Duathlon in Braunschweig on April 15th 2007

Nice weather and a great event. The duathlon in Braunschweig had both. 200 hundred starters running 3.4m/5,5km, biking 18.6m/30km and then running 3.4m/5,5km again.



Promptly at 11am, the pack was sent on their merry way. After finishing in 10th place over 6.2m/10km in Neumünster on Eater Saturday, I was pretty motivated. I was feeling good too and switched onto my bike in 20th place. Then the 7.5m/12km wind blew into my face so hard that I got in a really bad mood .



When I picked up my courage again, I realized that somehow I was all alone. Shit, I was lost. I backtracked almost a mile and looked for a turnoff. Back at the change off, I had about 1.2m/2km more on the clock than everyone else. The second run was pretty good though and I came in in 35th place .



Week after next, I'm off to the German Duathlon Championship in Stuttgart, my highlight of the spring. I hope I stay healthy until then.

Leif
