Zweiter Krampuslauf: Hindernisse meistern – Meine Erfahrungen und Tipps!

Hey Leute! Let's talk Krampusläufe – specifically, those killer obstacles you encounter in your second Krampuslauf! My first one? Let's just say I wasn't exactly prepared. I thought, "Oh, it'll be like a fun jog, maybe a little chilly." Spoiler alert: I was SO wrong. I ended up looking like I'd wrestled a bear (and lost).

My Epic Fail (and what I learned)

Remember that infamous mud pit at the last Krampuslauf? Yeah, that was me – face-planted, shoes filled with mud, dignity completely lost. It was brutal! But honestly? That spectacular fail taught me more than any training session ever could. I learned the importance of proper footwear – seriously, invest in some decent waterproof boots!

And the hay bales? Those sneaky things almost tripped me up, even after seeing them from afar. Lesson learned: Proper pacing is key. Don't start out like a rocket, you need your energy! You gotta pace yourself to get through those obstacles.

The organizers really upped the ante for the second year. This time, there was everything from Klettergerüste, that tested your upper-body strength. And this one, was a real test. The Holzbalken that you had to jump over. I almost didn’t make it! Then there was this seriously steep Erdhügel – I practically slid down on my butt.

Training for Success: My Actionable Tips

So, what's a Krampuslauf rookie (like I once was) to do? Here's my advice, based on hard-won experience and a few minor injuries:

• Practice makes perfect: Seriously, practice those jumping and climbing moves. Find some hay bales, a small hill, anything to simulate the obstacles.
• Gear up: Invest in waterproof and sturdy shoes with good ankle support. Layers are your best friend – you’ll want to remove items quickly and easily when you get overheated.
• Train smart: Include different forms of training, such as strength training, running and cardio. And it's not just about legs, your arms, core and upper body are crucial for many obstacles.
• Know your route: If possible, check the planned route in advance. That way, you can prepare accordingly for the type of obstacles you’ll face.
• Stay hydrated: This seems obvious but it’s so important! Bring water with you – even a small amount can make a big difference, and maybe an energy bar or two to keep your glucose levels high!
• Don't be a hero: If an obstacle seems too challenging, there is no shame in taking a different route. There is always the option of going around an obstacle, or even skipping some all together.

Beyond the Physical: Mental Strength Matters Too!

The mental game is huge. Krampusläufe aren't just physical; they're mental endurance tests too. That feeling of accomplishment after conquering a challenging obstacle? It's incredible. But don't forget to celebrate the small wins.

So, my friends, prepare yourselves! The Zweiter Krampuslauf is no joke. But with preparation, a little luck, and maybe a dash of craziness, you can tackle those obstacles like a pro. And remember, even if you fall flat on your face (like I did), you'll have a great story to tell afterwards! Good luck and have fun! Let me know in the comments how your Zweiter Krampuslauf went!
