Manche Begegnungen haben schon etwas Schicksalhaftes. 2011 im Ziel von Paris-Brest-Paris wurde ich von einem Taiwaner namens A-Yuan angesprochen, ob wir nicht ein gemeinsames Zielfoto machen könnten. Nix dagegen. Ich selbst hatte keine Kamera dabei und habe das Bild auch erst über ein Jahr später erhalten. Aber der Kontakt war hergestellt und riss auch nie wieder ganz ab. 2013 lief ich bei LEL völlig übermüdet um Mitternacht in Edinburgh in die Kontrollstation und traf zwar nicht den Meister selbst, aber seine Ehefrau.
