May 3, 2024,🏃🏻‍♀️🦆 Saaler Mühle - App Test für Wings for Life World Run

so, I went for a quick run to test the app for Sunday
(wingsforlifeworldrun.com/de ) 😉

So, put in earplugs, I usually run without them, but I wanted to know what people were saying 😉

I set the catcher car 🚗 in the training run so that it started 10 minutes after me.
