from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dagmar Rabensteiner (born June 15, 1963 in Innsbruck ) is a former Austrian long-distance runner .

As a primary school student, she walked the seven-kilometer route from Sadrach, a district of Innsbruck, to the school in the city center every day. As a high school student she went on climbing tours and ski tours and later with her husband and her little son traveling and trekking tours for several weeks through jungle areas in Indonesia or into the highlands of Kashmir to the foot of Mount Everest . She didn't start running until she was 27.

At the age of 30, the doctor of medicine ran her first marathon in 3:28 hours. After recognizing her talent for this sport, she improved continuously and in 1997 finished sixth in the Florence Marathon with 2:55:19 h for the first time under three hours.

A competitive sports training led to further increases. In 1999 she was sixth in the Vienna City Marathon in 2:49:33 h and won the Graz Marathon in 2:41:46 h. In 2000, she was Austrian marathon champion in 2:39:08 h, finishing sixth overall in the Vienna City Marathon, won the half-marathon competition in the Wachau Marathon and then broke the almost 17 years as third in the Amsterdam Marathon with 2:35:42 h old national record of Carina Lilge-Leutner . A week later she became the Austrian half marathon champion in Salzburg .

She set her record as third in the Vienna City Marathon 2002 in 2:35:42 h to the exact second, undercutting the limit for the marathon of the European Athletics Championships in Munich , where she finished 15th.

In 2003 she ran her third national marathon record as tenth of the Berlin Marathon with 2:34:35 h. However , she missed qualifying for the 2004 Olympic Games by 1:35 minutes, and so she withdrew from high-performance sport after this race. However, she still runs up to 150 kilometers per week and achieves sporting successes such as victory on the half marathon route of the Regensburg Marathon in 2004 or 14th place (second in the 40-49 age group) in the Comrades Marathon 2005 over 89 km.

Dagmar Rabensteiner has been married to the lawyer and entrepreneur Peter Rabensteiner since 1983, with whom she has a son who was born in the same year. She is a specialist in internal medicine and sports doctor , runs a practice in Vienna and was the official race doctor at the Vienna City Marathon and the Austrian Women's Run from 2004 to 2008 .
