Triathlon in Steinbeck

Last sunday I participate at the Short Man triathlon in Steinbeck, with the distances of 500m swim in the midland channel, two rounds on the bike with a nice ascent of 12% in each round, followed by a 5km run  aalongside the channel, altogether it was a distance of 27km. Typically it was very crowdy at the swimming, it was like a fight  to survive and after 10:02 I escaped the waters, got rid of my wet suit and got on my bike dressed with my Pirate-tri-suit. Shortly after the start of the bike, the 12%ascents came and after 49:07min I pushed my bike again in the transition area to get on the run course. I had to absolve one round alongside the channel with 5km and after 23:23min I reached the finish. I ended up on the 19th place overall of almost 100 starters and 7th in my age-group 45+. Well, I was 1:30min faster than in 2010 and last year I finished 1st in my age-group.     Next week on Saturday I´ll participate at the triathlon in Laggenbeck and after it I´ll travel with my MTB for 14 days to the Alps.
