Triathlon

In our company they where loooking for some participants for the Company triathlon gesucht. i.e. a team has three athletes with at least one women and the race goes over the olympic distance (1.5 km swimming, 40 km biking and 10 km running).

As the whole stands under the motto of fun I applied for the running part, but as too many wanted doing the run I switched to the bike.

Finally we had 7 teams together.

At the transition from our swimmer I had some problems as I couldn’t find her and the had to call me over the loudspeakers.

But then finally the race started – the section has only one difficulty, the “Heart Break Hill”, which have to be crested three times. On the way up I wasn’t unhappy to have “only” a mountainbike, but on the way down all the racebikes passed me merciless (which shouldn’t mean that I was faster on the way up), but with the much higher rolling friction I couldn’t hold the push as easy as the others.

At all everything moved quite good and after 1:39.51 I could give the chip to our runner.
