Ich gehe zur Snake Pit in der dritten Kurve. Ein langer Weg. Am Pit angekommen ziehe ich den VIP-Karte-Joker. Mein B\u00e4ndchen gew\u00e4hrt mir Zugang zu einer erh\u00f6hten Plattform mit eigener Bar. So lasse ich mir das gefallen. Die Musik ist EDM, was f\u00fcr die jungend Kids, die vermutlich auch Dubstep m\u00f6gen; nichts f\u00fcr mich. Egal. Partytime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dann wird es Zeit f\u00fcr das Rennen. Ich gehe zur\u00fcck zu meinem Sitzplatz; Haupttribune, mittig der Start-Zielgrades und Blick in die Boxengasse. Die Fahrer werden in Reihenfolge der Startaufstellung die Gerade entlang gefahren und vom Stadionsprecher vorgestellt. Dann marschieren Abordnungen der verschiedenen Teilstreitkr\u00e4fte auf. Da ist er wieder, der alles durchdringende, amerikanische Patriotismus. Es folgen <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/America_the_Beautiful\">America the Beautiful<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/God_Bless_America\">God Bless America<\/a> und die <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Star-Spangled_Banner\">Nationalhyme<\/a>. Das volle Programm. Auf die Sekunde genau erfolgt der \u00dcberfl\u00fcg von f\u00fcnf <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lockheed_Martin_F-35\">F-35<\/a> Kampfflugzeugen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Der Patriotismus ist vorbei, und der Start des <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Indianapolis_500\">Indy 500<\/a> steht umittelbar bevor. Die Aufw\u00e4rmrunde beginnt. Und dann geht es los. Fliegender Start. Wow. Die sind schnell. Das ist eine andere Liga als die 24h N\u00fcrnburgring. 500 Meilen (805km) und das Rennen ist in weniger als drei Stunden vorbei.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Runde um Runde ballern die Autos vorbei. Bei weit \u00fcber 350 km\/h habe ich keine Chance, ein brauchbares Foto zu schie\u00dfen. Daf\u00fcr braucht es eine Profiausr\u00fcstung mit viel Glas (gro\u00dfem Objektiv).<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27810&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

Bis zur Halbzeit passiert nichts Spannendes. Ein Wagen ist in der Pitlane ausgebrochen, in die Wand gekracht und ausgefallen. In Runde 91 gab es eine gelbe Flagge. Nix Wildes. Und jetzt ist schon Halbzeit. 400 km zur\u00fcckgelegt und ich bin erst beim zweiten Bier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Die Ereignisse stapeln sich ab Runde 184 (16 vor der Zielflagge). Man merkt, dass nach 2,5 Stunden Rennzeit, die Konzentration der Fahrer sinkt und auch das Material an die Grenzen kommt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Runde 184 erwischt es <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Felix_Rosenqvist\">Rosenqvist<\/a> und <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kyle_Kirkwood\">Kirkwood<\/a>. Ein Reifen wird abgerissen, fliegt \u00fcber die Trib\u00fcnen und landet im Parkplatzbereich. Wow. Die gr\u00fcne Flagge in Runde 193 m\u00fcndest fast sofort in einer zweiten roten Flagge. Dieses Mal hat es mehrere Fahrzeuge erwischt. 4 Runden vor dem Rennende endlich wieder gr\u00fcne Flagge. Hier ist Chaos. In der vorletzten Runde kollideren erneut f\u00fcnf Fahrzeuge. Die dritte rote Flagge. Die Rennleitung entscheidet, dass die letzte Runde (wei\u00dfe Flagge) auch die gr\u00fcne Flagge bekommt. Noch einmal 2,5 Meilen vollpower.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Josef_Newgarden\">Josef Newgarden<\/a> gewinnt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Das Rennen ist vorbei. Es folgen Siegerehrung, ein Glas Buttermilch, Kissing the Bricks die Ehrenrunde. OK, das muss ich vielleicht erkl\u00e4ren: Der Sieger trinkt medienwirksam ein Glas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com\/history\/where-tradition-never-stops\/milk\">Buttermilch<\/a>. Louis Meyer, Sieger von 1933, verlangte nach seinem Sieg ein Glas Buttermilch. Bei seim zweiten Sieg bekam er ein gro\u00dfes Glas Buttermilch und eine Tradition wurde gegr\u00fcndet.\u00a0 Heute ist das Motto &#8222;Winner drink milk&#8220;.

