made on Friday morning, shortly before 6 my brother Phil and I are on the distant upper Allgäu. For me, middle distance on Saturday, the second of the year was on the program. After a good 6 hour drive we arrived at our hotel and headed to the check-in on to us the route to watch a little. During shutdown of the line I then realized pretty quickly that it would probably be not exactly the easiest race. This was by far the hardest bike course I have ever seen. Such mountains are in the area so not at all with us. But well, after we had left the track, we went again briefly in ice-cold Alpsee great, and then to the pasta party. After a short night, we went even really got going. Around 8:32, exactly 32 minutes left for the women start going on it. The water was not overnight become warmer, so I initially had some problems to be really warm. Up to the first buoy I could sell but with a three-man lead group something of the field. From the buoy I took over the lead, so that I was able to get the first out of the water. Even a cool feeling to rise at such a big event as the first out of the water. On the bike I could keep my leadership will also very long. Again, it was very motivating when the camera moves next to a motorcycle and you will be photographed constantly. Only at km 60 I was overtaken by the eventual winner, an athlete from the Netherlands. At this point I noticed already that I had perhaps a bit too much invested in the tough bike course. But at Calvary with the Tour de France-like alley viewers could simply not go to the full. After switching to running shoes it was then initially quite well. Still lying at position two, I mastered the first of two 10km laps. But then came the Einbruch.Ich again had to struggle with the stomach and I just went bad. I think I have whole sections simply not perceived, so I walked in the tunnel. But somehow I managed it but then I bite through the goal. Unfortunately I had by then lost some places, so I ran to the finish as the 8th man. I stayed there then good first five minutes motionless on the ground. I had just given everything. In the end I am very satisfied with my result. I have my own target reached Top 10 and finishing at the 9th Place overall (total intake women and men) I even got a little prize money ab.In the age group jumped even a 3rd Place out of it. findings is presented here.
is hindsight to see that my swimming, and above all, the wheel shape are good and I've trained for it. " When running I lack a lot of foundation that I have neglected in favor of speed training. The balancing act between sprint and middle distance turns out to be not so easy Let's see what I'm up to the next middle distance in Cologne is still working on my form. Now, in any case, once the recovery is in the foreground.
