Despite a crash, I reached the 2nd place

On saturaday the 16th of july 2011 I rode in the morning with my MTB to Schlangenbad, its about 30km and 300m of altitude away from my home. And in Schlangebad should occur a “ snake triathlon”, with 600m of swim, 15km MTB and 8km of a cross run. Swimming went really good for me and after 12minutes for 600m I escaped the pool to get on my MTB, to get on the wonderful, technical and not very ambitious bike-course. Two times I had to push the brake really hard, because the signs weren´t that goo to see and one time I had to stop, to fix my chain again, I used to got more luck on the bike. On the following running course, I had to stop again for one time, to get rid of a dog, who didn´t want to hear on his master( track attendant). One small hint for you, to get of a dog: stop, turn around, look the dog in his eyes and shout as loud as you can at it: Get off, you fucking tike…this time it worked,I´ve never saw a dog look like this before. After 5km on the run course I stumbled over a rock and lay me down, really embarrassing, but luckily, no one saw it, and so I got up and strted to run, with a bleeding knee. I got no other choice, and so  I tried not to being catched.. Finally I was rewarded with the 2nd overall, only beaten by my former team-mate Eva Böhrer. I was satisfied, I took the maximum out of me, and that I wpouldn´t have a chance against Eva,I knew it before the start. Conclusion: a really familial contest, I for sure, I´ll participate here again next year. By the way no one controlled or wanted to see my helmet. At this point, I gotta say thank you to the “ Verkehrs und Gewerbeverein” of Schlangenbad for the picture of me on the running course.
