Torfmoorsee Triathlon

Last Sunday 4 Pirates went to participate at a triathlon at the Torfmoorsee The organizer prepared for us a triathlon. You had to swim 600m thru a lake, after that you were allowed to ride you bike for 35km and than you had to run for 5,8km all around the lake. After all 299participants reached the finish line. The winner needed 1:23:56h and the last one AG80 2:50:35h. As well, there were lots of relay-teams at the event. But some of us were faster than the relay-teams... First of all,it was time for the ladies. Tanja did  good job out there and was still able to run down some ladies in the last part. Sadly, she just ended up on the 4th place in her AG35, I asked her before, if I´m aloud to tell her age... It was the 1st triathlon for Rouwen, he is or better was a former Baywatch life guard ( DLRG) and just when he entered the water he already escaped the waters, he just needed 11:22min for the swim part, made a fast change, he needed for the 35km about 1:06:10h and finally he just has to run 5,8km and so easy he finished his 1st triathlon ever. „Rocket Guido“ did  fast job today. Just 11:41min for the swim part, than he grabbed his Cannondale and just needed about an hour for the buke course and for the closing running part about 5,8km he just needed 25:20min. Damn he was fast, the guy... „Ancient Pirate“ Mike had to command respect fron the younger ones, and only needed  less than 10min for the swimming part, also less than 1h for the bike course with an average speed of 38km/h and finally he ran the 5,8km in 25:24min. I hope he still got some time left for do some more... By the way, this time we felt again, how it feels like to be a Pirate again and finally on my home course were some more Pirates on the start than me. Maybe we´ll see us again next year. Mike 29th place overall, AG45-9th place Guido 75th place overall, AG 35 -13th place Tanja 200th place overall,AG35-4th place Rouwen 255th place overall,AG-16th place Here you see the official results:  www.sv-teuto.de Lots of greetings Mike