Die Start-Ziel-Linie besteht aus Pflastersteinen. Es ist ein Yard der alten Rennstrecke von 1909. Jeder Sieger wird hier mit Namen vereweigt. Jeder Sieger k\u00fcsst die Steinreihe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jetzt geht auf den R\u00fcckweg. Was ich nicht bedacht habe: knapp 330.000 Zuschauer wollen jetzt nach Hause. Verkehrschaos. Alle Stra\u00dfen um die Rennstrecke sind Einbahnstra\u00dfen. Das macht die Bestellung eines ubers unm\u00f6glich. Wartezeit \u00fcber 90 Minuten, da keiner anfahren kann. Der Preis liegt bei $95. Angebot und Nachfrage. Verdammter Kapitalismus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Plan B: Fu\u00dfmarsch. 5 Meilen. Das dauert mindestens zwei Stunden,\u00a0 ist aber schneller als auf den uber zu warten. Und billiger. Los gehts. Eigentlich ist es nur N Lynhurst Dr. entlang, immer geradeaus. Das wird langweilig. Kurz vor dem Eagle Creek ist ein Liquor Store.\u00a0 Die Cops haben gerade was anderes zu tun, also Open Container.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Auf halber Strecke zum Hotel kreuze ich Bahngleise. Dahinter \u00e4ndert sich die Nachbarschaft in &#8222;Sollte ich Wei\u00dfbrot wirklich hier sein?&#8220; Ich treffe auf ein zwei Fans, die sich ebenfalls f\u00fcr den Fu\u00dfmarsch zum Wyndham entschieden haben.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Es zieht sich und zieht sich &#8230; W Washington St, Bahngleise, S Minnesota St. Einer der beiden schw\u00e4chelt und sieht nicht gut aus. Zum Gl\u00fcck habe ich im Liquor Store auch Dr. Pepper gekauft. Er scheint unterzuckert oder dehydriert oder beides.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27810&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px; height: 541px;\"><div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 364px; height: 545px;\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/?attachment_id=29889\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29889\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-10.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2240,3360\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;PENTAX K-3&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1685232000&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;42.5&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20230528-Indy500-Race-10\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-10-200x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-10-683x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-10.jpg\" width=\"360\" height=\"541\" align=\"left\" title=\"20230528-Indy500-Race-10\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gallery-group images-2\" style=\"width: 441px; height: 545px;\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/?attachment_id=29890\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29890\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-11.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3360,2240\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;PENTAX K-3&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1685232000&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;38.13&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20230528-Indy500-Race-11\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-11-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-11-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-11.jpg\" width=\"437\" height=\"291\" align=\"left\" title=\"20230528-Indy500-Race-11\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/?attachment_id=29891\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29891\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-12.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3360,1890\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;PENTAX K-3&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1685232000&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;25.63&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20230528-Indy500-Race-12\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-12-300x169.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-12-1024x576.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-12.jpg\" width=\"437\" height=\"246\" align=\"left\" title=\"20230528-Indy500-Race-12\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Noch 1,2 Meilen, wenn wir durch das Industriegebiet abk\u00fcrzen.

I head for the snake pit on the third bend. It&#8217;s a long way. Arriving at the pit, I pull the VIP card joker. My wristband gives me access to a raised platform with its own bar. That&#8217;s how I like it. The music is EDM, something for the young kids who probably also like dubstep; nothing for me. No matter. Party time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then it&#8217;s time for the race. I go back to my seat; main grandstand, in the middle of the start-finish line and view of the pit lane. The drivers are driven down the straight in the order of the starting grid and introduced by the stadium announcer. Then delegations from the various branches of the armed forces march up. There it is again, the all-pervading American patriotism. This is followed by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/America_the_Beautiful\">America the Beautiful<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/God_Bless_America\">God Bless America<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Star-Spangled_Banner\">national anthem<\/a>. The full program. Five <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II\">F-35<\/a> fighter planes fly over at exactly the right moment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Patriotism is over and the start of the <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Indianapolis_500\">Indy 500<\/a> is imminent. The warm-up lap begins. And then it&#8217;s off. Flying start. Wow. They are fast. This is in a different league to the 24h N\u00fcrnburgring. 500 miles (805km) and the race is over in less than three hours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lap after lap, the cars shoot past. At well over 350 km\/h, I have no chance of taking a decent photo. You need professional equipment with lots of glass (large lens) for that.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27810&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

