Berlin Half-Marathon

On Sunday, April 1st, I participated in the Berlin half-marathon. It was a beautiful day, perfect for serious running. So I and about 23.000 others started for a circuit along some of the best spots in Berlin. We started in the street Unter den Linden, passed the Brandenburger Tor, then the Charlottenburg palace and returned along the Kurfürstendamm and the Potsdamer Platz. The finish line was just in front of the Berliner Dom.
Even though I didn't practiced very well I was faster than in San Francisco and pretty happy with my performance. But to tell the truth: the best thing about running is the hot shower afterwards...
