New Projekt

Last weekend there was the Ironman Switzerland. It was very inspiring to see and to read the reports! I guess it is worth a try for a new project: ;- )

Weekly report

After the first week engaging in the job again, I am struggling to keep the training going. However, I did some swimming, running and today I am looking forward to spending some more time running. At least my weight is tumbling further on - right now: 85 kg.

Here you may find a short video about the best endless pool in the world: the Limmat river in Zuerich:



Here are my training results - recorded by www.2peak.com:

Great stuff. Thanks again family and friends!


Today again 1 hr swimming.

I did it!!!!! - first 70.3 Ironman in Switzerland = 6:13 hrs

Yesssss! Today I finished my first 70.3 Ironman in Switzerland with 6:13 hrs. Thanks to all the supporters: Irina, Mum, Dad, Sandra, Joel, Jan, Sven, Regine, Hanna, Lisa, Holger, the guy playing the bagpipe at the sea, the musicans at the course and the great supporter-croud of FreeRadicals! Great, without you, I would never have been able to finish!

The Race
After a pretty good swim - for which I trained a lot the last half year - I tried to keep up the pace, but was brutally overtaken by "hundreds of bikers" - specially at the steep hills. Even at the running, still people went by. After all I made around place 145 out of 176 in the M30 category and around place 775 overall (out of 1200).

Great stuff!
