Regensburg Triathlon

at the  14th of august with about  700 partcipants.. Turning point course in the channel sluice with water-start.. The swimming was almost perfect for me, it took me only 25minutes. Bike 40 km A hilly course, with a short steep passage with an average increase of 15%, the Schelmengraben, it went quite good, it was hot today but still bearable. But than a wasp stinged me in my right thigh, it hurt and began to get thick really fast. Running 11 km I t was a flat looping course, with 4 rounds to run, most of the time on gravel stone, right along the river Donau. 12:00 Uhr Noon- 33°C and a very painful thigh - Or should I drop off the race??? Somehow, I didn´t feel very good, maybe because of the sting, or the heat or both? I slowed down a bit… 4 rounds with each 2,75km long, and everytime you had to run thru the transition area and the start and finish area, and the viewers and specatators were in a really good mood and temper. I just concentrated myself on reaching the finish. Finally on the last round, I felt better again, and everything went better again. It was a perfect organized triathlon, but not for myself, but I clenched my teeth. Relieved and lucky I searched some shadow after I finished, and recovered soon.   6th place age-group M MK 40  Place AG   Overall time              swim          bike        run 6               2:16:25                0:25:29                 1:02:23        00:48:33  Lots of greetings,  Daniel
