The grand finale in May

Spring is by far the most active period, considering the indoor activities such as basketball and badminton are still ongoing, ski-touring is climaxing and the running preparation is well under way. In May I joined three running competitions - Tek Trojk (13km, 200m), Radenci half marathon (21km, 80m) and Tek na Krim (5km, 750m). Organized by the Slovenian mountain rescue organization, Tek na Krim starts almost in front of our house in Vrbljene and finishes on top of Krim - a legendary mountain already perpetuated during the course of this blog. Teams of two have to reach the top in the shortest time as well as complete a first aid challenge. I am proud to say we have monopolized the podium - see the photo above. At the same time, first place has slipped out of our (better say Damjan's) hands for the second year in a row. Even though he had a very strong finish, his brother Simon simply did not have his day. Leon and I finished third. Conveniently it was also my birthday, so with the other lads joining, we continued the celebration on my garden. A great finale of a very active spring. Family and relaxation are the main priority of the summer!
