Half triathlon Gérardmer was a good final test in preparation for Hawaii. With a 2nd place and a predictable feeling (after a long period with many specific ironman training) I am quite satisfied. I experienced race rhythm and came out of my...

Today I achieved my first podium of the season at the IRONMAN 70.3 Sweden in Jönköping. A serious boost after the unnecessary misfortune I have experienced this season. From the start of the swim it went very hard, I came out of the water as...

Yesterday I achieved a 6th place in the IRONMAN 70.3 Luxembourg. A result which satisfies me since only 2 weeks ago I took part in the full IRONMAN France. The race was transformed into a duathlon, due to the recent floods in the region it w...

4th place today at the IRONMAN Nice. A result which I would have immediately agreed with six weeks ago, since at that time I just had a crash resulting in a broken collarbone. It was a hard day in which I fought with myself all the time. Looki...

A 5th place on the IRONMAN European Championship, not good but not bad either. I’ve been able to compete for a podium place for a long time, but at the end of the marathon I could not win that one position and in the end I lost a position. The ...

In a nutshell, I can say that the swim and run over the short distance did go well this time. In contrast to Barcelona 70.3 where that went not all that smoothly. The bike over 40 km was decisive. The German winner Maurice Clavel (vice European ch...

Third at IRONMAN 70.3 Barcelona, after Frodeno and Clavel, I can live with that! 7 weeks after IRONMAN South Africa and with yet 8 weeks to go until IRONMAN Frankfurt, this race fell exactly in the middle of 2 peak moments. Thanks to the strong ...
