4wins + one

The relay season started with the Trilagon in Heidelberg. There we wanted to do a sprinting distance while we had the best Pirate-Rocking-Weather. 10degrees and pouring rain. Philippe escaped the waters while lying on the 2nd place and our change was really fast as well. Now it was my turn tu ride the 21km. I had to ride 4 rounds on a curvy course. Sadly I wan´t able to re-gain some time, because the rider on the first place, rode an equal speed like me. Now it was Heike´s turn, she did her best and at the end, we missed the first place by only 15 seconds, while Heike ran a 19:41min over 5km. By the way the first relay tem, was just a men-team. So, we were overall 2nd, but in the mixed ranking we were the first.

Further on we went to the Indeland Triathlon.

Now it was our 4th time to participate here and somehow it´s time for us to win this fucking thing. After 2times 2nd and onetimes 3rd, we wanted to win this race this year. While we had really good weather and brigth sunshine, but heavy winds.Philippe cames out of the waters while lying on the 9th place. Phew, I thought, 9th place is far away on a sprinting distance I thought. Fastly I grabbed my bike and rode on, so hard I almost coudn´t breath anymore, when I arrived at point 5km I haven´t seen any rider yet and I rode more than 40km/h all the time.  Fuck, I thought, than the only hill up the turning point, than I saw the others, riding like on a chain. ATTACK...until the turning point, I passes 5 of them and until the transiton area, there was only one ahead of me. Fast change to Frank, who had to push the hell out of him. YES, at point 3km of the course he passed the first and brought home our first victory here. For the victory we recieved a really nice award. I nice towel of a bank. Of course no cost´s for the organizer.

Than we went to Hückelhoven to participate at the HüWoMan. A sprinting distance triathlon with a really hard bike course. Before the race I checked the participants and saw, that there were lots of strong and powerful relay-teams on the start.

This time was the swimming in a pool with a long way to the transition area. Philippe reached the transition area 2nd, fast change and my turn on the bike. Sadly, I knew the rider before me and I knew, that he is as fast as me the only opposite was, that I didn´t know the course and normally I love to ride flat courses, I was only able to gain 20seconds on him. Now it was Franky´s turn again and it was quite easy for hi after 2km he passed the first and brought home our victory again.

Than weh ad the really hot war at the Zülpich triathlon while weh ad temperatures around 40degrees. It was really hot. This time our swimmer was Freddy, a 18year young one....but he was like a fish and he only needed less than 6min for the 500m. AWESOME.

The guys from KTT01 particpated as well here and they won this race last year, so, it wouldn´t be easy for us.

The lake was really warm as well and so swimming was almost without a wet suit. But Freddy didn´t cre much about it, because he´s a real swimmer and don´t need it. He came to the transition area first and I was first on the bike course. One special thing today was, the relay´teams, had to change like the others, so the biker weren´t allowed to already wear his helmet or shoes and to clap with his mate. Allright, Freddy came, clap, I ran to my bike pulling on my shoes and helmet and off I was. I tried to ride an average speed of 40km7h, but it wasn´t possible under this weather conditions, but who care´s...Pushing, pushing...FULL THROTTLE...I changd to Frank still lying on the first position and he brought home the victory again and we beat the guys from KTT01, maybe they were pisses, because we won, the PIRATES....

After all we did a duathlon over the sprinting distance as well. Two years ago, I participated here as a single starter, so I already knew the bike course, it´s a really hard bike course here in the Eiffel. Again we had wonderful Pirate weather, 12 degrees and pouring rain in Breinig. Frank did a tough job and came first to the transition area, because there was lots of water on the streets I didn´t rode that fast on the downhill passages, at least we had a large gap to the second, I thought, but I forget all this, while riding into the 2nd round, and met a single starter, and be fought, sometimes he in front than me again and so on, this is what I like. When I changed to Frank again I told him, that he could make it easy, but he couldn´t, and he ran like the devil was behind him and so we won this race 10minutes before the 2nd team. YES...
