Did I Say That the Queens-Day is the best day for people to come to the Netherlands ? YES !! It's the best party in the world and the city of Amsterdam is the place to be on that day. This year a fool tried to change that with his car in the city of Apeldoorn. My thoughts go out to the family and friends of the 6 people who got killed and all those people who are in hospitals or at home hurt. The place where the fool hit all those people is wellknown to me . Last time I was there was during the Marathon of Apeldoorn in february...
After the 12th of February when I was in Antwerp (Belgium) I decided I wanted to see Tina Turner again so I check here tour. She did some concerts in the Netherlands but the data did not match my free time so I bought a ticket for the concert on the 30th of April in Antwerp , Belgium. Due to the disaster in the Netherlands my thoughts were not at the concert. Tina and her band did a fantastic job but sorry to say my mind was somewhere else. Here song ""Steamy Windows " I recored but after that I did not have the strenght anymore and besides that my batteries were empty - I totally forgot to upload them...
On the 1st of May I went by train to Knokke (Belgium) to run the 10k of Knokke. Didn't really knew what to expect. The last months I only did long slow distance and now I wanted to run a fast 10k. Well it went okay ... My time was 54minutes 25secondes. Not my fastest time (44min 45sec) but I happy to be back in business again ;-) Data of the race can be found HERE .
On saturday I went to Leiden (Netherlands) to join the running day organised by the Ropa Run Team "We Run Together" . The Ropa Run is World's Largest Relay Run and every year thousends of people run for the good cause. In the past they ran from ROtterdam to PAris but since a few years they are running from Paris (France) to Rotterdam (Netherlands). On the running day I followed some clinics. Nice was Ultra Running by Ida Verduin, okay was Running with Heart-Monitor by Henk van Driel and I really liked the clinic by former World Athlete Simon Vroemen ; always nice to see him !
