On Saturday 30 April the national German championships were held in Frankfurt (GER) with a series of side competitions.
35km men
Only seven men and women I know are present at the departure (5 men and women).
Despite the small number of participants, the race had a good level in terms of results.
The victory went to Christopher Linke (GER) with a mark of 2:29:58.
This performance represents for the 33-year-old German athlete the best performance ever in Germany by lowering the time that had been set back in 1995 in Fougères in France by his current coach Ronald Weigel (2:30:52).
However, it should be noted that with this result Linke is currently the 10th athlete to have finished a 35km under the time of 2:30:00 in the season.
Second place to Carl Dohmann (GER) in 2:30:59
Third place went to Karl Junghannß in 2:31:37
The vice Olympic champion of the 50km, Jonathan Hilbert, on the other hand, finished only fourth in 2:34:36, once again proving that the 35km will be a race that compared to those who previously specialized in the 20km and those who instead he specialized in the 50km will certainly favor the former.
35km women
The title of German Champion was held by Emilia Lehmeyer (GER) in 3:04:24, an athlete who is recovering after a long period of absence due to injury.
Second place to Katrin Schusters (GER) in 3:15:00.
