most famous glacier in the world. You can’t expect solitude here; every fifteen minutes a busload of tourists is released in the direction of the viewing platforms. And yet the sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia with its 4-km wide and 60 m high escarpment has something touching, something incomprehensible about it. It is a natural spectacle that takes your breath away and that instinctively describes the relationship between man and nature. Humility and tranquil joy of existence seizes every viewer.
The Photographer
Ralf Gantzhorn was born in 1964, holds a M.S. in Geology – and has even worked as a geologist (as an independent consultant in the contamination sector). He has been climbing since 1983 and working as a photographer since 1985. As a northern German, he is always torn between the far too distant mountains and the fresh sea air, but he’s found a compromise in Scandinavia, Scotland and Patagonia (where he has now spent over three years). He enjoys organizing trips in areas where unfamiliar vistas – which haven’t already been photographed 1000 times – lure from every corner. He often experiences his images as far too static, but then is pleased with the abundance of triangles in the structure and the fantastic light.

The picture was taken on the summit of Marmolada after an ascent of the Vinatzer/Messner on the south wall. We didn’t reach the summit until 10:00 p.m. so we bivouacke (planned) there. We woke up to this riot of color …
