On May 16th I ran the 400m at the 39th Ludwig Jall Sportfest in the Dante Stadium in Munich. This year the meet was also the Bavarian Para Athletics Championship. Last year I ran the same race in 70.6 seconds (Read more), so the goal was to go faster.
This time I ran with Simon Pieper, the same guide as in Vienna last summer. We had a good warmup and did a few stride progressions to find the pace. The plan was the same as in Vienna: quick out of the blocks, top speed early, then long strides until the end.
The start was good and we held the pace. Time was 67.52 seconds. A new personal best, 0.67 seconds faster than my 68.19s from the German Indoor Championship in February.