Nothing exciting happens until half-time. A car broke out in the pitlane, crashed into the wall and crashed out. There was a yellow flag on lap 91. Nothing wild. And now it&#8217;s already half time. I&#8217;ve covered 400 km and I&#8217;m only on my second beer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The events pile up from lap 184 (16 before the chequered flag). You can tell that after 2.5 hours of racing, the drivers&#8216; concentration is waning and the equipment is reaching its limits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On lap 184, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Felix_Rosenqvist\">Rosenqvist<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kyle_Kirkwood\">Kirkwood<\/a> are hit. A tire is torn off, flies over the grandstands and lands in the parking lot area. Wow. The green flag on lap 193 leads almost immediately to a second red flag. This time it hit several cars. Finally, the green flag again 4 laps before the end of the race. Chaos here. On the penultimate lap, five cars collide again. The third red flag. Race control decides that the last lap (white flag) will also get the green flag. Another 2.5 miles of full power. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Josef_Newgarden\">Josef Newgarden<\/a> wins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The race is over. The award ceremony, a glass of buttermilk, kissing the bricks and the lap of honor follow. OK, maybe I need to explain that: The winner drinks a glass of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com\/history\/where-tradition-never-stops\/milk\">buttermilk<\/a>. Louis Meyer, winner in 1933, asked for a glass of buttermilk after his victory. When he won a second time, he was given a large glass of buttermilk and a tradition was born. Today the motto is \u201cWinner drink milk\u201d. Not wrong at all.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27810&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

Actually, it&#8217;s just N Lynhurst Dr., straight ahead. That gets boring. There&#8217;s a liquor store just before Eagle Creek. The cops have something else to do right now, so open container.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Halfway to the hotel, I cross railroad tracks. Behind it, the neighborhood changes to \u201cShould I really be here white bread?\u201d I meet two fans who have also decided to walk to the Wyndham.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It drags and drags &#8230; W Washington St, railroad tracks, S Minnesota St. One of them is weakening and not looking good. Luckily, I also bought Dr. Pepper at the Liquor Store. He seems hypoglycemic or dehydrated or both.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27810&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px; height: 541px;\"><div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 364px; height: 545px;\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/?attachment_id=29889\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29889\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-10.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2240,3360\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;PENTAX K-3&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1685232000&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;42.5&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20230528-Indy500-Race-10\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-10-200x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-10-683x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-10.jpg\" width=\"360\" height=\"541\" align=\"left\" title=\"20230528-Indy500-Race-10\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gallery-group images-2\" style=\"width: 441px; height: 545px;\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/?attachment_id=29890\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29890\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-11.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3360,2240\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;PENTAX K-3&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1685232000&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;38.13&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20230528-Indy500-Race-11\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-11-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-11-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-11.jpg\" width=\"437\" height=\"291\" align=\"left\" title=\"20230528-Indy500-Race-11\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/?attachment_id=29891\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29891\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-12.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3360,1890\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;PENTAX K-3&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1685232000&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;25.63&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20230528-Indy500-Race-12\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-12-300x169.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-12-1024x576.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seidenpriester.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/20230528-Indy500-Race-12.jpg\" width=\"437\" height=\"246\" align=\"left\" title=\"20230528-Indy500-Race-12\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another 1.2 miles when we cut through the industrial area. Right, then left and straight on. I start to miss the bends. Finally, the hotel. I just want to take a shower. I say goodbye to the two of them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After the shower, I plan my departure for tomorrow. The airport shuttles are fully booked. 5:00 or 5:45 a.m. My flight leaves at 7 a.m. and I don&#8217;t have to check any luggage. But a voice tells me \u201c5 o&#8217;clock\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And so the evening is short. No problem, after the race, the running around, the party and the walk, I have no doubt that I&#8217;ll fall asleep as soon as I see the bed.
