later one day I'm still excited by the impressions of the previous day, and its consequences. Now stands at 3 Time after 2007 and 2008 Ironman Hawaii in October on the plan. But first the race.
unusually late, at 7:45 clock we were released after the usual check in and Bodymarking on the swim course. As in Hawaii, it is a long straight with 1,850 m length, which was floated back and forth. The special feature of this route are the uncertainties with the flow, this time made a very slow swim time and swim to the possible risk of fire in the jellyfish tentacles. They caught me at a weak calf and ankle, others were less fortunate. Dietrich has suffered a huge Feuermahl the neck, resulting in severe nausea throughout the next track. Even at the finish he had to be treated. reached after 1:13:36 hours
I saving the pontoon, which we got into the water and put on a planned, detailed changes. In addition to that of my Langarmkompressionsshirts coating to prevent sunburn (you learn something) and to cool it was important to me carefully einzuschmieren me with sunscreen and to drink already in T1. The Order of the sunscreen ultimately amounted to a war paint, was not my primary goal. The Radpart was exciting. As the route roughly in a flat and a wave part can be divided, my tactic was to always occur on a balanced level of wattage. The result was that I was on the straight sections and the downhill sections relatively quickly, was much slower on the uphill sections, leading as many others. My calculation was that everyone take off your shoes and I in the last Raddrittel still have sufficient reserves to overtake. And the plan worked perfectly. The last 60km, I still can connect my "220W and most of those who were initially more often me berg highly outdated, very old. Over 5,000 km on the Role in the cellar and another 700 km on Mallorca in January is thanks that I could rate my power meter and good. That was my best performance was look back on the bike, I get so far in a race.
was very angry with my fourth of four rounds, two of three aid stations did not have any more drinks. I feel sorry for all the athletes who afterwards went completely dry and were in great difficulties in the tropical temperatures.
for the 2nd Change of the wheel on the run course I ordered a lot of time, knowing that the biggest challenge still lay ahead of me. My tactic was to always run to the aid stations, food and water while walking record and immediately start moving. The course was ideal for this five rounds, recovered only a risk because of the many aid stations to pull down the overall pace much. Of course I could also omit some stations, but the telling of his head, if you already "on the bollard is. In short, I have stoped at each Aidstation and got ice front and rear poured into my jersey until the dice rattled when running on the pulse belt. In addition I have put a lot of sponges over my body and kept wet my shirt in order to benefit from evaporative cooling. The compression properties of the shirt helped the ice longer hold in the upper body, which gave a good effect.
was after four of five laps, I actually finished. Only with much difficulty that I could still stand up and shimmy from station to station. And then I called out to Asdis, Hilton SMS informed of my placement, I was well on the way to win my age group. What can I say, first I could not believe it, then I'd only be afraid! I was so ready that I - before a permanent Geheinlage to finish pondering - could no longer risk losing the position. Of course I had no idea that the second of my age group lagged a half hour. It was the horror! Almost in a trance I have swung in the next 10 km from station to station, am always started on a 4:45 to 5:00 min / km rate, have taken out, dumped ice into the shirt, cola drink, Schämme down and dreamed of better days . And it has finally passed! I've crossed the finish line and thought, as I had AK winner now push the target banner in the air. Further details from the finish in the channel and before that I no longer have. I was completely done and was immediately cashed by the medical staff. There was a health check with ECG and blood pressure measurement, measurement of body temperature (39 degrees!) And weight (+2 KG!). Because of the many Aidstations I must have drunk too much.
went after one hour in the Med area including massage it better again and I realized that this was my first victory in an AK-Ironman race. This, as well as a 25th Place overall, was for me outside of the imaginable, when I arrived on here. Now I look forward to the award party and the slot allocation.
