Victory at the Duathlon of  Lorsbach

Last I won the women Cross Duathlon of Lorsbach over the main distance of 5-22-5 and I wanted to defend my title this year. Like last year, I found a sponsor in my employer and received a jersey for that and my colleagues didn´t put any pressure on me, because of the facr, that I HAD to win this race again.

While standing at the starting line, I saw a couple of strong womens and so I wasn´t that sure anymore, because of them ran really hard the first part and I tried to stay in contact with her and so I finished the first 5km with a time under 22min and jumped on my bike and I tried to watch the other women, because she was at least 10seconds before me in the transition area, and…she changed to a men, a relay team,  thank goodness I thought.

On the bike, I pushed me again to my limits and I haven´t seen any women at all. Good job and after 1h including both changes I made my way on the last 5km of running and they hurt really much, but I knew because of Jan, that I had a healthy margin, but I wanted to run a good time. I ran the whole time together with a man, who wanted to sprint the last meters before the finish, but I was able to hold him and shortly before the finish and he let me cross the finish before him.

Because of the fact, that the 2nd running part was a little bit longer than last year, I wasn´t able to recieve a better time, but I was really satisfied, because the 2nd women finished almost 10minutes after me.
