Kilometre 40: So near - so far!

Vienna, Austria

Vienna City Marathon 2006, one of the last drinking stations before the goal. Only a bit more than 2 kilometres to go from there, but for the runners, this seems to be an extremely long distance at that time. What's more, most of the remaining distance is slightly uphill - just a little bit, you would not even notice it when walking there under normal conditions, but after 40 kilometres you do! Did not participate in the VCM in the past two years, but I consider starting again next year, as my wife starts to complain about my weight (spending too much time in front of the computer recently)...

Cool capture. You better get going if your wife says so, though.

Excellent bit of photojournalism Eckhart. Like the POV and color sat. Vote.

Very cool image, very good point of view, and good use of the environment.

Great pov Eckhart, ive run several marathons myself and even broke the 3hr barrier in 98. Cool shot, these drinks stations are dangerous. Youll have to train with the camera:-)

Brilliant PoV and colour... -- phew... -- ages since I did one of these... (and probably, never again...)!

Excellent perspective and commentary. Can't believe seeing the mess of drinking cups. Way to go, you can do it!!!

Cool shot and perspective. Looks like beautiful weather in Vienna at the moment.

Excellent.

My personal experience is that 40 is where it starts to get better. My worst part is around 35. Nice perspective and colors!
