Last Sunday, I participated in a triathlon in Steinbeck. About 100 other athletes joined me for the sprint distance: 0.3m/0.5km swim, 16.7m/27km bike, 3.1m/5km run. The swim took me 11min and I jumped on my bike. Two 8.3m/13,5km laps with a 0.6/1km long ascent with a 12% incline each were the task at hand. After 49min and finishing with the 12th best bike time, it was time for the last 3.1m/5km along the Mittelland Canal that we had swum in earlier.

I'm still smiling.

The water temperature was okay. Hitting and kicking was only allowed under the surface.

I feel at home on my bike.

Pink makes you look pasty.

Made it.....

I ended up in 19th place overall and 8th in my age division (AK 40).......
