In the year that would see the 275th anniversary of the death of Johann Sebastian Bach's, we would be heading to Berlin for the half marathon.

"One can profit there much more than in any other place."

Would J.S. Bach's quote about Berlin ring true for us also, in that it would be a productive trip for us? It had the potential to be our fastest Super Half race yet with an incredibly flat course. Familiarity of the city would also help me be tour guide for us over this long weekend.
