Westfalentriathlon 2012 in Dortmund

The weather forecast was really good, when I put my bike in my car at 9:00o´clock and rode towards Dortmund. When I got there,the weather wasn´t the best anymore, but at least, it didn´t rain. Fastly I got my strting bag and went towards the transition area. After the check-in I went to the channel and watched the course and the start of the relay-teams.

Than it was time form e, changed into the wet-suit and warmed up. The water got 20,3degrees. Warmer than the air and so it was really comfortable to swim. I was really satidfied with my time for the 750m with 15:30min, I know it can be faster…That means, I have to exercise some more.

During the swim, it started to rain, and so the bike course became slippery and wet, which I first remarked when I almost hit the ground during a 90degree curve, but I didn´t crashed, luckily. Because of this, I slowed down some more before the curves. But I was able to regain some place and with a time of 36:19min with change, I entered the running course.

Than my beloved part came, the running. We had to run two rounds thru the wonderful Fredenbaum Parc and after 21:37 for the 5km I crossed the finish line.

Finally I had a time of 1:13:25 and ended up on the 35th overall and 8th of 33 in my age-group. I´m really satidfied with my results of my 2nd triathlon.


Lots of greetings
