Event: ITT Ferropolis Triathlon
 

And there it is done. To the lovely Brocken with a bike from my home. Krügerol and me decided to take it easy, at least the whole way to the Brocken. The beginning was lovely. Actually the road up to the Brocken is not open for public walking and biking, but since it was a "holy" moly day, we were able to go uphill. At a bit under 800hm Robert got "surprise surprise" a flat tire again. Than we fixed it, and he managed to fuck up the tube (?) of the tire we pumped up...so change the whole one. Nice. than the road was shit. like walking and carrying bike, than it got a bit better and when we came near the peak there were loads of people, so cycling was difficult and some argumentations were done. Anyway. Made it to the topp. Nice. Downhill was scary. Bad road, carrying the bike, getting passed by MTB-people. We took it really easy, not to get a flat tire again or ruin the bike. Than the last bit was nice again and from Schierke on we had a nice pace. Than we decided to go to "Rappbodetalsperre", a big dam. There it was a really nice view, but you had to pay hard for the dam...cause uphill to it, downhill from it, uphill to the originally route. The Harz-mountains are quite nice for cycling, but you get nothing for free. Than i wanted to speed up, downhill max speed 74km/h, and than pushing harder from Westerhausen to nail the last km. Awesome tour with a really nice trainingspartner, we are just made for each other, too bad we are not gay!

Nice run with Krügerol at the Altenburg. Good flow, but my legs didnt like it at all after all the cycling and 24h running. I hit my bad knee at 24h competition and could still feel it today, and the worst, my injury on the one side backside whole leg is not that good, hope to see some Physio soon...

Nice cycling session with Krügerol. This time a flat course since it was enough climbing yesterday. Not so windy today which made it much more fun. Tried to keep a good pace the whole way. I am training a bit for the 40km, so if i am able to do a triathlon this year, that it will be no problem in under 1h15min. Managed that today. So i will not compete at the triathlon on Sunday, my lungs are still not good enough, coughing again after the cycling today, and it will be not good with swimming, cycling and running, the body will just get a flashback.

Long cycling tour in the beautiful Harz Mountains with Krügerol. He managed to get a quite flat tire right in the beginning in Ballenstedt. And it took ages to find some cycling equipement and a petrol station to fix it. We did it in the end. Than it was just nice cycling. Really lovely route. But loads of wind, i got annoyed by it. I hate wind while i am cycling!!! but lovely tour with highlight being at Hexentanzplatz and enjoying the view. Robert managed to get a flat tire again the last km...and the last 500m he was walking home. i joined him ;)

annoyed about my throat. which is bad since last week wednesday, same shit i had in slovakia. just red and soar. i am still able to train i reckon, but its not the best feeling and my throat is soar all the time

i dont think i will compete in the triathlon at the weekend, just not well prepared enough. will decide on friday. annoying!
