After I spent some years in the MTB-team of the Pirates, but I
decided myself to lay a liitle bit more energy in my triathlon-career…and
asked, if I´m allowed to join the Pirate-Triathlon-Team, I was.
And I had a really good start, because in my first half-marathon
I ran a 1:40:02h.
The first triathlon was cancelled, because of heavy rainfalls
and very low temperatures and so I decided to participate in a
Swim&Run contest in a well-heated pool and won it, like this it
could go on…

A few weeks later I participated on a middle-distance triathlon,
but with the upcoming warm temperatures my shape vanished and
I finished on the last places not usual for myself.
Now, my best part came….and this part was a cross-triathlon in
Schalkemehren and the olympic distance triathlon in Wörrstadt.
I Schalkemehren I fought really hard for the victory and in Wörrstadt,
I was surprised by winning it, because we started there in 5 diffferent
start-groups. Two-times winner of the overall ranking at a triathlon,
not bad. If you have told me that, before the season, I would
have laughed at you…
At the end I ran a half-marathon in Bensheim and beat my time
of march by two minutes. Season over – Doro satisfied. Like this
it can go on next season. Of course in the “ PIRATE TRIATHLON
TEAM” !!!
