Yesterday was the 3rd Volcano Country Triathlon in Riegersburg instead. To cope with were the distances, 750m swimming, 26km cycling (which were realtiv selective) and finally to run 5km, each 60 meters per 2.5 km circuit. Also present were, among other things Domnik Norbert, Christoph Lorber, Mark Ressler, and Thomas Metzner and another 150 starters.
I went with a very good feeling in the race. The starting point was at 10:30 in the recreation center Riegersburg. The 1st 2.5 laps I swam at relatively fast and assured me that the leadership that I up to the 1 Transition zone were not from. Unfortunately, I managed not at all and so overtook me Lorber and Ressler of the bill. After about 5km overtook me again Lorber and gave chase to Ressler. The new time trial bike perfectly rolled across the street. was on the last third of the bike nor the rate deal, but if it is on one side goes up, it goes down again on the other. Through the downpour, which left during cycling, were the driving conditions downhill very badly and my driving skills with the new bike time on wet, slippery corners, not particularly practiced. So I kept still clearly the second Place, but lost valuable time and the projection of Ressler grew up in the transition zone to about 1 minute. When running, I blew the attack, but declined the 1st Round after round, I did not know, at relatively subdued. The increase was enormous and of course it was too steep steep reltiv downhill again. Speed skating was really difficult because there where it was flat, meadow trails were. In the 2 Lap I pushed a little further and came up a gear ran up to 34 seconds Ressler. As an overall second placed, I was very pleased and erleitert 1:09,24 after the finish.
With the best swimming and running time, the 3rd best bike split, I finished my first satisfied Triathlon of the 2010 season. In criticism
is just my lousy exchange capacity (neoprene is cut off and the bill is practiced in his sleep!)
My form is confirmed and will be refined in the coming weeks.
The next event is the triathlon in Kirchbichl on 5 June on the Olympic distance in the program.
Thank you especially to my brother Mark, who acted once again as a super administrator. Your
