750m swim - 20km cycling - 5km run

- rising:
Although I am extra day once again read through the schedule, which was on that the bike check-in starts at 11:30, I have somehow been persuaded to be there already at 10.00 clock to have. The alarm clock was therefore made for 7:30. That meant sleeping 8.5 hours. Just right I think. After I woke my girlfriend, she made me realize that I must be on at 11:00 am there. I was so still plenty of time
- breakfast.
At 9:30 we went to the bakery that is where I nervously took my breakfast to me. 2 grain roll and 2 rolls but should extend to the period up to the competition to survive hunger-free. Until then I drank way also has one liter of water.
- Directions:
After breakfast I drove so "finally" going on and came on Sulmsee by about 11:15. There was the See complete a one-way scheme. This means that the participants could go into just about to park there, but had no way to leave the area. More on that later however.
- on event grounds
I parked, then, built up my bike and went a lap to calm me. But now I reached exactly the opposite. No matter where I went and looked, to see just "professional athletes" with their racing / triathlon bikes. And I stood with my dam *** trekking bike around there. But no matter now there is no turning back. - I thought at least - should
A few minutes later in the allocation of time I think about the chips but again.
"29 € Please," said the friendly lady behind the table. A look into my wallet had me cringe. 20 € plugged. Great. "I'll be right back. Must get short of money," I replied, and left the registration hut. Even more embarrassing / s well not stupid. With a glance at my clock I could get my nervousness now no longer under control. 12:15 clock showed it. So another 45 minutes until the deadline. Sofort ins Auto und ab zum Bankomat war mein Gedanke. But nothing there. "ONE-WAY SYSTEM" on the entire site ... Remember me Mark? So up on the bikes and after Leibnitz. Shortly before 13:00 clock so back and was picked up my starter kit. Then another race numbers attached, banana and apple eaten, 1 / 2 liter drink and then head to the bike check-in. Just before the official check-in the end. I was just able to put my stuff and rightly go to the start area, as already started the race briefing.
- 750m swim
Even before the race was clear to me that I am not with my breast stroke technique should be classified at the front. But in hindsight would be the last to not have been necessary. Before I felt so 1 million heads with blue bathing cap sticking out of the water. hung beneath the water surface in most of these heads of pure muscle lumps that due to the neoprene suit, seemingly without effort in the 21 degree cold water exaggerated. My timing was to get into the water but the best for me, and so sounded paddle for about 5 minutes in the water not to go under (I myself need yes of course, no wet suit) the redeeming start signal. last a few minutes about it until I have crossed the start line, so far away I had classified me. But no matter. From now on, it was said: forces divided exactly. Since it was my first competition so, and thus also the first time I have been swimming in a lake 750m, I had no idea how much I myself could abverlangen. After about 500m I gekam easy stitch, but not so bad. The growth should therefore have been perfect for me. The helping hand in the exit area I accepted with thanks. Now at a run towards transition area. A dizzying thing after swimming.
TIME: 17:51 min
- 20km cycling
3 minutes in the transition area. This is clearly too long. But I was aware some time to recover to get on the wheel and not just rush:). After crossing the mat time I also activated my Forerunner. After only 500m or about when turning on the main road I noticed that this had put up more or less. TOLL. The only ad that I saw it was the "Virtual Partner" of Garmin, which shows you how far you advance a preset time or after. Of course I was always running out because the device as I had occasion to note, was set to 30km / h. And this speed I could not reach with my RACER simple. Not that I would be here looking for an excuse for my poor cycling skills but I would like you to describe the problems of driving. When I click on my clock now read off how many could neither KM I've driven, yet my heart rate was displayed, I could hardly judge whether I was moving in a creative field adjustable for me. (The read afterwards Average HR was at 172 proposals, or 90% of Max). A look down at my tires drew me a short smile. Although this is a trekking bike, I had a Reifenabrollfläche inferior to that of a downhill bikes would not. So, the tires I could have really inflated. So much preparation should be so. Besides, I heard at every turn of my front tire, a light strip of the brake. Very helpful. Since the front derailleur was not set correctly, only a small treat for the way that made me almost want each course twice. When I was about to turn was the 4, and already I have countless of other participants - was being overtaken on me that the marshals are translated directly to me on their bikes - including one actually on a mountain bike and overtook me at me at the next crossing turn to show the way ... Hmmm. Would have been possible if it had gone behind me anyone? Probably not. Then, at
km8 happened I got a little motivation after I managed to overtake two people at a pitch, because it pushed up her bike. Once at the top, these were hardly see .. Good for me I'm now down the mountain, so I certainly can not go wrong. But after about 500m I heard a short whistles. And then it happened. How 2 F-16 fighter jets shot down two bikes past me. Herrlich. Motivation -> almost zero. Ca. 2km before the end of the bike course opened now the volume of my shoe right shoe's (indoor soccer shoes -> Who needs because even bike shoes) and became entangled with every other pedal revolution. Nevertheless, I did not give up and drove the last back in the transition area. was 48:54 min
- Running is really nothing exciting:
-
TIME. Apart from the fact that my Forerunner now happily working again after I re-him in the transition area started. The first round went relatively easy and the time was still in the frame. In the second round at about 3.5km but I thought my legs were made of concrete. Accordingly, I became a little slower. But after about 25 min was also done and I "finishte" my Sprinttriahtlon first.
TIME: 25:16
TOTAL TIME: 1:36:31
Conclusion:
A very successful event for me anyway, I have only started in April with running something for my endurance to . do The next race I am sure only part where I have so far included a road bike related shoes. Without really learn to "crawl" it is probably less useful to register for next year in a triathlon on the Olympic distance. So a swimming instructor ago.
