They shall us never forget here....

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.

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.

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...
