Well, this is the story of 3 Pirates from Jülich, who drove for fun about 300k´s just to participate a Triathlon…

Last year, the Caipt`n had won the Tria-relay at the Herscheid marathon together with Zimbo…Chapeaux !!! This year everything should become something else…Sveny and myself were registered as a relay-team, just to make it a little bit harder for the others to win…

Sveny took the swim and the run part and I concentrated on the bike part, the course were a real mountain stage…The Caipt`n would take the run and Zimbo the bike part.

Everything went well for the Caipt`n…His swimmer was real fast in his relay team, he came 3rd out of the water and so Zimbo started 3rd to do the bike course… Sveny came out of the water with the main-field…then suddenly misfortune came over the Caipt`ns relay team…Zimbo just came out of the transition area, and somehow he were able to harm himself by jumping on his bike, so he had to give up after 5k`s Therewith, is was over with the Caipt`ns relay team, what a pity…300k´s of road trip and no competition for him…but the Caipt´n wouldn´t be the Caipt´n, if he just drove home…

As a matter of fact, he thought, than I ran with Sveny…and he did it…Consequence of the Herscheid marathon…Sveny and myself became 7th overall from 42 relay teams, only 4 were faster on the bike than me, in the mixed 2nd and in the overall time only 2 seconds slower than the Caipt´n time from last year. Altogether it was a real nice contest, even when it was real sux for the Caipt´n cause of the injury of Zimbo…

So, Herscheid, we´ll see us agian next again...We´ll be her for sure...

Damn it, this look real nice what Sveny is up to, Rock`n Roll…The Contest has just began…

Sveny and myself in the transition area, at the exchange of the time-chip and the race-number...TRANSITION-AREA, I gotta laugh...the transition area for the relay teams has been a single tree...Watch out… No bike-rack nor nothing...

After the exchange the catch up race started...I pushed me to the limit. Average pulse on the bike course above 90%…Weel, there were some nice mountains…

And than as aforementioned, so that the Caipt´n could move al least a little bit his legs...
The Caipt´n and Sveny on the run...

So, Herscheid, we´ll see us again next year and attack again…
