I had the last few years so much about the race is on Schliersee that this year I also umbedingt even want to be there. At least now I know why this Race as one of the hardest is in Germany. When we on the morning of race day to 14 ° C cold water (the temperature Artur residents appreciated more at 12 ° C) increased realized probably everyone that there would be no walk in the day. The water was so klat that I got like a toothache. To a reasonable rhythm and could not think until the last 500m I had so slowly the feeling that what I did there had anything to do with swimming. After a quick change, I found myself happily back in a wheel group. Somehow in the group wanted to make any really pace and so the cycling was very good and it was quite loose, despite the challenging circuit. I always had to be careful that I am not too much expended in the pace of work, as my leisurely pace but a bit got on my nerves. At the end of the bike ride we went up on the Spitzingsattel. The increase will cost but a few grains, I did my best but I'm still a little to spare for racing. The running was then the absolute nightmare. In cycling, I was a little surprised that it really was not that cold. Here, while walking the beat cold but true. And to this line! If you can call the track at all allowed. First it was only 2km steep downhill. Then it was just about rock. The absolute hell was then, however, a cow pasture, which twice crosses be had. The soil was deep and the rest of me completely now and then you had to avoid even the cows. Completely exhausted and trembling with cold, I came to the finish. After serving a pancake but then I felt better pretty quickly.
All in all, I am quite happy with the race. Two weeks after a good middle distance in Cologne and one week after the sprint in Ratingen, my legs were good but not yet quite so fit and the cold has also added greatly to me, but I got bitten by good. My goal was not to be the last I reached the 77.Platz in the elite field and a 65.Platz in the DM score. In the evening, then traditionally the last triathlon race the season in a club celebrated on Spitzingsee. Just for this party, the long journey worthwhile. images
Now it is time a week off on the plan before I will motivate me again to take training to the end of October the Frankfurt Marathon in attack.
