In my first regional-league race, due to the spontaneous cancellation of swimming, we started in a duathlon with slipstream. Despite being disappointed about the cancellation, I was able to use the opportunity very well to show my running improvements. On the very difficult course, I managed a new 5-km best time and a very successful overall competition. I can´t wait to see, what this performance means on a slipstream-forbidden middle distance

Not showing the improvements, I felt I have made in a year, after being sick and getting my vaccination in the week prior wasn´t what I hoped for. I tried racing with my heart to finally win after 2 year of being second, but it was only enough for fourth this time only a few seconds faster than the two years prior.

Having heard so much about Allgäu Triathlon I just had to compete. Despite expecting a lot I was totally overwhelmed by the amazing organization, crowd and whole event. Winning my age group with a 14th place over all in a race, which athletes like Daniela Ryf have won in the past is a relief, but struggling on the run leaves me hungry for another try on the longer distance next year.

As a last sharpener ahead of Ironman 70.3 Nice, I did a local triathlon in Mondsee as a last sharpener out of heavy training load. With a solid swim and an ok performance on the bike, I suprised myself with a strong run into the third overall spot with a new 5 km PB.

Unfortunately I wasn´t able to perform in Nice once again. Having had perfect preperations I expected a lot from myself and had trouble showing it on the course. Despite a good feeling on the swim, the time was bad. On the bike I was able to show my strength properly riding the 22nd bike time of the day including all the professionals, as well as the 2nd best amateur time on the day. Unfortunately, they served smaller bottles at the aid stations, which I lost multiple times without having had the chance to drink. Already struggling with first signs of dehydration on the Kilometer 45 on the bike, the run was a torture. Of course you can´t tell, if that was the only problem, but it surely was a big part.

I started my season with a half marathon in Kallmünz. Against my expectation, the course was pretty flat and fast. I managed to run the course in a time of 1:39:06 and won my Age group with this time. Unfortunately, I was dehydrated heavily, which meant that I wasn´t able to run the second half strong.

It was the time to do my first ever triathlon in May this year. I went there with no expectations at all and managed to get third in my age group and 18th out of 34. The race went amazing and I was able to be quite consistent overall. I think I could have gone a bit harder on the bike and on the swim without damaging my run performance very much. I did this race without aero bars on my road bike, because I haven´t ridden with them since November last year, but I decided to put them back on again and I will do the next one with a pair of aero bars. The course was a little bit too short so I came in just below one hour. Additionally, I was very happy with my transitions in which I performed very well.

My second half marathon this year went way better than the first one. I was hydrated very well as well as I ate simple carbohydrates instead of dark bread, which I did for the first. I decided to set my goal passively with a 4:25 per Kilometer and an expected finish time of 1:34:30. At the 10 kilometer mark, I felt very well and decided to speed up to a 4:05 pace. I slowly caught one leading woman after another, which was very motivating. With about 6 kilometers to go, I saw the pacemakers for a 1:30 half marathon and I decided I want to finish in front of them. I caught them with three kilometers to go and was able to finish in 1:29:16. With about 300 meters to go, I got overtaken in a sprint by the only person for the whole second half of the run. I wanted to get him back and sprinted. He slowed down a little bit, but as soon as he saw that I was about to overtake him again, he sped up and finished just two seconds ahead of me. At that time, I didn´t know he´d be in my age group, but he was. I was super overwhelmed by my amazing result. I got 52nd out of 2260 and 2nd in my age group finishing just 2 seconds behind, which is a bit sad. I also did a very fast 10 km with a time of 40:26 in the second half of the half marathon, which bet my record for this distance from last year by over 4 minutes.

