Middle distance triathlon in Hannover on the 5th of june 2011

Finally it was time for me to participate at my very first triathlon of the season 2011. My preparation for this triathlon were only moderate, maybe of the lack of time or of the birth of my daughter Finja , but made up of good cheer, I wanted to compete on the distances of 2km swim, 90km bike and 21,1km of run. This weeken I was accompanied by my sister Sirka and of course by Maike and Finja. This year my wet-suits fits a little bit better than kast year, but not everything was in its right place… After 24:10min I escaped the waters, really fast you think, but the swim course was only 1,8km long. While I crucified myself on the 90km wavily course, which had lots of passages of heavy wind from the front, back and of course from larboard and starboard, my companions amused themselves…my sister… just to adjust me, when I reached the transition area again after 2:42:25h, just absolve the next torture, the 21,1km of running.. But at least I was still able to smile… Halfway thru… In spite of the fact, that it was quite warm that day, I was satisfied with my running time of 1:49:48h. I even took me the time at every supply point to stop, and to refresh myself extensive and to drink a lot,( Sadly, they haven´t got rum at the supply stands L ), like the organizer said before the race, but not everybody listened, so lots of the participants had to give up the race. After the race a „ Deja-Vu“ to last year…even SPF 30 Having said this, it is a wonderful contest here in Hannover, but only the food and beverage supply in the finish area is a little bit poor.
