Triathlete Pirates entering the 2nd TriLAGOn and reach for
the podium. And in fact for the TOP-places – yeah -
While Sveny won the women last years TriLAGOn in the sprint-distance.
Everyone else, instead of – Sveny – chiKKen and Capt´n Klotz
– participated the first time here, while doing a triathlon.
Highly motivated we went with 5 Pirates to the start of the
500m swim, 21k bike and 5k run. Sveny for the ladies, Uwe
with the men, and the boys Harry(swim), chiKKen(bike) and
Capt´n Klotz(run) as a relay team.
chiKKen and Uwe, to be cool as a cucumber, on their way to
the start…
Right at 11o´clock was the start for the single starters for
the swim part in the Lago Laprello. Sveny left the 18,5°C
cold water on the 8th place a few minutes before Uwe.
Sveny at one of the 4 bike-rounds
Bad luck at the 2nd disciplin After a fast change, Sevny and
Uwe had to ride 4 rounds with 21k´s on the Time-Trial Bike.
Bad Luck for Uwe, he had to drop out after 2,5 rounds because
of a flat tyre on his new Time-machine. What a pity !!!!!!!!!!!!
Getting off the bike and go on running…
Sveny reached the 2nd place after the bike part and had about
2minutes behind the leader on the 5k run course, but with
an awesome outstanding run, Sveny were able to catch the first
place and defends her title from the year before in 1:04:59h
Outstanding relay team and times
Even for the relay team everything went well on their first
common start. Start for the relay teams were at 11:15h with
Harry doing the swim part.
>From Harry to chiKKen – Best change I can say…
He changed first with 6:42min after the swim to his biker
chiKKen, who rodes a fantastic race and rode the fastest bike
split with 34:43min and changed to Capt´n Klotz.
Now the air and the streets were burning!!! ChiKKen made it
real fast on the bike
For the top dog was the part to bring home the Awesome victory
with a running time of 16:18 on the probably shorte run course,
and were the only realy team under an hour (57:43)
Now…flying the flag on the podium! 1st place for the PIRATES
By the way, we made in all three parts the fastest times in
the relay-race.
Sveny on 1st place and defending champion at the sprint triathlon
After the winner ceremony, Harry went to an 3k open water
swim race and finished 2nd in his age-group with a time of
43:21 and so, he had to do a winner ceremony again.
So all of you…wrap up warm, even 2010 we´ll come back to enter
the podium again...