This weekend I did my second ever triathlon. I hoped for an awesome race in advance, in which I´d perform better than in my first triathlon in Oberschleißheim. I did a few easy training days in advance with the last hard run being three days before the race.
At the evening before the race, my mother told me, that Faris Al-Sultan would be a commentator at the race, as well as Frederik Funk would start at the race as well. At that moment I realized, that I didn´t know anything about the race. I haven´t taken a look at the race course, nor did I look up, who my competitors would be. Soon I realized, that the same five guys would start in my age group as the first five in my age group in Oberschleißheim. Even though I´m usually pretty calm in the advance of races, I was very excited after that. Additionally in the morning, when I looked at my watch about an hour before the race, I recognized, that it was empty and I had to run by feel, which I never really practiced. Due to these circumstances, my pre-race nerves were very high that day and it was a big relief when the starting shot had been fired, as I was overthinking the whole race.
The swim went very well and I was able to get into a good rhythm quickly. I performed well at orientating, even though it was the first time I tried it, except for the triathlon in May. I swam in a small group, which I left at the end of the swim to catch up with another group a few meters ahead.
I left the water at the tail of the new group and went into T-1.
My transition didn´t go as well as planned, as I grabbed my stuff in another order than I prepared before. Heading out to the bike I wanted to get on my bike and slipped off my right shoe Unfortunately I ripped the rubber apart, which cost me another few seconds.
The bike went very well overall. I was able to close the gap to the one person I entered the transition with quickly and decided to go pretty hard on the bike. Suddenly I recognized a repeating clack-noise, which seemed familiar to me. My speed sensor was touching the spokes slightly, so I pulled it out by a few centimeters during the ride, but my computer showed no speed at all, so I put it back in a bit when I recognized that the sensor on the spoke fell off, so I had to rely on feel for the bike leg as well. We fought hard on the positions, which was a great experience.
Coming into T-2 I was second in a small group of three people and exited the transition as first of that group.
The other two ran a pace, which I wasn´t able to run along, so I decided to let them go. When they were about 50 meters up front they eased off the pace a little bit and the distance stayed similar. I tried coming back into that group hard, but I wasn´t able too. On the straight sections, I closed the gap towards to them by a few seconds, but I lost that time on the narrow corners, which I wasn´t able to take at a high pace. There were a lot of them… At one kilometer to go, at least that was what I thought because I saw a 4-kilometer mark on the side of the street I wanted to up the pace to 110% percent, but It felt like after one corner was the finish line. In the end, my run time was 17:40, which means that the course is probably around 4,5 kilometers long.
I´m very happy with the time I was able to reach as well as, that the race went so well overall.
At the award ceremony, I recognized that I was fourth in my age group, which just felt bad. I gave everything I had and it just wasn´t enough to be honored. I will take that as an extra motivation in training to make sure my time at Ironman Klagenfurt will be below ten hours and not that tiny little bit above.

Today I did my first triathlon in the „Bayernliga“ and was able to finish 21st. Our team „Tsv Jahn Freising“ was only able to get second last as we were only three people because the best biker out of our club wasn´t able to start due to an illness.
The format today was „slipstream allowed“, just as in Wts.
My day started off pretty good with a strong swim, so I was 14th out of the water.
I started the bike with the guy, who won the race later and he tried to close the gap to the first group. The pace was very high and I didn´t feel like doing the work. A few kilometers in he told me we could get the front group if we worked together. I roasted myself a little too much, but he was able to jump on the wheels in the first group. So I had to wait for the next group because I just couldn´t get on, especially because a lot of descends followed in which the advantage off being in a group is just enormous. I jumped on their wheels and we rode together quite strong.
After a while, I did some work in the front and a few seconds after I dropped back a little bit into the slipstream, I drove into a wheel of a rider in front after he braked slightly. I drove off the road into a guardrail and brushed against it for what felt like an eternity. I was able to get back onto the street and luckily didn´t crash another rider while doing so. During that, I clipped out of my paddles and my bike felt like, I had a flat. I knew, had to finish because we needed the points just to have the chance off averting our decadence as we missed the first race of the season. I was so sure the tire was flat and I didn´t have a spare with me. I didn´t want to walk the whole way. I recognized the tire was still full and I was so happy and instantly tried to get back to the group, but they were just to fast.
I had to wait for the next group again. Coming into T-2 this group split up and I was barely able to stay in the front pack. Probably I should have saved more energy for the run.
I started the run with very heavy legs but was able to catch a few guys quickly. After about one kilometer three fast guys overtook me and then I just finished the race. The people in front were too fast and I was able to stay in front of the people behind.
I´m not particularly happy with my result, especially because of the close crash and the fact that I could have been far further upfront if I worked together better with the winner today and not lost the group yet again. I´d have been likely to finish seven positions better, which would have meant our club would have been 12th and not 14th. Shit happens! Luckily I didn´t crash and got injured badly. I´m looking forward to the „Hirschbachschleiferl“ next week and hope to perform better there.

