League and European Cup on Schliersee



Our first assignment for our team this year's Bundesliga TV Lemgo should be at 21.06. Alpine Triathlon at Hexal held at Schliersee. The second was held in the Bundesliga was also a European Cup and had thus close to a strong women's field. Also known to be demanding route posed a challenge that we presented but you.
We jumped on Saturday afternoon with about 50 other women in the fresh Schliersee. After 1.5 km swim, we came just after the five-strong leading group from the water and fought us over the many mountains and the last 5 km long climb up to the Spitzingsee. Top of the trellis Spitzingsattel prevailed with the audience almost Tour de France atmosphere. As expected We then had to wheel power for good a few places make while running and came out at the end on position 24 and 26 in the European Cup race to the finish.

Wheel Of Timemount And Blade

Xterra experience

After our first big highlight of the season, the race covered 70.3 in St. Pölten, were behind us, we will we have to break up the "normal" training routine a little and set us the challenge of Xterra. Instead we have chosen a small race in Sardinia in the mountain village Villacidro. So we flew so on 5 June to Cagliari. There we were picked up by a nice Italian family and we could for a few days the entire program of Italian family life noticed first hand. The weather had initially something to be desired. Then there was that we wanted to look at the route of course and we actually on Felix words: "Yes, the route is feasible, which is exactly right for you!" Have left. When we got to the Xterra star Nicolas Lebrun visited the track and they are anything but "feasible" was released, we got cold feet. As the weather on race day was beautiful but then, blue skies and hot temperatures were to follow all the doubts and we were confident at the start.
Swimming posed no further problems, even if the first failed start something and decided to athletes more or less on your own started. In cycling, we went to a stark passage over stones and sand rivers and a fairly steep hill. At the top you had to down approximately 5 m vertically. How? that was an over leave themselves. After Mignon uphill a little faster than I was, I was then but steep in the slope and down the mountain more courage, we were soon traveling together and decided the final run part that after a 1km flat piece just 1km vertically up and on the other side 1km down again (to run 3 times) to complete jointly and to have fun. The
then we managed pretty well and we were once again a very popular photo object. In the end it turned out so, that we were not that bad and even lay in the Preisraengen. Thus, this trip to Sardinia more than paid off for us.
