Funny Things To Put On A New Home Card

Small successes

I knew that even a stressful summer in the university with many important Exams coming up, I decided to do another in July, a few minor tournaments in Ba-Wue. The first competition was at 29.6 in Freiburg-land water. Among many women as was also Ricarda Lisk, national team and Olympic participant. Therefore, my goal was clear: as much as possible when swimming stay tuned and then we'll see.
The plan was good and I was only seconds behind Ricardo from the water. In cycling, I was able to keep up with the fast, only when running it was clearly a better league. So I came as a 2nd the finish.

The second race I wanted to make was the Welzheimer and was held on 1 July. Already at the start point and pick up later when checking the wheel, I was welcomed as a favorite for the overall victory. I noticed when reading the start list of course that I could have a good chance, certainly one is of course never. So I did not want to knock big promises and focused as ever on my preparations. When I had but travel across the swimming a pretty big lead, it was for the speaker, as I heard upon entering the transition area is already clear who should win. For me not quite so clear, I was still all on the hard, hilly bike course. When I as still leading and running came, I knew I only had to run a term reasonably well to win. It worked then and I came with about 5 minutes head start to the finish.