This was tough. Exhausted, but very happy I reached the finish line of our local 9,7-kilometer run in second place yesterday. I was able to run that distance in 36:39, another 21 seconds faster than I thought I could if I had a perfect race.
Even though the race is very small with only 140 allies, the race is stacked with good runners, nine people reached the line in less than 40 minutes in fact.
We started off with a pack of six runners, which gained time on the others quickly. Two runners dropped out of the group in the first few kilometers. After about 4 kilometers, even Dirk, who later won the race, didn´t want to run our pace anymore. Only my two club mates, Jörg, who has a personal record of 35:xx on that exact course and Nik, who wanted to win the race this year, led the race. Nik was able to get about a 10-meter advantage over Jörg, who was another 10-meters in front of me by the incline after 5 kilometers. During that incline, he started to have breathing issues, as well as that he started to feel bad, so Jörg and I closed the gap and overtook him eventually. Slowly, but surely I managed to close the gap to Jörg and I decided to sit in right at his heels for some time. Sit in, is relative as we ran a 3:40ish pace. With about two kilometers to go, Dirk managed to come back and overtook fairly quickly as he ran something like a 3:30 pace, which neither of us even dreamed of doing at that moment. Nobody was close behind so it was a battle, who got second, with less than two kilometers to go. Using all my might I overtook Jörg, but I was just not able to run faster than him and he closed the gap again. I just couldn´t run faster, but I was able to dash away. Still, he was just faster and he closed it again. Speeding up was impossible, I just didn´t have the power anymore, but another dash was possible and with more moves like this, my lead was defended coming into the village and the last 500 meters, the last 400, the last 300. I thought I had it, if I continued to give it everything I had. Somehow he was able to sprint right next to me, but this was the exact motivation I needed, to sprint for the line.
36:39 – a new record for me as well as the whole population from Kirchdorf!

The main goal of that day was to stay in the „Bayernliga“, as we had to really bad races this season out of four in total. One, of which, was a DNS and the other one was a DNS by our best teammate! We achieved this by working together really well on the bike after a swim, in which one of our teammates got hit badly, so we had to wait for some time because we decided to race together as only the third finisher of our team counted into the end result! We followed it up with a solid run and like this, we achieved our goal!
Today I did my last official triathlon of the season, the 3 Muc Triathlon Oberschleißheim. After a solid race, I was able to get my first ever overall podium in a time of 54:27!
The decision, if you want to swim in a wetsuit for a 400-meter swim is quite difficult, as a lot more than the saving you make during the swim can be lost in a bad transition! I still decided to go for a wetsuit and was able to swim really well, being the first out of the Water.
Due to a really bad transition, I left the 25 seconds down onto the leader, because I just couldn´t get my wetsuit off, as the arm of the wetsuit couldn´t get over my watch, because the string to open up the wetsuit tangled up between them.
I rode the first round of 5 kilometers in the front until I got overtaken, by someone who left the transition right on my heels. He wasn´t much faster than me so I rode with him for the rest of the bike and we caught the leader just before T-2 entering the transition in Positon one and two.
My transition didn´t go exactly as planned, as I forgot to put the baby powder into my shoes and wasn´t able to enter them quickly, so I left the transition in the third position.
The leader pushed the pace and got a gap quickly, but I was able to overtake the guy, I rode with and ran by myself for most of the run. with about 400 meters to go a fast runner came by from behind and I had no chance at all to counter his attack so I have to be happy third.
My goal was to win the race, but the winner was three minutes faster than the winner last year and even the 7th athlete this year, was faster than him, so I´m very happy with third and a time, which is over two minutes faster than the winning time last year!

As I mentioned I broke my Elle and spoke after a cycling crash on the descend from Lluc to Caimari. I was going 57 km/h an hour, when I crashed, so I’m very lucky that nothing worse happened! Of course, I got scratches all over my body, but nothing major elsewhere! Head, collarbone, everything is fine🙃
My surgery this morning went well! Right now, I’m still in the hospital, but I’m probably getting released tomorrow in the noon, a day earlier than expected as I’m recovering well👍
Usually people recover fully within three months, but as I’m young and fit I should be able to get healthy within two months. My plan is to get back to cycling indoors (Thanks @gozwifttriathlon) and running quite soon, but swimming and especially climbing will need a longer rest.
I’ve not only been lucky with the injury, but also with the time of the season it happened, as I wanted to do one week off proper training after Mallorca and afterwards start the build up for my Ironman. I don’t even want to imagine that happening in the (early) summer.
Thanks to all the people, who wished a speedy recovery!😁
